A Sanctuary of Serenity: Transforming a Rooftop in Santo Domingo into a Peaceful Oasis

In the heart of bustling Santo Domingo, Anarquitectura and Laurelin González have successfully transformed a building's rooftop into a family space brimming with serenity and privacy.

The client's vision embodied the desire for an urban sanctuary where he and his family could relax. The result is a rooftop terrace resembling a "cabin in the sky," combining comfort, greenery, and thoughtful design to achieve true serenity.

From the first moment, plants greet the visitor to soften the space and set a relaxing tone. The interior area feels warm and inviting, with a sloped wooden ceiling and hidden lighting that highlights the architecture while maintaining a serene ambiance. A compact kitchen and bar make entertaining easy, while a large sofa invites relaxed family evenings.

Outside, the warm wood cladding of the cabin wraps around the deck, creating a seamless flow between inside and out. The rooftop is carefully designed for both relaxation and entertainment; subtle lighting gently illuminates it after dusk, built-in seating provides space for friends, and the hot tub becomes the ultimate sanctuary for serenity. The plants are not merely decorative; they frame the space, create a sense of privacy, and give the rooftop a calm, natural feel.

The design features a smart layout that seamlessly connects indoor comfort and outdoor relaxation in perfect harmony.
