House in Jama

​

 

Team: Juan Tohme, kenji Kogushi

​

Located on a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Jama, this beach house is conceived as a contemporary pavilion open to the horizon. Its lightweight steel structure defines a linear, transparent volume that subtly floats above the topography. Large glass planes allow for a continuous visual connection with the seascape, while the interior spaces—of a sober, monochromatic aesthetic—enhance contemplation and rest.

​

The use of dark materials in contrast with natural light creates an atmosphere of sophisticated calm. The integration of the kitchen, dining area, and outdoor living space reinforces a fluid and open spatial logic, characteristic of coastal living. This residence represents a synthesis of architectural precision, sensory enjoyment, and respect for the natural environment.
