Description of Careyes Villa Casa:
For almost 40 years, informed and enlightened travelers have ventured to this not-so-distant part of the world. And along the way, Careyes has quietly earned a reputation as the thinking man?s alternative to St. Barth?s or St. Tropez ? with every bit as much outdoor adventure, and a healthy dose of Euro-style La Dolce Vita. Visitors rent villas or casitas ? often with extended families in tow. Once there, they snorkel, horseback ride and snooze by day to the sounds of exotic birds and ocean waves ? and party at night to the beats of DJs imported from as far away as Paris. All the while, they?re treated as locals ? whether by the residents or by the natural surroundings. And not coincidentally, part of that hospitality comes from the house itself ? because the essential difference between Casa Careyes and other villas is in its mind and mood-altering design.
The story ? the crown jewel of the Careyes community ? begins with the development of Careyes itself. In the late 1960s and early 70s, resort developer Gian Franco Brignone commissioned a villa on an otherwise uninhabited point just a few hours south of Puerto Vallarta. The concept was an early form of eco-tourism ? and the philosophy became the foundation for an entire enclave of luxury villas. .
If Frank Lloyd Wright surmised that a dwelling should respond to its site and its surroundings, then Aldaco?s creation takes that hypothesis to its logical and altogether brilliant conclusion. Casa Careyes not only blends comfortably into its environment ? it becomes the environment. Here, there is no distinction between the house and the land or the house and the air. Or even the house and the water, for that matter. An infinity pool connects each section of the Casa to the next, so it?s possible to wake up from an afternoon nap in the bedroom and swim all the way to dinner. Aldaco also had lights aimed on an offshore rock formation ? making even the seascape itself part of his composition. But the one thing that makes this unique among all the villas in Careyes is that Aldaco didn?t just carefully arrange a grouping of palapas on a scenic overlook. Instead, he uses those forms together to create spaces between structures ? ?negative spaces? without any walls ? which by their inter-relationship with the rest of the scheme become as integral to the flow as any other element. Aldaco even used the gardens architecturally here, a room?s fourth wall might actually be a hedge. And incredibly, on the rare occasion when it rains in Careyes, guests at the dining room table are treated to a fabulous mist.
Even the site plan was developed of the earth, not in spite of it. Aldaco naturally drew inspiration from the majestic bluff and its incomparable vistas. But what?s truly noteworthy is the extent to which the architect let the land determine the layout. Aldaco camped out on the site for weeks to study and learn it ? the views of the water and the mountains, the direction of the rain, the wind patterns, and even the light and shade. He identified the best sight lines, imagining everything from the view through a window or passageway to an uninterrupted panorama. Then, satisfied that he had achieved a perfect compromise between man and nature, he sketched the plan in the dirt at full scale ? and had it photographed from a helicopter.
The result is a place that not only lets visitors gaze out over a 270-degree expanse of sea and mountains, but also forces them to completely disavow their traditional views about indoors and outdoors in the process. Each morning, as her guests push aside the simple shutters,and opens up to the world. The living and dining areas ? and even the master bath ? are each open on three sides. The breakfast room and sunset lounge have no walls at all. Birds fly right through the media room. And regardless of socioeconomic standing, the villa s human occupants are required to share their temporary shelter with the resident frogs, birds and butterflies. One could imagine a painting by Henri Rousseau without the limitations of frame and canvas ? or a five-star hotel with turndown service provided by the breeze.
Being the non-house that it is (or isn?t), Casa of course, defies description in more ways than one. Living is where the Villa comes alive, and the people of Careyes know how to live. Meals are taken outdoors as the space dictates. Visitors host parties for friends, and family the Villla plays the perfect hostess ? with some expert assistance from the full-time staff of nine, which includes a butler, a gourmet chef, a houseboy, three maids and three gardeners ? where champagne flows outdoors to the sounds of Beethoven mixed with the breakers, and where it?s not unusual to get lost in the glow of several hundred lighted candles on the terraces beneath an intensely starry sky
