LSD architects gently hangs concrete casa vid e higurea over cliff in costa rica
Briefly

Casa Vid e Higurea, located on a cliff in Ostional, Guanacaste, features a design by LSD Architects that harmonizes with the landscape and minimizes ecological impact. The house takes advantage of its setting to create a single-level appearance, ensuring stunning ocean views. It is strategically designed to protect local turtle populations during nesting with thoughtful environmental measures, such as automatic curtains and rainwater collection systems. Additionally, the home incorporates sustainable materials and a photovoltaic energy system, balancing modern living with ecological responsibility.
The architectural concept by LSD Architects respects the land's natural contours, blending seamlessly with the topography to minimize environmental impact.
The house’s design ensures it does not interfere with the turtle nesting on Ostional beach, employing special lighting and non-reflective materials.
