Uvita, Bahia Ballena, Puntarenas 60504, Costa Rica
The Zen Villa is a unique No Footprint Wood House located in Uvita on Costa Rica’s spectacular South Pacific coast. Designed to bring architecture and nature into harmony, its open design frames ocean and mountain views, while natural light, breezes, and the sounds of wildlife become part of daily life.
Constructed in teak wood, the villa features carefully joined timbers inspired by traditional boatbuilding. Indoor and outdoor spaces flow together, creating an inviting setting to gather, reflect, and enjoy the landscape from sunrise to sunset.
Recognized internationally under its architectural project name, No Footprint Wood House, the design received a Platinum award in the 2024 Houzee Awards’ Sustainable and Eco-Friendly Residential category; Gold and Silver awards at the International Design Awards; and a BLT Built Design Award for Sustainable and Energy Saving Architectural Design.
The sellers envisioned The Zen Villa as a sanctuary where life unfolds in harmony with nature. Its thoughtful inside-out design keeps the landscape in view throughout the home: mountain light at sunrise, changing skies over the ocean, and tropical breezes moving through the living spaces. Birds, butterflies, and other wildlife add to the feeling of being immersed in the South Pacific landscape. Each day brings a different perspective, inviting a quieter, more contemplative way of living.
