One of the six bedrooms dispersed between the main house and four guest cabins.
“All the pavilions were built using locally available materials like teak and bamboo,” says Kristin Morales, founder and principal designer at IM/KM. “The teak is locally sourced and is our wood of choice because it is a planted tree. It is not native to Panama, so we know that specifying teak will not contribute to further deforestation in the region. The wood has a delicate matte finish, and the interiors have a slightly lighter color, which makes the rooms brighter and provides a contrast with the darker bamboo structure of the roofs.”
Lauder is known for her use of color, femininity, and whimsy, and Casa Loro is no different. Soft textures and a neutral color palette with vibrant pops of color are seen in nearly every room. It provides a sense of place via tropical design and bohemian style but has Lauder’s singular, playful sensibility.
The main house is comprised of a large pavilion that houses the main living spaces, including a dining room, kitchen and home office. The primary suite is housed in its own wing and includes a private plunge pool. Every room is awash with natural light and prioritizes indoor-outdoor living through floor-to-ceiling windows and sliding glass doors with views that frame either the jungle landscape or the crashing waves of the ocean.
The dining room’s full-height glass doors open to catch breezes that blow off the Pacific Ocean.
Lauder says one of her favorite parts of the home is the indoor-outdoor living room in the main house with no walls, which features beachy decor like coconuts, palms, teak furniture, and shells they’ve found along the beach that fronts the property. There’s also a pool, a tennis court, equestrian facilities, a basketball court, gym/yoga deck, and staff quarters.
“The location is really isolated, so getting even the most basic necessities was an undertaking,” Lauder says. “Beyond the design, our home has an extremely positive social and environmental impact on the area. Our home also reflects the best of the destination—it is casual, colorful, relaxed, and inviting.”
Activities are endless and can include ATVing, kayaking, scuba diving, fishing, sailing, horseback riding, guided hikes, whale watching, and sea turtle release. When Lauder and her family aren’t enjoying their home, it can be rented exclusively via LVH.
