A Tropical Modern home in Santa Teresa | Jungla House

Discover Jungla House, a breathtaking modern home nestled in the tropical forest of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica. Designed by FAMM Arquitectura, this stunning residence blends contemporary architecture with the natural beauty of the jungle, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living.

Perched above rugged terrain, Jungla House appears to float at the height of the treetops. With floor-to-ceiling glass doors, open-concept living spaces, and an elevated pool surrounded by lush greenery, the house offers an immersive experience in nature. Local stone, wood, and concrete come together to form a tropical sanctuary that feels both grounded and elevated.

Spread across three levels, the home features open social areas, secondary bedrooms with full access to outdoor views, and a newly added upper level with a luxurious master suite, private balcony, and panoramic forest views. On the lowest level, an additional lounge, garden access, and an independent studio offer privacy and flexible space for family or guests.

Jungla House is a perfect example of sustainable tropical modernism—where architecture responds to climate, topography, and natural light to create a calm and inspiring retreat.

  • Burnt Cedar

    This is a full-time beach house for a car passionate family of four situated across from Burnt Cedar Beach in Incline Village, Nevada on the north shore of Lake Tahoe. Prior to being pulled up the hill to flumes and rails destined for Virginia City, logs were staged here as the mountains around the lake shore were logged during the silver mining years of the 1860s. Set into a neighborhood originally built in the 1950s and bordered by houses to the sides and rear, the house takes a simple box form, half buried into the slope. It faces the lake with full height glazing that encloses a loft-like plan with double height living spaces. The clients requested a space that felt like the landscape and maintained a feeling inside of being outside in the light and shadow play of the sixty to ninety-foot Jeffrey and Ponderosa pines that populate the lake shore.  Perforated wood ceilings and acoustical plaster walls soften the sounds of the concrete and glass pavilion-like house. An underground garage is excavated under the house with level access to the street, a must in this snowy climate for a family with an eclectic car collection.
