Architect-Designed Bioclimatic Home with Private Office Suite for Sale in Dos Mares, Panama City - cs id: 326644

Description:

This is not a standard home, and it was never intended to be one. Located in Dos Mares, this architect-designed residence was conceived as a functional, livable space that responds to Panama's tropical climate. Designed and built by its current owners, both architects, it follows a bioclimatic approach aligned with many LEED design principles. Thick 30 cm walls, cross ventilation, thermal insulation, thoughtful orientation, and a passive solar extraction system help regulate the interior temperature naturally. Evening interior temperatures commonly range from approximately 22 to 26 degrees Celsius without heavy reliance on air conditioning. The approximately 500 m2 residence is distributed across four levels, separating social, private, service, and professional spaces.

Living and Social Areas

The principal social level combines the living room, dining area, open kitchen, den, and several terraces. Large windows, bronze-tinted glass, skylights, and sections of glass roofing bring natural light throughout the home. Window placement, mature trees, and the north-south orientation help control direct heat while preserving privacy and airflow.

Dedicated Office Suite with Independent Access

One of the property's most valuable and unusual features is the large office suite on the lower level, with enough room for approximately five people. The office includes its own kitchenette, full bathroom, air conditioning, and a completely separate entrance with direct outside access. It is well suited to remote work, a small team, consultancy, creative studio, or client meetings, combining a residence and workplace while maintaining separation between personal and professional life. Any commercial activity remains subject to applicable neighborhood rules, permits, and regulations.

Layout and Key Features

The home includes four bedrooms, three full bathrooms, and two half bathrooms. There are also two service quarters, each with its own full bathroom; one includes a small sitting area. An adaptable upper-level gym at canopy level overlooks the surrounding trees and receives abundant natural light. It could remain a gym or become an office, studio, bedroom, reading room, or lounge.

The home contains two equipped kitchens: a main kitchen on the social level with granite countertops and built-in appliances, including a Bosch oven and Frigidaire Gallery refrigerator, and a secondary kitchen on the garden level serving the lower living areas and service quarters. Additional features include a den or family room, pantry and storage areas, a naturally lit laundry room, electric water heater, three parking spaces, and an electric entrance gate.

Outdoor Spaces and Terraces

Seven terraces are distributed across the residence's levels, facing north and south. The rear garden includes a water fountain sourced from Antigua, Guatemala, which attracts birds. There is also an approximately 20-meter area where a lap pool previously existed, offering the possibility of reinstalling a pool subject to evaluation and design. Mature trees provide shade and privacy, while toucans, parrots, and other native birds are regularly seen around the property.

Infrastructure and Practical Details

The property includes approximately 500 m2 of construction on 589.81 m2 of land, IDAAN city water, public electricity, three reserve water tanks, sediment filtration, a water pump and pressure tank, covered utility storage, internet service through cable and wireless providers, LED lighting, Hunter ceiling fans, and a flat insulated roof with potential for future solar panel installation. The north-south orientation supports natural ventilation.

A Home Designed Around Flexibility

This residence will appeal to a buyer who values architecture, natural light, generous spaces, privacy, and a strong connection between indoor and outdoor living. Its unconventional layout supports family life, remote work, a professional office, creative activities, staff accommodations, guests, and entertaining, while several rooms and levels can evolve with the next owner's needs.
