Tapped as a collaborator by the interior design team for this award-winning, seaside estate, architect Brian O’Keefe brought his deep expertise and insight to the interior architecture program. Blurring the lines between inside and outdoor living, the residence is a testament of the power of transformative design in modern life.

“Casa Marea (which translates to “the Tide House”) is a multi-generational family residence that sleeps 28 located at the Four Season’s Costa Palmas in La Ribera, Mexico on the Sea of Cortez. Every detail is designed to maximize views of — and a connection to — water. Upon entering Casa Marea, you’re immediately pulled to the sea through an entryway flanked by faceted stone walls that disappear into reflecting pools. Frameless motorized windows make entire walls invisible providing unobstructed views of the water—opening and closing on-demand for a seamless indoor/outdoor experience.” – Architecture MasterPrize
