在哥斯达黎加巴加塞斯（Bagaces）生态小镇，靠近火山山脉的森林深处，一座座“漂浮”的亭阁掩映于茂密林间，远眺峡谷景观，令人心醉神迷。

In the ecological town of Bagaces, Costa Rica, near the volcanic range, floating pavilions anchored in lush forests reveal mesmerizing canyon vistas.

概览

Overview

项目位于哥斯达黎加巴加塞斯郡两条峡谷交汇处形成的高地半岛上，Rio Perdido 西侧小屋（Rio Perdido West Bungalows）为宾客营造出一个独特的体验场所。在这里，清凉的Rio Blanco与温暖的Rio Perdido交融，形成一片原始秘境。由于交通受限，这片峡谷区域曾长期被忽视，如今却成为宾客亲近雨林与隐秘溪流的绝佳背景。

Nestled on a raised peninsula formed by two converging canyons in Bagaces County, Costa Rica, the Rio Perdido West Bungalows immerse guests in a unique setting where the Rio Blanco’s cool waters merge with the warm currents of the Rio Perdido. Historically overlooked due to limited access, this pristine canyon area now provides the backdrop for bungalows that seamlessly connect visitors with the region’s lush forests and hidden river.

概念

Concept

Saxe工作室构想出这些“漂浮”的亭阁，旨在提升酒店体验的同时，实现对土地的最小干预。每间小屋都架设于细长的柱脚之上，使雨水与野生动物得以自由穿行其下。无边框玻璃带来无遮挡的全景视野，将森林与峡谷尽收眼底。设计目标是营造出一个将当代舒适感与当地文化精髓自然融合的环境。

Studio Saxe envisioned these floating pavilions to elevate the hotel experience while lightly touching the land. Each bungalow rests on slender pilotis, allowing rainwater and wildlife to flow freely beneath. Frameless glass provides uninterrupted, panoramic views of the surrounding forest and canyon. The purpose was to craft an environment that seamlessly blends contemporary comfort with the region’s cultural essence.

设计

Design

一堵精心布置的石墙起到视觉屏障的作用，在提供私密性的同时引导视线通向峡谷，并使建筑更好地“扎根”于土地。这一设计表达了公共与私密空间之间的过渡，也回应了场地的地形特征与文化脉络。

A carefully positioned stone wall functions as a visual barrier—offering privacy while simultaneously revealing the canyon and anchoring the building to the ground. This design intention articulates the transition between shared and private spaces, reflecting both the site’s topography and the region’s cultural heritage.

通过对空间布局、机电协调与灯光的精细把控，设计团队打造出一个兼具热带简约与精致奢华的度假体验，使宾客沉浸于林中之境，既享受私密性，又不失广阔视野。

Through thoughtful space planning, electromechanical coordination, and lighting design, our team created a retreat where tropical simplicity meets refined luxury, immersing guests in the surrounding forest while preserving privacy and unobstructed views.

宽敞的露台与精妙融合的户外淋浴空间进一步强化了建筑与自然的持续对话，使宾客始终与这片奇妙景观的声色联系在一起。同时，卧室与浴室之间通过隐蔽隔断维持私密性，而一道横贯室内的大型观景窗，则将峡谷风光引入每一处起居空间的核心。

Expansive terraces and thoughtfully integrated outdoor showers further foster a constant dialogue between the built environment and nature, ensuring guests remain linked to the sights and sounds of this remarkable landscape. Meanwhile, a discreet partition between the bedroom and bathroom maintains privacy without breaking sight lines, and a long, uninterrupted window frames breathtaking canyon views—drawing nature into the heart of each space.

室内设计

Interior Design

室内由常驻纽约的设计师Dania Saragovia主导，她以温暖的色调、天然材质与编织质感营造空间氛围，这些元素与整体建筑语言相契合，赋予室内环境统一而亲切的气质。

Dania Saragovia, a New York–based interior designer, curated the furnishings by selecting a warm color palette, natural materials, and woven textures. These elements align with the overarching architectural style, resulting in a cohesive and inviting interior environment.

可持续策略

Sustainability

小屋整体架空于地面，以保护自然的水流路径和野生生态。宽大的屋檐减少太阳热辐射并抵御暴雨，从而支持被动式降温策略，有效降低能源消耗。项目使用本地采购的木材、石材与其他天然材料，与周边森林和谐共生，彰显了对生态环境的敬意与对可持续发展的承诺。

Emphasizing minimal impact, the bungalows hover above the ground to preserve the site’s natural flow of water and wildlife. Long roof overhangs help reduce solar heat gain and protect against heavy rains, supporting passive cooling strategies that cut down on energy use. Locally sourced wood, stone, and other natural materials harmonize with the surrounding forest, reinforcing a commitment to environmental stewardship and respect for Costa Rica’s ecological integrity.

建造方式

Construction

虽然整体设计语言统一，但每座小屋均因应不同的地势高差与现场条件灵活调整。预制化建造技术提升了施工效率，并最大程度地减少对生态环境的干扰，实现了因地制宜的在地建造。最终呈现出一种当代热带建筑美学，既融入自然又具持久生命力，体现了“轻触土地”的设计理念与对本土工艺的尊重。

Although the bungalows follow a unifying design language, each structure adapts to the terrain’s varying elevations and conditions. Prefabrication techniques streamlined construction while maintaining a site-specific approach, ensuring minimal disruption to the delicate ecosystem. The result is a contemporary tropical architecture that stands in harmony with its setting—born from a light-touch philosophy and built to last through the careful integration of modern materials and regional craftsmanship.
