Between the hills and beaches of the southern part of Costa Rica, Hamann House rises (also known as Villa Cascadas), immersed in the natural world that characterizes this region.

The houses that foreigners usually build on this zone are mostly “Spanish style” or “neoclassical”, that nothing has to do with the natural and climatic context of this area, so they do not work correctly in terms of comfort. Fortunately we were able to design a modern project that also respects the tropical characteristics of this zone. Hamann House was designed from a continuous axis that connects the access to the property with the main visual, fed by the splendid view towards the sea, the mangroves and the mountain.
