Casa Baker is immersed in the jungle of Nosara, engaging in a constant dialogue with the surrounding landscape. Surrounded by trees that become visual focal points, the home unfolds across multiple levels connected by covered garden pathways and staircases, blurring the boundary between indoor and outdoor living.
Natural light and wind flow freely through the spaces, shifting with the rhythm of the day and reinforcing the home’s connection to its environment. The swimming pool, which extends from the exterior into the heart of the covered social area, embodies this same intention: allowing the natural elements to permeate the built space. When privacy or shelter is needed, the home transforms into a retreat enclosed by folding wooden louvers that offer protection from the elements or open up to the view, depending on the user's needs. A home that lives within the jungle, adapting sensitively to its context without imposing upon it.
