Architecture Design of Sirena House

Description About The Project

Sirena House stands as a testament to Studio Saxe’s innovative approach to tropical architecture, nestled along the sun – kissed shores of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Indeed, commissioned to design a beachfront residence, the studio seamlessly integrated the allure of the jungle into the very fabric of the home, provide residents with a unique harmony of nature and luxury.

Concept:
The Sirena House unfolds its beauty through a thoughtful deconstruction of mass. Studio Saxe artfully divided the structure into pavilions with overlapping roofs, create captivating spaces between volumes. This dematerialization not only integrates the dwelling into its lush surroundings. But also ensures a constant connection with nature.

Design:
Within the pavilions, distinct realms emerge. Bedrooms, living spaces, and service areas find their place, forming a cohesive tapestry woven through indoor and outdoor spaces. This intentional design invites inhabitants to immerse themselves in the natural surroundings as they move seamlessly from one space to another, offer a truly immersive living experience.

Sustainability:
Sirena House pioneers sustainable tropical living. The deliberate decomposition of volumes allows for natural cross – ventilation, embrace the tropical breeze. Carefully positioned extended rooflines shield from the sun and rain, embody bioclimatic design principles. Sustainable systems like rainwater catchment and water recycle, coupled with passive design, establish Sirena House as an eco – conscious haven.

Studio Saxe was interested in creating the sensation of floating rooflines, thus a series of thin columns support the roof planes in a way that they seem as they are floating.

The extended rooflines are carefully placed to protect from the sun and the rain through a process of bioclimatic design which analyzes the sun patterns, winds, and precipitation to create comfort without the use of energy.
