The base’s volume, with its green balconies, open footbridges, big openings and its horizontal proportions are part of the urban landscape of one of the most dynamic neighborhoods in São Paulo.

This project is the very first “rammed earth” implementation in Costa Rica. Two minimalist-shaped villas designed for short-term rent partially levitate above the edge of a steep hill of the overgrown jungle and bring endless views of the Pacific Ocean. Both villas were designed with respect to sustainability and the surrounding wild environment.
