ESCONDIDA
Pennisula Papagayo, Guanacaste, Costa Rica
Under Construction 2024
Escondida is defined and shaped by towering specimen trees, and the presence of the Pacific ocean—it is the intertwining
result of the preservation of those trees and the calibration of particularized views of the ocean from all the spaces
of the house. The overlapping house components descend toward the beach, twisting and turning as they adjust to tree
position. The raw power of cast-in-place concrete and the massive tree trunks juxtapose to the delicacy of the jungle
foliage in an entwining dance. The closer proximity to the water of the Escondida site allows a lower pool terrace to be
located just above the beach.
