CASA VID E HIGUREA
Located on a cliff facing the sea in Ostional, Guanacaste, this house stands out for its design harmoniously integrated with the natural surroundings. The architectural concept is based on respectfully blending with the topography of the land, minimizing environmental impact while ensuring uninterrupted views of the ocean. The design gives the impression of being a single level due to its strategic layout that takes advantage of the cliff’s slope.
The location, on a turtle nesting beach, has been a key factor in the development of the house. The project was carefully designed to not interfere with the nesting of Ostional’s turtles. Strict mitigation measures were implemented, such as the use of special lighting, automatic curtain systems that block artificial light, and non-reflective wall coverings.
In addition to its integration with the natural environment, the house is characterized by its sustainable approach. All the roofs are designed to collect rainwater and are covered with vegetation, helping to reduce internal temperatures and improve energy efficiency. The photovoltaic system that supplies all the house’s energy further reinforces its commitment to the environment.
Distributed across several levels, the house has a main access point on the upper level, where the social areas, service areas, a secondary bedroom, office, and the master bedroom are located. The master bedroom is situated in the most private and elevated area of the property. A lower level houses two additional bedrooms and a gym, with these spaces integrated into the landscape, surrounded by the forest and mountains, creating a perfect fusion with the environment.
The choice of natural materials and a color palette that blends with the local vegetation reinforce the concept of respectful integration with nature. Every aspect of the design has been carried out with a deep environmental responsibility, particularly in relation to the proximity of the house to Playa Ostional, one of the most important turtle nesting sites in Costa Rica.
