The Floating House is designed by award winning Costa Rican designer Benjamin Garcia Saxe and overlooks stunning views of nature. Built atop the Costa Rican jungle, the space is constructed of three pods that can house seven, with walkways and bridges connecting the spaces. Comprised of natural teak wood flooring, solar water heating and UV water filtration systems, the space is sustainable and beautiful. With an infinity pool and stunning views of the nearby ocean, the beach is also just a walk away. Designed to be a holiday home, the space is inexplicably tied to the outdoors with an emphasis on open space and natural lighting. Check out some photos above, and head over to The Modern House to see more.
