MONTE 11 RESIDENCE

Private Residence, Costa Rica

Exclusively selected to design of this private cliff-top community overlooking Playa Hermosa and the Pacific Ocean, Stinson uses the international language of modern architecture to tell a story of Costa Rica and environmental conservation. With utmost respect for land and view, his trademark modern aesthetic unites the neighborhood of eleven homes and emphasizes the native style of inside-outside living. Varying in size and palette of local, sustainable materials, all are designed to follow the natural topography toward the ocean. Each features an infinity pool, uniquely sited to receive ocean breezes across the water and deliver cooled air indoors. Three dwellings have been completed and a fourth is under construction.
