Architecture Design of Tres Amores House

Description About The Project

Tres Amores House designed by Studio Saxe perched on the hilltops of the town of Nosara Costa Rica, that would blend and hide within its natural surroundings. Whilst opening to the dramatic ocean and mountain views. Due to the constrained nature of the size of the site, Studio Saxe decided to create a house composed of two floors that in turn are staggered to break the mass of the dwelling. Besies, living public spaces below linked to private bedrooms above by a dramatic vertical core that provides the entrance of the home and a moment of intense connection to the framed views of the ocean. Also, softer interior spaces are juxtaposed to harsher textured exterior cladding of charred teak wood and black framed windows.

Indeed, the construction method of this dwelling came directly from understand the capability of the soil to hold weight and the seismic conditions that exist in Costa Rica. Together with engineers Studio Saxe decided to create a lightweight steel structure that would pre-cut off site and assembled quickly and efficiently on the site.

On the other hand, this house uses the power of the sun to heat water, minimize energy consumption, as well as recycles water through filters, and utilizes state of the art treatment plant systems. Indeed, this design is a clear reflection of an approach to design that combines high tech preemptive design with low tech construction methods.
