About Casa Aqua
Welcome to Casa Aqua, a Havana retreat crafted by Vanguarda Arquitectos. This modern abode in Cuba blends nature with cutting-edge architecture, offering a refreshing approach to contemporary living.
A Symmetry of Elements
Casa Aqua welcomes with a striking facade where concrete and glass merge into a clean, modern silhouette against the Havana backdrop. The pool, a clear, still body, mirrors the sky as loungers beckon for a moment of rest.
Transitioning inside, the living room stands as the heart of Casa Aqua. Expansive and bathed in natural light, it bridges the outdoors with the interior through towering windows. The space is an open canvas, with a large sofa facing a sleek, stone-clad fireplace, inviting intimate gatherings and relaxed solitude.
Culinary Clarity
Adjacent to the living area, the kitchen is a testament to modern functionality. High-gloss cabinetry and state-of-the-art appliances exude sophistication, while a skylight pours daylight onto the surfaces below, enhancing the clean, uncluttered aesthetic.
Beyond the kitchen, the dining space extends the narrative of simplicity and light. A large table awaits family meals, bordered by full-height windows that provide a view of the tranquil exterior.
Ascending to Serenity
The sculptural staircase leads upwards, its glass railings ensuring a visual connection with the lower level. Upstairs, private quarters offer respite. The bedrooms, minimal in decor and generous in space, serve as serene sanctuaries where the hustle of the city seems a world away.
Casa Aqua, completed in 2023 by Vanguarda Arquitectos, epitomizes modern real estate in Havana, offering a serene, yet distinctly modern, living experience. With each space purposefully flowing into the next, the house is not just a structure, but a home that embodies the spirit of its locale.
