Insulating veil of plants envelops stunning seaside home in Mexico

Nature-inspired design has never looked so good. Los Angeles-based<a href="http://www.ezequielfarca.com"> Ezequiel Farca Architects</a> have camouflaged a seaside villa in Mexico with a lush green envelope. The two-story Vallarta House is carpeted in a massive <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/green-roof/">green roof</a> and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/green-walls/">vertical greenery</a> on the exterior, while the sea-facing facade provides spectacular views of the Pacific bay.

The green roof and exterior help to passively insulate the home.

The home's interior design includes a 50's modernist vibe to enhance the architectural design.

Along with the jaw-dropping ocean views, the home includes a home gym, home theater, two Jacuzzis, swimming pool, fire pit, and several multi-functional gathering spaces.

For optimal views, every room has floor-to-ceiling windows that open to private terraces.

The main living and dining room on the ground floor open up into the pool and terrace area, creating a seamless interior-exterior integration throughout the home.

As for sustainability, the designers chose to use natural stone and concrete walls that both provide passive cooling during hot seasons.

Additionally, the massive green rooftop and green walls help insulate the house, reducing the need for artificial air.

The home has plenty of gathering spaces, like a large fire pit.

Several seating options provide stunning ocean views.

Aesthetically, the greenery also helps blend the home into the natural landscape.
