VILLA LUMA

A house that listens to the forest that envelops it.

Villa Luma opens to the light and air. Every line, every opening, every choice in material is a response to the murmurs of its surroundings. This is not merely a home; it is a conversation with nature, whispered through thoughtful design.

Attuned to the rhythms of the land, Villa Luma adjusts its rooflines to the sun's path, opens itself to the prevailing winds, and frames the forest's most breathtaking vistas from every corner within. Its walls do not impose but rather recede into the landscape, built from materials that echo the tones and textures of the earth.

LEARN MORE ABOUT THIS HOME
Villa Luma living room with floor-to-ceiling steel-frame windows

Open 48 m² Core

Living, dining, and kitchen share one volume that opens straight onto the covered terrace.

Steel-Frame Glass

Floor-to-ceiling steel-frame windows dissolve the line between inside and out on every elevation.

Cool, Continuous Floors

A single floor finish runs through the house, cool underfoot and unchanged by decades of equatorial weather.

Tuned to Sun & Wind

Rooflines follow the sun's path and openings catch the prevailing winds for passive comfort.

Optional Pool

A pool can be added to the rear garden as an upgrade, placed to sit within the landscape.

Regenerative Landscaping

Native vegetation weaves through the site while regenerative planting breathes life back into the soil.

Fits All El Pochote Lots

Villa Luma is designed to sit comfortably on any homesite in the El Pochote neighborhood.

VILLA LUMA

The terrace is the room you'll live in.

55 m² of covered outdoor living runs off the open living-dining-kitchen. Floor-to-ceiling steel-frame windows slide away, and the boundary between inside and out fades entirely.

  • 55 m² covered terrace off the 48 m² living volume
  • Floor-to-ceiling steel-frame windows throughout
  • Shaded year-round by deep roof overhangs
