This modern house located on a mountaintop in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, has completed construction in early 2011. The open plan layout provides for a flexibility of use from a private vacation home to a space for entertaining that sleeps up to 12 people. Located in a tropical rainforest, the house employs the use of deep overhangs, open clerestory windows and architectural wood slats to protect from the rain and provide for cross-ventilation while taking advantage of the harbor views below.

The house employs many sustainable building elements such as a water retention system, use of solar panels on the roof, natural ventilation, as well as 100% locally sourced building materials.
