Casa Ohana: A Jungle Sanctuary in Puerto Escondido




Embrace Nature's Embrace: Seclusion Meets Openness
A Harmonious Blend of Privacy and Exposure in a Tropical Setting
Nestled deep within the verdant jungle canopy of Puerto Escondido, Casa Ohana offers a singular living experience that masterfully navigates the interplay between intimate seclusion and expansive openness. The architectural vision behind this residence was to create spaces that feel both protected and connected to the rich biodiversity of its tropical environment. This careful calibration ensures that occupants can find solace and retreat within the home, while simultaneously being immersed in the sights, sounds, and scents of the surrounding wilderness. The result is a sanctuary where privacy is paramount, yet the vibrant life of the jungle remains an ever-present, integral part of daily existence.
Architectural Integration with the Jungle Landscape: Independent Volumes
The design philosophy of Casa Ohana is characterized by a series of independent volumes, each thoughtfully conceived to articulate a unique relationship with the encompassing landscape. This approach allows the residence to organically emerge from its setting, rather than imposing itself upon it. By breaking down the structure into distinct units, the architects have achieved a fluid integration that respects the natural topography and vegetation. These separate modules are interconnected through thoughtful pathways and transitional spaces, fostering a sense of discovery and exploration as one moves through the home. This modular design not only enhances the aesthetic appeal but also optimizes natural light, ventilation, and views, ensuring that every part of Casa Ohana feels deeply rooted in its spectacular jungle location.
