Studio Saxe Designs the Raintree House Retreat in Costa Rica
Amy Duong — December 27, 2022References: yankodesign &
Studio Saxe designs the new calming retreat dubbed the Raintree House found in the northwestern province of Guanacaste in Costa Rica. It is a modern sanctuary that overlooks beautiful views of the ocean and its jungle surroundings.
The design project was led by the studio's design principal Benjamin G Saxe with inspiration from the tall trees that surround the space. It was ideal that minimal damage was done to the home's natural surroundings and the home was built around the trees that were present first. It is elevated above the ground and seemingly does not even touch the land beneath. Notably, the house is built whilst catering to bioclimatic values to ensure that there is passive ventilation throughout the entire year.
