This Modern House In Costa Rica Sits Under A Dramatic Large Angled Roof

Cañas Arquitectos have designed this modern house with a sloped flat roof, that’s located in the Papagayo peninsula in Costa Rica, and is surrounded by forest.

The house, designed to enjoy the views, has an infinity edge pool and a walkway that leads out to a deck that extends away from the house.

The pool that merges with a terrace that surrounds an outside living room in its entirety, making the covered outdoor space like an island.

A large ‘stepping stone’ provides access to the lounge that sits directly below the master bedroom. Off to the side of the lounge is a hot tub.

Stepping inside, the interior opens up to a double-height ceiling. Large sliding glass doors open up to the outdoor space and provide ample light to the living, dining and kitchen areas.

The main living space is open plan, with the living room at one end. The floor-to-ceiling glass walls ensure that the view can always be enjoyed, and the single orange armchair ties in with the orange paint and stools used in the kitchen.

The kitchen has minimal cabinets, with the island home to the oven and cooktop. A bright orange wall adds a pop of color to the space.

Upstairs, there’s a bathroom with floor-to-ceiling glass walls that provide a view of the forest outside.
