THIS SIX-BEDROOM HOUSE IS LOCATED ON THE TOP OF A HILL AT A GATED COMMUNITY CLOSE TO PLAYA CONCHAL, GUANACASTE, COSTA RICA. THE HOUSE WAS DESIGNED IN A WAY THAT EVERY SINGLE ROOM OF IT HAS A VIEW TO THE PACIFIC OCEAN AND THE FOREST PROTECTED LAND.
BECAUSE OF THE TOPOGRAPHY OF THE PROPERTY, THE HOUSE’S SPACES WERE SEPARATED IN TWO AREAS; A MAIN BUILDING WITH 3 BEDROOMS AND THE SOCIAL AREAS ARE LOCATED AT THE TOP OF THE PROPERTY AND A SECOND AREA HAS THE OTHER THREE MASTER BEDROOMS WHICH TERRACE DOWN WITH THE TOPOGRAPHY IN ORDER TO ALSO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE VIEW. THIS 3 BEDROOMS ARE COVERED BY STAGGERED GREEN ROOFS THAT INCREASE THE GREEN AREAS OF THE PROJECT AND REDUCE THE CARBON FOOTPRINT OF THE BUILDING.
THE HOUSE BLENDS WITH THE SURROUNDING NATURE BY USING LOCAL MATERIALS , ORGANIC SHAPED ROOFS AND BIG OPENINGS AND WINDOWS. THIS BIG OPENINGS HELP TO BRING NATURAL VENTILATION INTO THE HOUSE AND USE THE SUN LIGHT ALONG THE DAY.
