Not far from Costa Rican town Uvita - there is a hidden small resort Art Villas on the jungle hill above the beach Playa Hermosa.  3 unique villas and one multifunctional pavilion are scattered over a plot of 2 ha. 

When the investor approached the architects, he wished to create a place where the visitors merge with the surrounding nature, clearing their mind, experiencing luxury and adventure at the same time. He wanted to create a place that digs deep into everyone's heart when they taste it. The architects from the Formafatal studio followed the client's assignment and were also inspired by the atmosphere and colorfulness of Central and South America.

Atelier Villa was designed as a private residence for the investor and his family. Nestled against a steep slope, the 26-meter-long prismatic object partially levitates over lush tropical vegetation. Looking outside, there is only the distant ocean or green hills as far as the eye can see; the back wall facing the driveway and the neighboring villas is intentionally windowless, to maintain privacy.

The layout of the house is very open; The interior is warm, with earthy tones from natural materials. The boundary between inside and outside is eliminated in the art house, and the whole space is like a roof terrace. Lightweight sliding partitions can be used as a tool to create private areas and change the space as needed. The terrace has an infinity pool, partially roofed to protect it from the sun.
