Costa Rica Beachfront Home Inspires a Writer and Modern Architecture Lovers
Built using traditional techniques with a modern slant on architecture, Gianni Botsford of GB Architects built this spectacular beachfront home for his father, a writer with an eclectic taste for fine details and finishes. The contemporary house in Cahuita, Costa Rica, boasts no vertical walls to uphold its prominent roof, creating a unique silhouette among the trees. Beneath the roof, the main living space is a large library housing one floor-to-ceiling wall of built-in bookshelves and another of glass. Books, a writing desk and a grand piano fill this inspiring space. An outdoor walkway leads into another pavilion that houses the sleeping and bathing quarters. GB Architects via Arch Daily
