About Villa Elu and Villa Nalani
Nestled on the picturesque hillside of Puntarenas, Costa Rica, two stunning structures emerge—Villa Nalani and Villa Elu. Designed by Instinto Estudio in 2024, these houses seamlessly blend modern elegance with the breathtaking natural beauty of the surrounding environment.
Harmonizing with Nature
Perched above the alluring Playa Hermosa, these villas showcase a design ethos that prioritizes the harmonious integration of architecture and nature. Crafted with glass, honey-colored wood, and wide-open spaces, the structures reflect the golden sands and rolling waves that characterize the captivating coastal backdrop.
Bespoke Integration
Instinto Estudio’s architects carefully considered the unique features of the terrain to create structures tailored to their specific location. From the sun’s path and wind patterns to the particularities of the mountainous landscape, every design element was meticulously planned to ensure the villas seamlessly blended into the lush tropical setting.
Sustainable Sanctuary
The grandiose roofs of Villa Nalani and Villa Elu not only offer protection from the elements but also serve as a sanctuary for an entire ecosystem. By breaking down the mass under each roof, the architects enabled controlled natural light and the enjoyment of both sunrise and sunset, while also providing shelter from the daytime heat.
Embracing Local Identity
Committed to sustainability and fostering a connection with the community, Instinto Estudio opted for locally sourced materials. This approach not only reduced the environmental impact but also allowed the villas to integrate seamlessly into the vibrant culture of the region.
A Captivating Blend
Villa Nalani and Villa Elu are not mere additions to the area; they are the embodiment of Santa Teresa’s allure. Designed to blend into the jungle and withstand the mountainous terrain, these structures offer a captivating fusion of modern comfort and the rugged charm of the external environment.
