海洋景观和真实的丛林体验融合在一起，创造了一个现代设计的圣地，用当地的天然材料精心制作。
Ocean views and an authentic jungle experience merge to create a sanctuary of contemporary design, crafted with natural local materials.
概念 – 我们的国际客户来到哥斯达黎加，意图创造一个更可持续的生活方式的例子，重点是通过与自然的联系来获得幸福感。”我们想要一个感觉一直在那里的家，被树冠拥抱，与丛林共舞”。- 客户
从一开始，我们的共同愿景是探索将建筑与周围的丛林融为一体的可能性，保留每一棵树，增加栖息地；同时也捕捉到海洋和日落的框架景观。设计的框架是围绕着一系列的沉思时刻展开的，它平衡了大自然的粗糙和现代舒适的好处。
Concept – Our international clients came to Costa Rica with the intent of creating an example of a more sustainable way of life, with a focus on well-being through connections to nature. “We wanted a home that felt like it had always been there, hugged by the canopy, dancing with the jungle.” – The client
From the very beginning, our common vision was to explore the possibility of blending the architecture with its jungle surrounding, keeping every single tree and adding to the habitat; while also capturing a framed view of the ocean and sunset. The framework for the design is based around a series of moments of contemplation, which balance the roughness of nature with the benefits of modern comfort.
设计–在山顶的一片空地上，我们种植了一个坚固的地基和杂技结构，这样房子的其余部分就可以漂浮在丛林上，不需要额外的支持。主要的生活区以及主卧室被安置在二楼，在这里可以更强烈地感受到丛林树冠的体验，同时也可以通过精心设计的视图捕捉到海洋和日落。 一个既不在外面也不在里面的楼梯和循环，鼓励居民在房子里蜿蜒而行时始终与自然保持联系。萨克斯建筑公司与萨克斯室内设计公司的整合使该团队能够在材料的精确选择上进行合作，以创造一种受自然启发的设计整体感。焦木、柚木、手工液压瓦、编织灯等等，为整个设计带来了当地工艺的感觉。房子的设计考虑到了耐用性，因为它不仅可以作为客户的家，还可以作为出租物业。
Design – Within a clearing on the crest of a hill, we planted a strong foundation and acrobatic structure so that the rest of the house could float over the jungle with no extra support. The main living areas as well as the master bedroom were placed on the second floor, where the experience of the jungle canopy is felt more intensely and also where the ocean and sunsets are captured through meticulously framed views. A stair and circulation that is neither outside nor inside encourage the inhabitants to always be connected to nature as they meander around the house. The integration of Saxe Architecture with Saxe Interiors allowed the team to collaborate on the precise choice of materials to create a sense of wholeness of design inspired by nature. Burnt wood, teak, hand-made hydraulic tiles, woven lamps, and many more bring a sense of local craft to the entire design. The house was designed with durability in mind as it will serve not only as the client’s home but also as a rental property.
可持续性–生物气候学原则指导了房屋的设计。一个非常大的屋顶 “伞 “非常引人注目地延伸出来，将整个生活空间包裹起来，在结构和丛林之间创造了一个生态系统。在这样的热带环境中，设计需要适应绿色季节的强降雨和干燥季节的强热。水被收集并循环用于灌溉和再利用。太阳能电池板产生房屋的部分能量，材料保持粗糙，以承受热带环境，而不需要经常维护。总的来说，古代和当地的技术与技术相结合，创造了一个既扎根于过去又着眼于未来的可持续设计。
Sustainability – Bioclimatic principles guided the design of the house. A very large roof “umbrella” extends out very dramatically and encapsulates the entire living space, creating an ecosystem between the structure and the jungle. In a tropical setting, like this, designs need to adapt to strong rains during the green season and intense heat during the dry season. Water is captured and recycled for irrigation and reuse. Solar panels generate part of the energy of the house and materials are kept rough in order to withstand the tropical environment without constant maintenance. Overall ancient and local techniques are combined with technology to create a sustainable design that is both rooted in the past and looking to the future.
建筑 – 在山顶创建了一个强大的混凝土基础基地，不对称地允许主要的预制钢构件悬挑在山顶和丛林之上。防震结构设计借用工业化的施工方法，通过对材料和覆层的精心布置，重新发明了一种家庭式的温暖触感。当代建筑技术的速度和耐用性与当地技术的结合，创造了一种独特的建筑表达方式，将现代美学与当地的纹理和工艺印记相结合。这使我们能够创造出一种诚实的建筑语言，并反映出在国际标准下理解当地能力的真正独特过程。
Construction – A strong concrete foundation base was created at the top of the hill asymmetrically allowing the main prefabricated steel elements to cantilever over the hill and above the jungle. Seismic-proof structural design borrowing industrial construction methods were reinvented to give a domestic warm touch, through the careful placement of materials and cladding. The result of combining contemporary building techniques, for speed and durability, with local know-how creates a unique expression of architecture that marries a modern aesthetic with a local imprint of textures and craftsmanship. This allowed us to create a language of architecture that is honest and reflects a true distinct process of understanding local capabilities within international standards.
