A Sustainable Retreat in Playa Guiones

Situated in Playa Guiones, Nosara, Costa Rica, Casas Surf is a private residence embodying sustainable design principles with modern elegance. Spanning two levels, this 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom home also features a pool, a spacious social area and terrace, all thoughtfully designed to blend with the surrounding landscape. Drawing inspiration from sustainable living, the architecture emphasizes cross-ventilation and strategic views of the lush garden. Natural hanging planters bring an organic warmth, while the layout respects the site’s steep topography. Native trees are preserved to create a natural boundary between the main house and parking area, enhancing privacy and integrating the residence with its natural surroundings. The open-plan design allows the social areas direct access to a large terrace, seamlessly connecting indoor and outdoor living spaces. The terrace, adjacent to the pool, is a welcoming oasis for relaxation, offering views of the garden. Constructed on a challenging hillside with limited flat space, Casas Surf showcases a skillful layout that makes the most of the terrain. The design integrates energy and water conservation measures and retains as much of the native vegetation as possible, underscoring a commitment to environmental stewardship. This residence is not only a refined coastal retreat but also a model of harmonious, sustainable design.
