Jungle Getaway of White Cubes with Lush Green Roofs
A very modern eco-luxury vacation villa set in the Costa Rica rainforest features a series of energy-conserving thick green roofs for natural cooling and lush velvety greens that contrast with the stark white of the walls.
Tierra is sited on the coast of a nation powered by virtually 100% clean renewable energy, making for a green destination.
Despite its stark modern lines, the house, set in lush rolling gardens in the eco-tourist haven, has an elegant old-world quality.
A design composed of many open cubes engineers it for superb natural ventilation. An assortment of outdoor rooms is open on all sides to the lush landscaping.
The house offers multiple outdoor entertaining areas that make a seamless transition from indoors to out.
The kitchen, living room and dining area meld into one another, and open onto the world on all sides.
The tranquility of the views are perfectly encapsulated by the simple clean lines of the interiors.
The rooftop garden is not just for the efficiency of a green roof, but is also accessible by walkway, for enjoyment of its lush greens.
Wish you could experience such an architectural treasure? This luxury (3 bedroom) villa can be rented for $600-$750 per night.
