DOMINICAN REPUBLIC A MINIMALIST HOME IN THE CARIBBEAN LANDSCAPE
An interplay of intersecting planes, immaculate surfaces dramatically cast by the crisp shadows of the Caribbean, and essential spaces that allude to a concept of living free from superfluity and in silent dialogue with the landscape: all this is Flamboyanes 41, the home designed by Estudio Mazara that emerges as a sculptural yet delicate presence among the green hills, palm trees, and heavenly beaches of La Romana, Dominican Republic.
The 450-square-meter home is structured with a marked horizontal pattern between fluid and interconnected spaces, in a tight rhythm that alternates outdoor spaces with domestic living spaces, where targeted gaps in the solidity of the walls open up privileged views of the surrounding natural context.
The dialogue between solids and voids, light and shadow, and the play of reflections on the pool’s water, which duplicates the Caribbean sky, lend a vaguely “contemplative” quality to the composition. This is accentuated in the interiors—finished with natural materials (stone, wood, and plaster) and punctuated by textured furnishings—where a peaceful and refined atmosphere reigns.
