Casa Esmeralda is a contemporary tropical residence of approximately 452 m2 (4,867 ft2) set on a wooded hillside lot in the Selvamar community of Nosara, Guanacaste. The design steps down the slope across multiple levels, pairing white stucco volumes and flat, deep-eaved roofs with wood-slat pergolas, full-height black-framed glazing, and glass-railed terraces that open the interiors to the surrounding forest. Architecture and engineering were performed in-house.
