Not far from Costa Rican town Uvita – there is a hidden small resort Art Villas on the jungle hill above the beach Playa Hermosa. The main architect of the whole resort and the author of Atelier Villa is the Formafatal studio headed by Dagmar Štěpánová, the idea was to create a place where the visitor will not only have the magnificent look over the Costa Rican surrounding nature but to be able to fully merge with it experiencing luxury at the same time.
The priority is not only the idea of “erasing boundaries between interior and exterior” but also highlighting constructional simplicity and pure lines (Pura Vida >> Pura Arquitectura). The concept of the house is very open, erasing the boundaries between the inside and the outside world, and discreet wall colors in combination with the green roof allow the villa to really blend in with its surroundings.
Behold the vast, monolithic structure. Cool, concrete walls stand naked and confident inside the heart of the jungle. Expansive glass walls, jungle wood, and brave dimensions ignite, absorb, and reflect the raw elements of nature. Hand-painted walls capture the dynamic nature of water and mirror the surrounding tropical forest.
This is the place that digs deep into everyone’s heart when they taste it.
