Portas Novas – oceanfront paradise by Victor Cañas architects
Victor Cañas architects have created amazing work of art in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. Portas Novas, which means New Gates, is a stunning piece of architecture, perched on a vast ledge facing the Pacific Ocean. As you may have already guessed, the view is incredible and the architects had that in mind. Made by concrete, steel and lots of glass, to the west Portas Novas reveals a clear, beautiful, near 180° panorama of the ocean, and to the east there is not so vast, but still great view to the mountainside. The ground-level water mirror on the western side seems to merge into the ocean, creating even more spectacular scene. Wish you were there, don’t you?
