Casa Vidrio

Tucked at the end of a quiet cul-de-sac in Playa Pelada, Casa Vidrio is a visionary jungle retreat by the award-winning firm Studio Saxe. Designed to immerse its inhabitants in nature, this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom steel-frame residence blends contemporary architecture with sustainable living on a secluded ⅓-acre triangular lot.

Bordering the protected conservation lands of the Nosara Civic Association, Casa Vidrio offers unparalleled privacy and a deep connection to the surrounding jungle. From your doorstep, scenic paths guide you through lush trails to Playa Pelada and North Playa Guiones—ideal for tide pool adventures, morning surfs, or sunset strolls.

At the heart of the home lies a dramatic triple-height glass atrium that draws the sky and canopy into the living space. In a bold reimagining of traditional design, the residence is seamlessly integrated into the natural terrain, creating a striking sense of verticality and spatial drama. Two elevated bedrooms and a yoga deck float above the jungle floor, while the lower level hosts an open-concept living area that blurs the line between indoors and out. A third bedroom, thoughtfully positioned near the pool, offers added privacy for guests.

The home’s structure pairs prefabricated steel I-beams with handcrafted teak woodwork, achieving a balance of durability and artisanal elegance. The construction method minimized on-site impact, while every design choice prioritized sustainability—from passive cooling and cross-ventilation to the use of certified reforested teak and an overall low environmental footprint.

With 340m² (3,660 ft²) of inspired indoor-outdoor living and direct access to Nosara’s most cherished beaches, jungle trails, La Luna restaurant, and community amenities, Casa Vidrio is a sanctuary where modern architecture, ecological sensitivity, and jungle living converge in perfect harmony.
