A "suspended" villa in Costa Rica. A project that respects the environment

Architect Leonardo Jiménez of Indigo Arquitectura designs a residence in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. A house surrounded by nature that respects it and uses the characteristics of the landscape to "work" in the best possible way

Architect Leonardo Jiménez's project, located in Costa Rica in Guanacaste through a careful analysis of the site and acquiring full awareness of the surrounding environment

Villa surrounded by vegetation

Located in a mountain surrounded by topographical troughs, a shallow river which is very close to the northern Pacific coast of Costa Rica, the house is slightly detached and seems to fly over the ground

Villa surrounded by vegetation

More than 80% of its floor area is suspended. The construction only reaches the ground if necessary, thus minimizing moisture rising from the ground and natural ventilation is best expressed through the project itself

Villa surrounded by vegetation

The east-west direction allows the building to fully open its northern facade providing indirect light for the whole house and creating different environments that change dramatically throughout the day. A nearby river that refreshes and nourishes the flora and fauna of the place can be appreciated visually and phonetically from the medium

Villa surrounded by vegetation

The house is located at the top of the treetops. The opening between the two modules allows the end user to continue his or her journey through the mountain, the same route that existed before the house was built. The house does not interfere with nature

Villa surrounded by vegetation

The residence is a project that respects the environment and underlines the absolute role of nature and its ephemeral poetry. The house designed by the architect Leonardo Jiménez of the Indigo Arquitectura studio aims to fly and reach the sky. "The sky is neither a place nor a moment. The sky is perfect. " Richard Bach's book Jonathan Livingstone Seagull
