Casa Navarro

Nestled amidst the serene landscape of Contadora Island in Panama's Pearl Archipelago, Casa Mariposa is a stunning example of contemporary tropical architecture. Designed to blend seamlessly with its natural surroundings, the house features an open-plan layout that maximizes natural light and ventilation, essential for the island's tropical climate. Expansive glass walls and sliding doors blur the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces, offering breathtaking views of the lush gardens and the Pacific Ocean.

Inside, Casa Navarro boasts minimalist yet elegant interiors, with a focus on comfort and functionality. The living spaces are arranged around a central courtyard, which acts as the heart of the home, fostering a sense of community and connection. The integration of green spaces and the thoughtful use of natural elements create a tranquil and inviting atmosphere, making Casa Mariposa a perfect retreat in this island paradise.

The architectural design emphasizes sustainability and harmony with nature. The use of local materials, such as teak wood and stone, not only supports the local economy but also ensures the building is well-suited to the island’s environment. The roof is designed with a generous overhang to provide shade and protect the interior from direct sunlight, reducing the need for artificial cooling.
