This architect-designed residence in Dos Mares was created to respond naturally to Panama’s tropical climate. Designed and built by its architect owners, the home applies bioclimatic principles through 30 cm walls, cross ventilation, insulation, strategic orientation, skylights, and a passive solar extraction system that helps maintain evening temperatures of approximately 22°C to 26°C with limited reliance on air conditioning. The approximately 500 m² residence sits on 589.81 m² of land and is distributed across four levels, separating social, private, service, and professional areas. The main level includes the living room, dining area, open kitchen, den, and access to several of the home’s seven terraces. A standout feature is the lower-level office suite with independent street access. Designed for approximately five people, it includes two connected work areas, a kitchenette, full bathroom, and air conditioning. The home offers four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, two half bathrooms, two service quarters with private bathrooms, two equipped kitchens, a naturally lit gym or flexible studio, laundry room, storage areas, three parking spaces, and an electric gate. Mature trees, landscaped gardens, a fountain from Antigua, Guatemala, and native birds create a private natural setting minutes from central Panama City. An approximately 20-meter garden area may also allow for a future lap pool, subject to evaluation.
