Casa Manana is a two-story indoor-outdoor home in pale stucco, its upper terrace parapet spilling with trailing greenery and its facades softened by slatted timber screens. Retractable glass walls fold away so the living room, teak kitchen and waterfall-edged stone island open fully onto a covered terrace and a green-tiled pool set with stepping stones. Woven pendants, live-edge wood and neutral linen keep the interiors warm and grounded, while planted light-wells bring the jungle close to serene, garden-facing bedrooms. Framed by heliconia and palms under a bright sky, the house feels verdant, breezy and refined.
