Located on the Papagayo peninsula of Costa Rica, the spectacular Indios Desnudos residence enjoys the luxury of a breathtakingly beautiful location situated on a pedestal lot overlooking the sea, surrounded by lush tropical forest on every side. Residents can enjoy this spectacular view from almost any location within the home thanks to an open indoor/outdoor layout, or can step out to one of the well-placed pools or observation balconies for a fully immersive experience. But this home offers design fans more than destination envy – the interior decor and furniture feature a cool mid century vibe to set off their ultra-modern architectural setting.
This amazing home is the work of Canas Arquitectos, a firm that focuses on supporting each resident’s way of life through sustainable design. Here, it’s easy to see this philosophy in action even at first glance – the architecture itself provides several different ways to enjoy its environment. Elevated volumes shade the patios below, large sliding walls allow the breeze to penetrate and cool the interior, and a huge interior social hub offers plenty of space to entertain guests. 
Mid century furniture stands out as sculptural individual pieces that don’t distract from the view – in fact, they sometimes complement it, like the orange and blue tones against the sunset. The featured Womb chair is a 1948 design by Eero Saarinen. 
Living, dining, and kitchen areas group together as a central hub, ideal for entertaining. Huge plate windows slide away to remove any boundary from the interior and the vast patios and pools just outside.

Private spaces like bedrooms and offices occupy the upstairs level of the home. The exposed walkways still allow a constant visual connection with the coastal landscape. 
Each bedroom enjoys a breezy nautical color scheme to complement the tremendous views. You’ll notice these pillows match the ones in the living room, bringing out all the wonderful gem tones that reveal themselves throughout the tropical mornings and evenings. 
And just look at this spectacular bathroom! Few things would be more relaxing and whimsical than taking a long soak in the tub, suspended over the forest canopy. 
Of course, the most magical place on this property is probably this extended observation deck. Imagine taking in the rich tropical sunsets from this all-encompassing vantage point. 
In the daytime, the pools offer a place to cool down and lounge. 
And at night, they serve as a soothing spot for stargazing or a social hub for parties. 
It’s hard to think of a better way to end a hectic work day than enjoying fresh air, a panoramic sunset, a good book, and a favorite beverage in hand. 
While the decks are great, the infinity pools offer another unique way to connect with the nature that surrounds. Without visible edges, it’s like a perfect mirror of the sky. 
Breathtaking from every angle!
