High-End Home in Playa Pelada

Casas Piedra pairs rough-hewn stone walls with pale stucco and warm teak, its forms layered with wood-slat screens and pergolas that filter the tropical light. A turquoise-tiled plunge pool sits at the edge of a timber deck, framed by rattan loungers, a generous dining table, and the dense green of the surrounding trees. Inside, teak-framed sofas, woven raffia pendants, and clerestory glass keep the open living and kitchen bright and breezy, with sliding doors drawing the jungle indoors.

José Pablo Ortiz led the management of every phase — Design Management, Building Permit Management, Pre-Construction Management, and Construction Inspection Management & Project Closeout — during his years at PrendasLoria.
