MAIN HOUSE NUMINA IS A RESIDENTIAL PROJECT IN BAHÍA BALLENA, PUNTARENAS, COSTA RICA. CURVED VOLUMES STEP ALONG THE HILLSIDE, CONNECTING INTERIOR SPACES, SHELTERED TERRACES AND GARDENS. GREEN ROOFS, OPEN-AIR CIRCULATION AND VIEWS TOWARD THE PACIFIC ESTABLISH A CONTINUOUS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THE HOUSE AND ITS LANDSCAPE.
CONCEPT
The project explores the relationship between dwelling and landscape through the regeneration of the property and the integration of architecture with nature. Conceived as a refuge, the house combines sheltered interiors with outdoor spaces that remain closely connected to vegetation and views.
Rounded volumes follow the changing levels of the terrain. Planted roofs and generous overhangs extend the relationship between building and garden, while openings above the stairs introduce daylight into the circulation spaces. Concrete surfaces and timber elements define a material palette that connects the different parts of the house.
PROGRAM
The residence distributes social, private and working spaces across interconnected levels. Living, dining and kitchen areas extend toward outdoor terraces and the pool, while bedrooms and offices occupy distinct volumes within the hillside composition.
Supporting spaces include a back kitchen, laundry, gym and bathrooms. Stairs and outdoor circulation connect the program, making movement through the house a sequence of sheltered spaces, gardens and views.
