Casa Enoki is a luxury private residence located in the exclusive Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica. Designed to harmonize with its natural surroundings, the home embraces indoor-outdoor living with expansive views of the Pacific Ocean. Thoughtfully integrated into the landscape, Casa Enoki reflects a refined balance between contemporary design, tropical materials, and environmental sensitivity.
Located in the heart of the exuberant Papagayo Peninsula in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Enoki House is an architectural statement that emerges from the terrain with both precision and sensitivity to the tropical shoreline of Guanacaste’s coast. Designed by the renowned firm QBO3 Arquitectos, this residence embodies an intimate dialogue between the tropical landscape, architectural geometry, and the horizon line as a central compositional element.
The site—a steeply sloped plot embedded within the primary vegetation of the Costa Rican dry tropics—presented both a technical and conceptual challenge from the outset: how to insert a high-standard residential project without disturbing the ecological harmony of the surroundings, while capturing the authentic and majestic essence of the landscape.
The design responds with a strategy that does not impose, but rather interprets. The team approached the process with an exploratory mindset, reading the terrain not as an obstacle, but as a canvas charged with meaning. The habitable platforms were carefully staggered, following the natural contours of the topography. This allowed for minimal intervention on the land and the preservation of pre-existing vegetation as an active part of the project.
