This cool beach house on Palabritas Beach in Lima, Peru was designed by Peruvian architect Jose Orrego. This modern beach house design idea was actually conceived to frame the breathtaking beach-front property and the spectacular sunsets every night. This unusual, low-profile architecture of this luxury coastal cottage design keeps the house intimate, but ultra-contemporary touches really make it stand apart from the rest. The gentle curves of the elevated box structure are open to the outdoors, inviting openness without sacrificing privacy. A minimalist white facade is punctuated by vivid, red accents like the tiled swimming pool and punchy furnishings, drawing the eye to the home’s main social spaces. Sliding glass doors create a versatile, indoor-outdoor design in this beachfront home, opening the living and dining room to the terrace for al fresco entertaining when weather permits. On the flip-side, an indoor patio unifies the bedrooms and the family room. Jose Orrego
