Perched dramatically above the vibrant coastal town of Playas del Coco, Casa Holmes—locally known as “The Glass House”—is a truly iconic residence where award-winning architecture meets the raw beauty of Costa Rica’s natural landscape.
Recognized internationally for its design excellence, this home is not simply built on the land—it is sculpted into it, anchored by a massive natural rock formation that flows seamlessly through the structure, creating a one-of-a-kind living experience.
Architectural Masterpiece – Where Nature and Design Converge
Designed by a renowned landscape architect, Casa Holmes is a study in site-responsive modernism:
• Expansive glass walls and sliding panels frame panoramic views of Playas del Coco Bay and surrounding forest
• A striking natural rock formation integrated into the home’s core structure
• Floating rooflines and exposed concrete elements create a sense of lightness and openness
• Seamless transitions between interior living spaces and outdoor terraces
Every detail was conceived to create a constant dialogue between ocean, jungle, and architecture—resulting in a home that feels both sophisticated and deeply connected to nature.
Sophisticated Layout with Flexibility & Privacy
The home’s thoughtful design offers both luxury living and income potential:
• Main Level:
o Private primary suite accessed via a dramatic bridge over a tranquil water feature
o Open-concept kitchen, living, and dining areas
o Two additional bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms
• Lower Level:
o Two independent guest suites with private entrances
o Ideal for vacation rental income, extended family, or guest privacy
This configuration makes Casa Holmes equally suited as a private residence, luxury retreat, or high-end rental property.
