Steel and wood frames diffuse inside-out boundaries in Costa Rica surf town. Set in the rainforest of Santa Teresa, Costa Rica, two modern homes project out of the landscape and are defined by a series of steel frames that bring the best modern methods of construction to a tropical location. The use of large steel I-beams and concrete is a tenet of the international language of Modernist architecture and Studio Saxe have taken this design approach and recontextualised it for contemporary use. As a sustainable architecture firm rooted in Costa Rica, Studio Saxe is committed to a search for authentic Central American tropical architecture.

钢和木架散布在哥斯达黎加冲浪镇的内外边界。位于哥斯达黎加圣特蕾莎的热带雨林中，两座现代住宅在景观之外突出，由一系列钢框架构成，这些钢架将最先进的现代建筑方法带到了热带地区。大型钢梁和混凝土的使用是现代主义建筑国际语言的一条原则，萨克斯工作室采用了这种设计方法，并对其进行了重新设定，以供当代使用。作为一家扎根于哥斯达黎加的可持续建筑公司，Saxe工作室致力于寻找正宗的中美洲热带建筑。

Concept The raw materials of steel and concrete are balanced with the careful use of crafted wooden screens and floors, to ensure the design of these rental properties is rooted in local traditions and building techniques. The black metal frames create cantilevered openings that hover over the social spaces below, creating a blurred distinction between inside and outside areas and between private and more communal atmospheres.

概念钢和混凝土的原材料与精心制作的木屏风和地板的使用是平衡的，以确保这些出租物业的设计植根于当地的传统和建筑技术。黑色的金属框架形成悬挑的开口，悬停在下面的社交空间上，造成内部和外部区域之间以及私人和更多公共氛围之间的模糊区分。

Design Large openings on every level of the Joya Villas make the building seem lightweight and they connect the inhabitants to the surrounding natural environment. A delicate timber staircase appears to float from one floor to the other, suspended by the finest steel cables. The town of Santa Teresa on the pacific coast of Costa Rica has become a multicultural hub, renowned for its large waves and untouched nature. Joya Villas is situated on a hilltop, with its main terrace directly overlooking one of the best surfing breaks in the region. People have rented the homes can enjoy the views of the best swells from the comfort of their infinity pool or simply walk down to the beach to enjoy.

乔亚别墅的每一层都设计了巨大的开口，使建筑显得轻巧，并将居民与周围的自然环境连接起来。一个精致的木楼梯似乎从一层浮到另一层，悬挂在最好的钢缆上。位于哥斯达黎加太平洋海岸的圣特蕾莎镇已经成为一个多元文化的中心，以其巨浪和未触及的自然而闻名于世。乔亚别墅坐落在山顶上，它的主要露台直接俯瞰该地区最好的冲浪休息之一。人们已经租了房子，可以享受最好的景色，从他们的无限游泳池的舒适，或简单地走到海滩上享受。

Architect Benjamin Garcia Saxe said: “Joya Villas is a clear reflection of a new wave of contextual contemporary tropical architecture that is born from and adapts to its precise location, land contours, and climate. These ingredients are then brought to life through the careful balance of modern building techniques and touches of handcrafted natural materials. Everything we do at Studio Saxe is focused on trying to enhance the experience of the natural in the inhabitant of spaces and perhaps even create moments of relaxation and reflection. This train of thought and the architecture that is emerging could begin to be considered as the birth of an authentic Central American Tropical Architecture.”

建筑师本杰明·加西亚·萨克斯(Benjamin Garcia Saxe)说：“乔亚·比拉斯(Joya Villas)清楚地反映了当代热带建筑的新浪潮，它产生于并适应其精确的位置、土地轮廓和气候。这些成分然后通过仔细平衡现代建筑技术和手工制作的天然材料的触感而生机盎然。我们在Saxe工作室所做的每一件事都集中在努力提高空间居住者对自然的体验，甚至创造出放松和反思的时刻。这一思路和正在出现的建筑可以被视为真正的中美洲热带建筑的诞生。“
