Costa Palmas, located on the east cape of Los Cabos, Mexico, is home to an array of luxury residential homes. The home of developer Jason Grosfeld and his wife, fine jewelry designer Jenna Blake Grosfeld, was one of the first homes built on the property.
Brendan Guerin, a founder of Guerin Glass Architects says that the plans for the home took inspiration from midcentury Brazilian architecture.The lush and tropical environment surrounding the property was given careful consideration in the home’s architecture and design, lending a cohesion and harmony to both the interior and exterior.The end result is a crisp yet vibrant home brimming with unique pieces, sleek accents, and special touches, nestled harmoniously on the ocean.
As collectors, the Grosfelds brought many pieces into the home that they’ve collected over years of traveling. Vintage pieces, unique artisan finds, and specialty items can be found throughout the home, along with an expansive collection of pottery curated by Jenna herself.
One rather avant-garde theme peppered around the house is the inclusion of birds. From a large Sergio Bustamante sculpted parrot hanging over the table in the living room to three tall sculpted flamingos in the primary bedroom, birds recur in the design, helping to blur the line between nature and the interior.
Throughout the home, the design elements are present in an interesting and layered fashion, giving each room depth and allure. To fully appreciate the layers, one must patiently lean into the design—there is no soaking it all in from one sweeping glance.
This is a house that tells a story, and it incorporates pieces from all over the globe that add their own unique voices to the chorus of the design. Beautiful vintage tapestries are framed and used as artwork in many rooms, and vivid color is juxtaposed with elegant textures throughout.
