Concrete swimming pool protrudes from Art Villa holiday home in Costa Rican jungle

Art Villa is part of the Art Villas resort in Playa Hermosa, an extensive property that comprises rentable houses, including a residence with a green roof and a multifunctional pavilion.

Refuel Works, led by Jan Skoupý and Zbyněk Ryška, worked with architecture firm Formafatal to complete the 570-square-metre rentable residence.

Two horizontal concrete slabs form the structure’s flat roof and wraparound terrace. A massive concrete block that contains the property’s swimming pool protrudes from the house extending over the sloping site.

Each of the faces is fronted with large glass doors that open to a wood deck that wraps the villa. All of the concrete walls were left in their original state to enhance the other natural elements used in the design, such as plants and water.
