Nalu
Studio Saxe has completed a boutique hotel and yoga studio set into the tropical landscape of Nosara, Costa Rica. The project is another in a long line of sustainable buildings from the practice that blend contemporary design with local craftsmanship, embracing the natural environment that surrounds and frames the architecture.
Nosara has become a destination for visitors from around the world for health, wellness and surfing and so the owners of Hotel Nalu-Nosara, Domel and Mariya Libid, wanted a design that reflects the attitude of their guests.

Binh Thanh House
Located in the center of Ho Chi Minh city in Vietnam, the house was designed for two families; a couple in their sixties and their son’s couple with a child.
The plot has a bilateral character. It is in a typical developing and urbanizing area in the city, facing to a noisy and dusty street. But it is also very close to the river and the Saigon Zoo with a plenty of greenery.

KAP-House
Reclined within a well-heeled residential enclave, KAP-House reposes behind wild grassland that grows from the remains of the old Malayan Railway. Placed on a plot that was once the sprawling garden of a classic colonial black and white bungalow, the home was imagined as a paradigm of modern tropical living.
The defunct railway, now a preserved green corridor, provides a backdrop of natural tropical terrain. Seeking to capitalise on the beauty of the home’s splendid surroundings, the design team adopted the Japanese design principle of Shakkei, or borrowed view. Their intention was to create a home resplendent in the “likeness of nature, capturing nature alive to create a spectacular vision”.
Fully attuned to the environment, KAP-Hou... Mais

Situated near important landmarks like the Presidential Bogor Palace and the famous Bogor Botanical Garden, one of the oldest and largest botanical garden in the world, Lemongrass’s design concept is derived from taking a closer look into Bogor.

House on a Stream
With a stream running through the house, this retreat in Alibag is delicately woven into the landscape, alternately opening up and closing itself to the different characteristics of the site. Though seasonal, the streambed allows for an interesting landscape feature throughout the year. A multitude of medicinal and fruit bearing trees provide for an intimate ambiance and comfortable microclimate. A short walk along the stream before entering the house domain builds up a sense of anticipation.

Williamson House
Casa Williamson, in the South Pacific of Costa Rica, intends to respond to the conditions of a tropical site, with spectacular views of the ocean. The “partí” is quite simple: elongated and narrow, as if wanting that the whole house be a window, easy to ventilate naturally and well protected from the sun and rains by extremely large roof overhangs, seeking to strongly express tropical architecture of the “here and now.” Its modern tropical design has a strong relationship with its location.
The formal or aesthetic expression is a direct result of the conditions and of our interpretations of place. We oppose large glass surfaces and flat roofs because they are anti tropical. Thus, the house is carefully punctured to frame the views and... Mais
