Casa Libertad is a house in Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, designed by Salagnac Arquitectos in 2018 for a young family of six. Set on the hills of Nosara with forest around it and ocean views beyond, the home is organized around open living, swing louver windows, and steady cross-ventilation. Masonry walls, wood elements, local stone, gardens, and fruit trees keep daily life closely tied to the site.

Casa Toro, designed by Estudio Carroll in 2023, stands as a beacon of sustainable architecture in Oaxaca City, Mexico. This innovative house, spanning approximately 250 m² (about 2690 ft²), seamlessly blends with its coastal surroundings, promoting energy-efficient living without sacrificing luxury. Through the use of local materials and thoughtful design, Casa Toro offers a unique living experience that harmoniously connects its residents with nature.
