House facing the tropical Guanacaste forest and a beautiful creek.
The emphasis of the design is on outdoor living spaces to enjoy the pleasant climate all year round. The interior circulation spaces are eliminated in favor of exterior circulation to enjoy the garden area.
The large roof made of zinc sandwich panels insulated with rock wool offers protection against rain but also a very good insulation against the burning sun in summer.


The entire house was designed with a natural cross ventilation system from the garden to the back side of the house but in addition, air-conditioning units are available in the bedrooms. For the kitchen, window screens were installed between the walls and the roof which allows to keep a constant freshness but also an aesthetic lightness of the roof.

"The use of concrete effect tiles on the floor and wood on the ceiling creates a visual as well as sensory contrast of colors throughout the house."
