Upon entering the gates of Punta Cana House, we are immediately enveloped in a sense of harmony between architecture and nature. Located in the picturesque Dominican Republic, this beachfront residence stands as an impressive testament to the interaction between contemporary design and the breathtaking Caribbean backdrop.
The blue-green waters of the Caribbean Sea merge with freshwater cuts adorned by fish and aquatic plants. As such, nature's forms inspire the organic design, embracing it sinuously.
The backbone of this architectural masterpiece is the magnificent veranda, meandering across the entire expanse of the house, extending over 700 square meters. Walking along it, one is led through an ever-evolving experience: openings and closures, highs and lows, ever-shifting vistas in every direction.
The heart of the home, the "Family Room," a floating glass cylinder immersed in aquatic gardens, serves as a gathering place for the family and guests. It's a convergence point for an international family, uniting members from different countries in an ambiance exuding tranquility and elegance.
The interior design, thoughtfully crafted for comfort and luxury, adheres to a discreet color palette. The rooms, six independent suites, are enclaves of privacy with stunning views and private gardens. The social areas, including the dining room, bar, and kitchen, find their place in the southern block, while the house's services are pragmatically organized in the same block.
The concept of inside-out is consistently questioned in Punta Cana House. Nature infiltrates the spaces with green gardens that extend to the ceiling, providing a visual and sensory connection to the external environment.
The use of natural materials such as stone, wood, and copper adds texture and authenticity to the aesthetic composition of the residence. Every detail, from the curved window frames to the ever-changing clipped copper roof, pays homage to the fusion of aesthetics and functionality. The panels and blankets required for perfect sealing and thermal insulation came from the United States. The terrain was raised and compacted by 2 meters, in caliche, relative to the original level to prevent potential invasion by the sea in the event of a hurricane. Engaging with this kind of technology (digital fabrication) shifts construction adjustments from centimeter to millimeter precision. Steel pillars are selectively and prominently used in the three supports of the veranda by the beach, digitally manufactured through the CAD/CAM process in France. The entire roof structure of the veranda and the suite block was also digitally manufactured through the CAD/CAM process in bonded laminated wood, in France.
