Meek Residence
Santa Teresa, Costa Rica
Set on a hillside in Santiago de Cóbano, this residence emerges as a quiet response to its surroundings—an architecture that does not impose itself on the landscape, but rather dissolves into it. The project is conceived as a sequence of open, breathable spaces that extend toward the natural environment, allowing the boundaries between interior and exterior to blur.
Organized across two levels, the house accommodates three bedrooms and two bathrooms within a spatial arrangement that prioritizes openness and continuity. Circulation flows naturally between social and private areas, while terraces and shared spaces act as transitional thresholds, framing daily life within the rhythms of the tropical context.
Materiality plays a central role in defining the character of the project. Locally sourced teak wood is used extensively throughout ceilings and built-in elements, introducing warmth and texture while reinforcing a direct connection to place. This tactile palette is balanced by a restrained architectural language, where clean geometries allow materials and light to take prominence.
The interior spaces are shaped by a careful interplay between rustic expression and contemporary precision. Nowhere is this more evident than in the kitchen, where handcrafted wooden elements coexist with refined detailing, resulting in a space that feels both grounded and deliberate.
Rather than relying on enclosure, the architecture embraces exposure—inviting natural light, air, and vegetation to become active components of the living experience. In doing so, the house transcends its role as a shelter, positioning itself instead as an immersive environment rooted in the sensory qualities of the tropics.
Designed in collaboration with architect Salvador Schenone and developed by CRN Architecture, the project reflects a shared intention to create architecture that is both contextually grounded and experientially rich.
