CASA FRANK

Casa Frank is a thoughtfully designed residential project nestled just meters from the Pacific coastline in Venao, Pedasí, an emerging beach community experiencing significant growth in tourism.

The residence is set on a gently sloping site enriched by mature shade trees, creating a serene natural environment. Positioned to the west, the property borders a national road, posing the challenge of mitigating noise from passing trucks. The architectural response was to orient the house towards the southeast, embracing the landscape, while closing off the northwest side to maintain tranquility.

The main house is defined by a two-story structure where strategic level changes articulate the hierarchy and function of the spaces. The social areas, which serve as the project’s focal point, are designed to foster connection and enjoyment among family and friends. The architecture is characterized by its clean lines and the use of fundamental materials like concrete and wood, which together ensure both the functionality of the space and the longevity of the structure.

Custom-designed concrete furniture is integrated throughout, providing durable, low-maintenance elements that complement and elevate the interior architecture
