Concrete Surfer Sanctuaries

Chris Luce Literally Designed a Two-Storey Residence for Surfers

— April 7, 2022 — Art & Design
Architect Chris Luce has put his mind and talent into creating a full-fledged surfer sanctuary in La Saladita, a coastal town in Mexico. The residence takes up two stories, with the second level protruding a bit out. The architect used concrete for the construction and the name of the project is 'Casa Nu.'

Shaded by beautiful and lush mango trees, the surgery sanctuary by Chris Luce surely constitutes a summer's dream. Open-air showers are included in the floor plan, as well, taking into consideration what beach dwellers—surfers, of course—require at the end of a long day out on the waves.

Chris Luce completes the interior of the house with furniture and cabinetry in natural tones. This facilitates a minimalist and calming vibe.
