Excerpt: Cohuatichan, designed by Cafeina Design, has an exuberant context that guided the design of this holiday residence extension. The house’s aesthetics and materials were kept light and clean in contrast to the breathtaking surroundings to foster a unique experience of outdoor living while being in the comfort of a contemporary structure.

Project Description

The exuberant context guided the design of this holiday residence extension. The integration of both interior and exterior programs was achieved through the use of a large sliding curtain wall on both levels intended to remain open while the house is in use. This allows the house to open up to the unique landscape, while also connecting the adjacent infinity swimming pool with the public living area on the lower level, and the master bedroom with an open hot tub, bathroom and terrace on the upper level.
