Casa Azucar

Our Canadian clients were looking to swap the winter season for tropical climes. Their desire was to create an oasis that blends the indoors and outdoors while respecting the existing trees and nearby natural creek that creates an incredible wildlife corridor. This would generate a family dynamic that would be fun and healthy. We carefully choreographed to allow entry from the back of the house to allow a creek view upon arrival, while living in the common areas of the dwelling.

Our common goal of respecting the existing trees and a natural creek that the property had was a must. 

We were confronted with a property in the heart of the town of Nosara, which meant easy access to the beach and town amenities, but also meant dealing with neighbours on all sides.

We decided to focus our attention on creating the sensation of a secluded oasis, merging architecture and landscape design to carefully frame all views toward the creek and the wildlife it spawned. The house, in turn, is conceived as a habitable garden pavilion.

Under our guidance, local craftsmen were involved in designing the loose furniture, creating a sense of authenticity.

Bedrooms on the ground floor have direct access to the gardens while the second-floor bedrooms offer spectacular views of the forest canopy and its wildlife. Carefully placed planter boxes and vegetation in and around the house generate an experience of privacy that bridges the best of both worlds: closeness to everything and solitude in the forest.

Under our guidance, local craftsmen were involved in designing the loose furniture, creating a sense of authenticity. Comfort and durability of all furniture and finishes were essential, both to accommodate the family’s vacations and serve those who rented the property throughout the rest of the year.

This house is a clear reflection of our clients’ personalities and their desire to create a clean beach-like feel so the colors, textures, and materials chosen were light and soft. This approach gave us the opportunity to implement a modern interior design that is both authentic and rooted in the past as well.
