In the beginning of 2020, StudioOctava has been commissioned to plan a house in Costa Rica that is like no other. The marquise house is the first curved timber roof building in Costa Rica and was designed to be part of the natural landscape, with walls mimicking the environment and framing some fantastic ocean views. Designed to be family home but also a potential rental home, this house features four bedrooms, three bathrooms, one kitchens and floor-to-ceiling windows throughout. Its curved & pitched timber roof provides a comfortable climate inside the building while being open to the sky above it in the same time.
Task
Architectural design, permissions & construction of a home for up to 8 people. The design should be a combination with a traditional "Bali-Style" feel and Studio Octavas signature curves. The house should have 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a large open space kitchen, dinging & living area. The exterior should feature a large recreational area with a organic pool design.
