#Repost @dwellmagazine This Costa Rican home, sitting on a forested, remote plot two hours from San José, was designed with spiritual transcendence in mind—along with off-grid sustainability. When architect María de la Paz Alice of @mazpazz_arquitectura first saw the site in the mountains of Palmichal de Acosta, she was skeptical due to its inaccessibility. Luckily for the client—a film producer and ocean conservationist who dreamed of a place where she could disconnect—Alice was game to take on the project. The home is called Casa Salvaje, or Wild House, an entirely autonomous and self-sustaining stone-and-concrete home that uses geometric openings to frame its tranquil surroundings. Teaming up with interior designer Ileana Guerrero—who worked with local artisans to craft custom furnishings for the living spaces—and landscape designer Jorge Salgado, the project is a breathtaking example of architecture that connects to the earth. The home’s entrance, which the architect refers to as “the vortex,” takes the form of a concrete cube with two prominent circular openings. Crystals encrusted in the floor capture and reflect the light that passes through the overhead oculus from the sun and moon. “As you walk in, the circular window framing the mountain view is the focal point, and the sky window above immediately connects you to your surroundings,” says the architect. "In every project, I try to provide at least one space that promotes a transcendental experience. I strive to create spaces that will benefit and expand people emotionally and spiritually, just as much as they do aesthetically." Take a walk through the inspiring escape at the link in our bio. – Photos by @garcialachner Story by @desert.ren Window Installation by @grupovental #moderndesign #modernarchitecture #interiordesign #interiorarchitecture #costarica #costaricanarchitecture #palmichaldeacosta #sustainabledesign #greenliving #offgrid #offgridarchitecture #concrete #cabinporn #moderncabin #offgridcabin #environmentaldesign #interiorstyling #interiorinspiration #architecturephotography #architectureinspiration https://www.instagram.com/p/CfzgxBaLHVH/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
