CASA SUNDOG DESIGN
The design concept was to create an open-plan indoor-outdoor living space that allows a large family to enjoy both the open-air tropical climate and or retreat, to cool, air-conditioned spaces. This was achieved through the conscious use of extended shaded terraces adjacent to every living area throughout the home. Every room has individual cooling with personal split AC units and all bedrooms have double-lined blackout blinds.
Finished in early 2021. This luxury home consists of 5 bedrooms, 2 living rooms, 7 covered terraces, an indoor kitchen, an outdoor bar, indoor/outdoor dining, a Saltwater pool, and a Jacuzzi all set over 2 floors with a total of 5500sqft.
