Located on the coast of Guanacaste, Costa Rica, Dolce far niente house is set in a privileged natural environment, surrounded by lush vegetation and panoramic views of the Pacific Ocean. This region, known for its striking landscapes that blend mountains and sea, creates a serene atmosphere where tranquility and connection with nature are essential. The house's strategic location not only maximizes the benefits of the tropical climate but also harmoniously integrates the project with its surroundings, respecting the topography and local biodiversity.

The architecture of the house is characterized by simple and functional lines, showcasing a minimalist composition that prioritizes comfort and efficiency. The use of local materials, such as natural stone, reflects a conscious and sustainable approach, in dialogue with the surrounding nature. This material, in addition to visually blending with the landscape, plays a key role in the house’s climate regulation, providing protection from the heat and offering coolness. The layout of the spaces was also designed with a passive approach to optimize natural ventilation, reducing the need for mechanical solutions.

One of the most iconic elements of the house is the large stone wall that shields it from the sun. This wall, with its robust texture and rustic finish, forms a central axis in the design, fluidly separating private and social spaces. The roof, with its wide eaves, extends protection from tropical rains and sunlight, while allowing fresh breezes to flow through and ensuring that the sea views remain a focal point from every corner of the house. This balance between protection and openness creates a restful atmosphere that invites contemplation.

The project not only offers a modern refuge in the midst of nature but also embodies a conscious way of living, where architecture responds to the environment without imposing upon it. Every design decision seeks to integrate with the land, the climate, and the views, fostering a constant dialogue between the building and the landscape. The result is a space of peace and balance, where luxury lies in simplicity and in an intimate connection with the surroundings.
