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.

  • Spring Road Residence

    This 7,000 sf house is nestled on a heavily wooded hilltop site in Ross, CA with breathtaking views of Mt. Tam and the San Francisco Bay over native California Oaks in one direction and the town of Ross through majestic old-growth redwoods in the other. The parti is a composition of simple volumes that maximizes a sense of openness to these views while maintaining privacy from neighbors and creating distinct zones within the property. Materials were carefully selected to strike a balance between a precise modernist language and the woodsy pastoral sensibility of this Northern California site. The volumes are clad in a terracotta rainscreen with rheinzink fascias. Custom aluminum doors and windows have extremely minimal sightlines. The landscape design was carefully considered to create different outdoor experiences to enhance the house. The floating master suite volume pushes out over the main living volume towards the canyon and views. The main dining kitchen area opens up to a lush lawn while the main living space steps down from a concrete plinth onto a wood floor that extends outdoors to a wood deck and anchored by a linear fire element. Guest rooms face the concrete terrace and look out over the mirror surface of an infinity edge lap pool hovering two inches above deck level. A fountain conceived as an 18″-high monolithic volume of water is visible from the entry and doubles as a spa. A home theater is located in the basement and a separate volume houses a gym area with a spa and an office for the owner’s business and his employees complete with its own private deck.
