Residential Architecture // Dominican Republic
STUD-IO RE [A] A // 2026
// CONTEXT
Located within the tropical landscape of Calethon Beach, in the Dominican Republic, Casa Solar proposes an architecture where light, materiality, and atmosphere construct a continuous dialogue between interior and exterior. The project is guided by the idea that the house should reveal its essence through the way light travels across spaces throughout the day, creating a sensory experience that translates the tranquility of the Caribbean into a contemporary language. The residence stands as a precise and quiet retreat, where architecture and nature remain in constant conversation.
CHALLENGE
The challenge consisted of organizing a large-scale residence while maintaining conceptual clarity and spatial coherence. The proposal sought to synthesize distinct atmospheres into a single architectural narrative, ensuring that each environment expresses the same tropical and contemporary essence. The design required careful control of proportions, materials, and natural light, ensuring a continuous experience balanced between monumentality and comfort.
