Casa del Sol

Casa del Sol is a contemporary retreat that finds its rhythm in the tension between the canopy and the sea. Designed as a retirement oasis, the architecture prioritizes clean, honest lines that frame the Cañas Beach horizon without competing with it. The structure is a dialogue of levels: a private master ensuite sanctuary occupies the upper floor as a quiet perch, while the social heart opens entirely to the landscape, allowing the boundary between the living room and the infinity pool to dissolve.

Resilience and sophistication define the material palette. We balanced the warmth of tropical timber with salt-resistant finishes and honed surfaces to ensure the home thrives in its coastal environment. Beyond a personal sanctuary, the project includes a separate guest studio that mirrors the main house’s DNA, offering high-end rental potential. This is an investment in both lifestyle and legacy — a home that feels contemporary yet profoundly "at home" in the tropics.
