Built entirely of teak wood harvested on-site, this stunning retreat is
inspired by the jungle of this densely forested site on the Pacific
Coast of Costa Rica. Designed by American firm Olson Kundig Architects,
the three-storey treehouse is built with local teak wood, slatted walls
and columns made of tree trunks. Envisioned as a surfer hut, the Costa
Rica Treehouse is nestled within a dense jungle near Playa Hermosa beach
where the owners can enjoy their passion of surfing. The ground level
merges with the forest floor, and also connects to a concrete swimming
pool that rises up from the sloped site, there is also an open-plan
kitchen and dining area, along with storage space. The middle level
features a bedroom, bathroom and additional storage and is nestled
within the trees. The top level houses a living room and bathroom. This
level is lifted above the forest canopy, enabling views of the jungle
and ocean.
