AD I 28 House / KMA. Katia Marten Arquitectos

Located in a gated community next to Playa Marbella, Guanacaste; Casa AD was designed to welcome family and friends to enjoy life in a beautiful space that invites the stunning views of the tropical dry forest into the warmth of the home. The design accentuates the connection between architecture, nature, and people. The external areas play an important role where guests are immediately greeted by the main elements of design that inspire outdoor living. With Costa Rica's privileged warm climate and extraordinary biodiversity, outdoor areas are essential for connecting and enjoying the “pura vida” lifestyle. Casa AD’s architecture was created under a simple and elegant line. Its main concept was built upon three main pillars: privacy, the perfect fusion of architecture that connects with nature, and inviting the outside into the comfort of the interior spaces. Two main modules divide the social areas from the private ones, creating an "L"-shaped distribution that takes advantage of the geometry to create seclusion from the neighbors and public streets.
