Raintree House

Raintree House is a private home at Nosara, in Costa Rica, designed by the architecture practice Studio Saxe. Nestled in the heart of the tropical jungle and overlooking the Pacific, the house embodies a perfect harmony between contemporary design and respect for the environment. The architects took care to preserve all the existing vegetation, setting the structure within the lush canopy. Kebony wood was chosen for the exterior cladding, offering exceptional durability and a natural appearance that blends into the surrounding landscape. The bioclimatic design of the house ensures natural ventilation and optimal energy efficiency, while creating open living spaces that encourage a constant connection with nature. Raintree House is a remarkable example of sustainable architecture, combining ecological materials with a sensitive response to the site.
