The Balcony House by LSD Architects

THE SLOPED TOPOGRAPHY OF THIS SITE SERVED AS AN INSPIRATION FOR THE MAIN CONCEPT OF THE HOUSE, GENERATING DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVES AND REALITIES IN A SAME BUILDING. ALL SPACES HAVE A VIEW OF TAMARINDO BAY. THERE IS A TRIPLE-HEIGHT SPACE THAT JOINS ALL THE SPACES AND A BRIDGE THAT CONNECTS TO THE ROOMS. THE FIRST FLOOR COMMON AREAS OF THE HOUSE HAVE A NATURAL CONCRETE FINISH THAT GROUNDS THE STRUCTURE TO THE TOPOGRAPHY AND DEFINES TWO MAIN LEVELS THAT SPLIT THE HOUSE IN TWO OVERLAPPING SPACES. THE SECOND LEVEL LIGHT METAL STRUCTURE AND SIDING EXTERIOR FINISH RESEMBLE THE NATURAL WOODEN MATERIALITY, CREATING A RELATIONSHIP WITH THE CANOPIES OF THE TREES. THE FIRST FLOOR SHOWS A MORE SOLID BASE THAN THE LIGHTER SECOND WOODEN FLOOR.
