Greenhouse is a 600-square-meter, two-level apartment located on an artificial island in Punta Pacífica, Panama City. Designed as a continuous and fluid space, the residence organizes social and private areas across two volumes connected by a central linear courtyard oriented toward the sea and city. The apartment is elevated to accommodate a pool and planter, enabling lush vegetation while maintaining clear spatial separation between different functions. Materials, textures and color palette unify the design, creating a cohesive environment that contrasts with the surrounding tropical landscape.

The central courtyard is partially covered with an inclined glass surface and a permanent water feature that naturally cools and ventilates the interior. Terraces atop the volumes maximize panoramic views, complemented with plantings such as orange shrubs that integrate the built environment with nature. Interior spaces are arranged to balance openness and privacy. The furniture palette emphasizes white walls and floors with contrasting colors and materials that define functional zones and highlight visual axes. Sculptures and carefully placed design elements create visual interest throughout circulation paths.

Key spaces include a main bedroom and bath positioned to face the sunrise and city skyline, a double-height dining area with a sloped ceiling that enhances spatial perception, and open living areas that connect seamlessly to terraces and the courtyard. The apartment’s design prioritizes transparency, natural light and fluidity, establishing a clear relationship between interior and exterior while providing functional, visually coherent living spaces.
