Architecture Design of Casa Las Olas

Description About The Project

Casa Las Olas designed by Young Projects is an impressive project that takes advantage from nature. Indeed, this house is the hub of a deep, ocean facing 4.5 acre compound. Also features two guest homes, a yoga pavilion, and a structure for relaxation adjacent to the beach. In essence, the Retreat House is a courtyard parti, where indoor rooms form a ring encircling the central courtyard, which spills dramatically onto the beach at the property’s front. The ring shifts and molds around the site’s most spectacular natural elements, include an age old tree covered with vines, bromeliads, and other symbiotic species situated at the courtyard’s center. A sunken seat area at the base of this tree offers space for intimate gatherings or breakfast in the dappled morning light.

On the other hand, the interior palette is modern and tropical, with a focus on colors, textures, and natural woods. The ground floor is dominated by saturated hues. The living room features deep emerald green fabrics, the dining room punctuated by a teal Venetian plaster wall behind a custom black lacquer built in. And the library by a deep navy wall behind mahogany shelving. In contrast, the second – floor bedrooms are airy and earthy. With a focus on neutral tones and textiles, rattan surfaces intersect with white alabaster terrazzo floors and occasional accents of color and material.

Overall, the residence’s interior spaces provide privacy while insistently pointing towards the spellbinding landscape outside. Dramatic spatial moments and views of breathtaking natural vistas punctuate each room and drive circulation through the home. In addition to this, interior common spaces also take advantage of the compound’s overarching indoor – outdoor lifestyle. Also, oriented towards large windows and doors that can be thrown open to reveal sprawl terraces and expansive views.

Casa Las Olas, Inspired from Rich Natural Landscape by Young Projects — Indeed, visitors arrive at Casa Las Olas from a narrow road that meanders through tropical gardens and approach the building on a travertine and gravel footpath.

The Casa Las Olas Gallery:

Text by the Architects: Located on a lush, previously undeveloped site in Playa Grande in the Dominican Republic, Casa Las Olas, designed by New York based architecture studio Young Projects, sits at the cusp of a dense jungle on one side and a pristine beach on the other. Known as “Casa Las Olas,” the 20,000 square foot vacation home is designed to take advantage of both faces of the property, draw inspiration from the rich natural landscape and the owners’ interest in hosting large groups of family and friends for retreats focused on wellness and creative exchange.
