Black Pearl House, Nosara, Costa Rica

哥斯大黎加諾薩拉 黑珍珠之家

QBO3 ARCHITECTS

Located in the town of Cerro de San Juan in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, the house is surrounded by lush vegetation and offers breathtaking views of the sea. The architectural design captures the unique qualities of the area and maximizes the sea views from each of its spaces. Upon entering the house, one can feel the connection with its natural surroundings. Black Pearl House is a wonderful example of how modern architecture can harmoniously blend with the tropical environment. The design team focused on highlighting the purity of form through the use of rationalist features such as right angles and precise decompositions, creating visuals that integrate with the natural environment's highlights. The goal was to reinterpret the tropical lifestyle of the area, using streamlined and contemporary lines that blend the interior spaces with the landscape.

 

該案位於哥斯大黎加諾薩拉,周圍植被繁茂,坐擁壯麗海景。整體採用理性主義特徵,如極簡線條、直角設計和精細解構等,以純粹的形式融合建築與周遭環境,使居者入室後亦能感受到與大自然的連結。本案旨在藉由現代手法重新詮釋該地區生活型態,成為現代建築與熱帶環境結合的最佳範例。

Local materials were employed in this project to achieve harmonious integration between architecture and the surrounding nature, without altering the natural aesthetics of the environment—the selection of these materials allowed for the seamless integration of nature and architecture in the environment without distortions. The access to the house through a natural stone path underlines the permeability of nature and its fusion with the building, achieving a harmonious and complementary relationship between architecture and nature. Black Pearl is designed to foster the well-being and connection of its inhabitants with the natural environment. The architectural design is based on a solid foundation and an innovative vision to efficiently integrate nature and architecture. The terrace, with a double height, is a space where residents can enjoy an unparalleled view of the sea and the surrounding natural environment.

 

The combination of solid walls and wide horizontal and vertical openings characterize the design of this house. The careful application of innovative micro-cement techniques, along with the elegant and subtle use of metal and glass, results in a harmonious fusion of materials and textures that bring a modern and tropical feel to the structure. The terrace is designed to be a place where residents can relax and enjoy the connection with nature, promoting their physical and mental well-being. Its structure is intended to seamlessly integrate with the natural environment, creating a sense of spaciousness and freshness. The architectural details of the terrace add to the pleasant experience of relaxation and connection with nature.

 

This project is a contemporary tropical oasis that exceptionally combines modern architecture and nature. From its location to its architectural design and material selection, everything was focused on achieving sustainable integration with the natural environment and promoting the well-being of its inhabitants. It is an outstanding example of how architecture can harmoniously and respectfully blend with nature.

 

團隊選擇使用當地材料,並以天然石子步道作為通往居所的路徑,目的是保留自然美感的同時,達成房屋與環境間的美學平衡。透過水平與垂直的金屬格柵、創新微水泥技術,以及玻璃窗戶,三種帶有相異紋理的材質彼此融合,營造現代住宅和自然叢林共存之融合氛圍。本項目寬敞的雙層挑高露臺亦提供居者一處放鬆身心、享受自然的觀景空間。綜觀整體,此項目無論是選址、設計或材料,皆強調房屋與自然相容的永續性,促進居住福祉。
