SARCO Architects has shared photos of a home they completed in Costa Rica, designed to focus on transparency, blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces.

The steep terrain posed the biggest challenge of the design, and as a result, the home was broken up into several modules which were placed at different levels to work with the shape of the land and its changing elevations.

The main module has an up-down flow where the main entrance of the home and the main social areas are located on the upper level, with sleeping areas below.

The outdoor areas and swimming pool serve as a transition area to the other module. The outdoor areas wrap around the home and provide additional spaces to relax.
