A contemporary cliffside residence in Nosara, Costa Rica, designed around structural precision, ocean views, and tropical indoor-outdoor living.
Casa 6 Playas is a high-exposure coastal residence in Nosara, Costa Rica, conceived as a refined contemporary home that balances dramatic landscape conditions with calm, livable architecture. Positioned on a steep ocean-facing site, the project is defined by clean structural logic, open panoramic glazing, and a strong relationship between interior space, terrace living, and the horizon beyond.
The design is shaped by the realities of a demanding marine environment. Structural precision, reinforced foundations, and corrosion-aware detailing are integral to the project’s execution, ensuring long-term durability without compromising the architectural clarity of the house. The result is a residence that feels open, light, and effortless, while responding seriously to site exposure, terrain, and climate.
Casa 6 Playas is designed as a structurally disciplined cliffside home where tropical modern living, ocean-facing openness, and long-term coastal durability are brought into balance.
Key Design Principles
-
Cliffside Structural Execution: The architecture is calibrated to a high-exposure coastal site requiring robust structural and foundation strategies.
-
Indoor-Outdoor Continuity: Living spaces extend directly to terraces, wellness zones, and the infinity-edge landscape.
-
Ocean-Facing Planning: The layout is oriented to maximise long views, light, and cross-ventilation.
-
Tropical Modern Restraint: Clean lines, warm natural materials, and controlled detailing shape a calm residential atmosphere.
-
Durability in Marine Conditions: Material and technical decisions are informed by corrosion risk, exposure, and long-term performance.
-
Wellness-Led Living: Water, outlook, and spatial openness support a relaxed, restorative residential experience.

Spatial Logic
The home is organised as a clear vertical and horizontal sequence: arrival, entry, and core living spaces are integrated into an open, view-oriented layout, while private rooms are positioned to maintain comfort, privacy, and connection to the landscape. The architecture uses transparency, overhangs, and framed edges to create a strong relationship between shelter and exposure.
Lifestyle Narrative
Casa 6 Playas is imagined as a home that slows the pace of daily life through openness, light, and proximity to the natural setting. Social spaces are designed to flow directly into the exterior, while the pool, wellness elements, and ocean-facing terraces turn the cliffside condition into a defining part of the residential experience.
Material & Atmosphere
The material language combines warm timber soffits, refined dark framing, large glazed openings, and durable coastal-ready finishes. Interiors are light, breathable, and contemporary, with a restrained palette that supports the landscape and ocean view rather than competing with them.
Casa 6 Playas demonstrates how a contemporary tropical residence can remain visually calm while responding rigorously to technical reality. It is not simply a view-driven house; it is a project where structure, exposure, durability, and livability are resolved together to create long-term architectural value.
Casa 6 Playas is currently under construction in Nosara, Costa Rica.
