Casa Laguna

Set on a sloping site within a high-end gated community, Casa Laguna elegantly brings together contemporary architecture, functionality, and comfort.

The residence prioritizes accessibility and spatial flow, concentrating much of its program on a single level. The ground floor includes a covered garage with a lateral entrance, keeping the cars out of sight from the street, as well as a full support bathroom, staff quarters, storage, and a multifunctional space that can accommodate a gym, home office, cinema, bar, or a variety of other uses. The lateral vehicular access leads directly to the social and living areas, providing practicality in everyday life and when entertaining guests, while also allowing the car to park conveniently alongside the kitchen and pantry.

The main floor is defined by openness and integration. Upon entering through the pedestrian access, a more intimate TV room provides access to the veranda and views of the lagoon. At the transition between spaces, a powder room serves the indoor social areas. The dining room, wine cellar, and kitchen flow seamlessly into one another, creating a warm and integrated environment. Large openings draw the eye toward the rear of the site, where the garden and swimming pool become the protagonists of the house, strengthening its connection to the outdoors.

The spaces are organized by a fluid lateral circulation that ensures privacy for the intimate areas. An open shelving unit separates the corridor from the social area, adding lightness and allowing natural light to penetrate while also incorporating storage that can be used as a linen or tableware cabinet.

Following the same logic of the lateral circulation, the master suite opens directly toward a large opening overlooking the veranda and the lagoon beyond. The suite features a fully fitted walk-in closet with custom cabinetry and a vanity, as well as a bathroom with two showers, two sinks, and a soaking tub, in addition to a spacious bedroom.

The material palette reinforces the contemporary yet welcoming character of the residence, combining neutral tones in the flooring and cabinetry with natural wood ceilings, bronze details in the metalwork, and distinctive elements such as cobogó screens. Together, these elements create a sophisticated and timeless atmosphere.

At the rear of the site, facing the condominium’s protected natural area, the private garden houses the gourmet area. The space is fully equipped with a barbecue grill, countertops, beverage cooler, refrigerator, and cooktop. A full bathroom, with an outdoor washbasin, creates a transition between the gourmet area and the sauna, which is directly integrated with the swimming pool. The pool features a lap lane in its deeper section and a shallow sun shelf designed for loungers.
