Second Wind House sits along the coast of Guanacaste Province, Costa Rica, where Salagnac Arquitectos shapes a restrained yet generous tropical house. Organized around a central social core and wide ocean views, the residence draws its character from natural textures, outdoor living, and a patient engagement with daily rituals at the edge of the sea.
Villa Zenith sits above the coastline in Las Huacas, Nosara, Costa Rica, as a house by Salagnac Arquitectos shaped for ocean views and breeze.

Clean lines, light tones, and natural textures anchor the indoor–outdoor rhythm.
Villa Ganymede is a house in Bali, Indonesia, by LUASA architects. The project pursues modern tropical living through deep roof overhangs, shaded terraces, and generous sliding doors that dissolve edges between rooms and garden. Inside, double-height volumes and floor-to-ceiling glass carry daylight across polished floors and quiet, open-plan arrangements, while outdoor rooms align with the pool and palms to extend daily routines into the breeze.
Villa Áurea lands on a Tamarindo, Costa Rica hillside with a broad, curving roof and pavilion rooms tuned to the breeze.

Built in 2024, it leans on durable construction and tactile finishes that favor breeze, light, and time together.
Salt Pan House stands on the edge of a salt pan in India, composed with quiet rigor by We Design Studio.
