Villa Áurea lands on a Tamarindo, Costa Rica hillside with a broad, curving roof and pavilion rooms tuned to the breeze. Designed by Studio Saxe, the house leans into the site’s slope and the coastal climate, using shaded terraces and cross-ventilating corridors to keep interiors cool. It reads relaxed but deliberate, a family home shaped by ocean air and grounded construction.
Embedded within a lush tropical forest in São Paulo, Brazil, the Toque Toque House by Nitsche Arquitetos blends privacy with nature. Designed in 2022, this summer residence features a laminated timber structure elevated on a concrete basement to navigate the steep slope. The design prioritizes flexibility, offering panoramic views of the Atlantic Ocean from the upper elevation among the treetops.
