LunaTica - Award Winning Pacific Oceanfront Luxury Villa in Manuel Antonio/Quepos

A Home as sensual as its setting - avant-garde minimalist architecture and prize-winning "Metropolitan Home of the Year".
Perched on a steep tropical hill-side above the Pacific Ocean, just minutes north of famous Manuel Antonio National Park, this stunning architectural gem showcases an inspired modern spin on Jungle Geometry:
The Villa's spine - 2 immense almond beams - is supported by a double row of massive columns that march through the tri-level "great room" to a panoramic window-wall, marking the increase in ceiling height from 14 - 24 feet, as the space steps down.
From the entrance porch, strikingly sculptured stairs either levitate to a lofty mezzanine and further up to the master suite and sun-deck above, or widen as they flow down to the kitchen/dining level and the living room below - always inviting to double as seating.
The vast floor-to-ceiling glass facade opens to a water-edged living terrace shaded by 3 smartly suspended sails, while high cedar doors attend the side-wing-suite on the right side of the living room level.
LunaTica was designed to be in tune with its tropical landscape - open to the sea-breezes, the scent of ylang ylang trees and the ever-changing light of its rainforest environment. Rooms extend onto expansive balconies, patios and hammock-strung terraces, while the magnificent teak-decked infinity pool is carved into the hillside and embedded in lush tropical vegetation - shimmering sea views from everywhere  -  Extreme Comfort Zones !

White walls and sand-colored polished cement floors are offset by playful splashes of color - sun-drenched orange, reds and fuchsia, black concrete kitchen counters and richly grained native woods.
A haven completely calm and serene contrasting the abundance of the jungle's greenery - boldly simple in its furnishings and always sophisticated in its fusion of honest materials and textures - concrete, steel, glass, slate, flagstone and plenty of local hard-woods.

Minimal in decor and yet rich in space, light, ideas and imagination.
