Set in the rainforest of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, two modern homes project out of the landscape and are defined by a series of steel frames that bring the best modern methods of construction to a tropical location. The use of large steel I-beams and concrete is a tenet of the international language of Modernist architecture and Studio Saxe have taken this design approach and recontextualised it for contemporary use. As a sustainable architecture firm rooted in Costa Rica, Studio Saxe is committed to a search for authentic Central American tropical architecture.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-39435 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/joya_villas_house_2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Joya Villas Maleku by Studio Saxe Architecture in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-39437\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/joya_villas_house_2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/joya_villas_house_2-300x188.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/joya_villas_house_2-768x480.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sohomod.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/joya_villas_house_2-750x469.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" data-full-width=\"800\" data-full-height=\"500\" \/>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-2-39437'>\n\t\t\t\tJoya Villas Maleku by Studio Saxe Architecture in Santa Teresa, Costa Rica\n\t\t\t\t<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The raw materials of steel and concrete are balanced with the careful use of crafted wooden screens and floors, to ensure the design of these rental properties is rooted in local traditions and building techniques.

A delicate timber staircase appears to float from one floor to the other, suspended by the finest steel cables. The town of Santa Teresa on the pacific coast of Costa Rica has become a multicultural hub, renowned for its large waves and untouched nature. Joya Villas is situated on a hilltop, with its main terrace directly overlooking one of the best surfing breaks in the region.

These ingredients are then brought to life through the careful balance of modern building techniques and touches of handcrafted natural materials. Everything we do at Studio Saxe is focused on trying to enhance the experience of the natural in the inhabitant of spaces and perhaps even create moments of relaxation and reflection. This train of thought and the architecture that is emerging could begin to be considered as the birth of an authentic Central American Tropical Architecture.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-5'
