Text description provided by the architects.Placed on a small terrace in the mountains of PlayaTamarindowith amazing ocean views, we found Wave House.This house was created with the intention of increasing the interaction of the interior and exterior space so that the user can truly experience life in the tropics.Steel columns support the roofs with just a few lower walls, creating very big openings to the views and bringing a lot of natural light into the spaces and the elongated shape of the house improves natural cross ventilation throughout the house.Four independent and very particular roofs, overlap on top of the social and private areas, unifying the program of the house and bringing a lot of light in between the roof, creating a unique space for the social areas.It was conceptualized as an elongated structure, positioned on an existent terrace, with two main volumes separated by an open but covered terrace, dividing Social from Private areas.The house was designed on multiple levels for better use of the existing terrace and sloped areas around it.
