Each room is more breathtaking than the last. You can easily find inspiration for private spaces in your home by visiting the villa. You’ll maybe even feel like renovating your bathroom after seeing all the ones this house holds! The choice is yours.

Exotic getaway, anyone? The décor of this home – that can house up to 12 guests – beautifully combines the ocean’s beauty with the warmth emanating from wood. Built in order to deliver the least amount of energy possible, the house fits in perfectly with its oceanfront surroundings. It was the first ever in Mexico to be LEED certified!

From a traditional wooden house to a modern villa, its architects did not forget a single element. They even discretely added a passive solar system, a rainwater capture system, and LED lights to keep energy usage to a minimum.

Recreate this look by using local wood supplies or use other eco-friendly elements. Give your home the touch of nature you always wanted.
