The house designed by OsArquitectura is conceived as an abstract construction of opaque planes and transparent cloths that allow to maintain the privacy of the users while it is related and opened to the surrounding vegetation.
Description of the project by OsArquitectura
The house is located in a touristic coastal village en Tamarindo’s Beach, in Guanacaste. Placed merely 3 km from the coast, the house lies on the slide of a small mountain covered by a secondary forest.
This forest and the relationship between the house and the topography make you live and be related with the treetops, between which the roofs of the house are woven like a series of leaves, which direct the lighting and the natural ventilation.
The house is isolated, inserted in and surrounded by the forest and, as such, all its social part is open towards it by a glass. The entirely private área is contained between the cut of the ground and the central wall that divides the private from the social sides.
