Visualization for Both Dominican Coasts
NoTriangle Studio is a senior-led boutique visualization partner for luxury real estate developers, and in the Dominican Republic for the architects and design firms building here. Our work here is on the north coast: the exterior marketing renderings for the Playa Grande Coastal Villas, three modern tropical villa designs by Denton House Design Studio for a beach-and-golf community near Cabrera and Río San Juan.
The country has two very different luxury coasts. The east, around Punta Cana, Cap Cana, and now Miches, is the high-volume resort market, where The St. Regis Cap Cana opened in 2025 and Four Seasons is building a resort and private residences at Tropicalia. The north coast, from Puerto Plata through Sosúa and Cabarete to Río San Juan and Cabrera, is greener, quieter, and cliff-lined, home to Amanera and its villas at Playa Grande, with a Ritz-Carlton Reserve planned at La Boca.
Buyers come mostly from the US, Canada, and Europe, and many projects sell with CONFOTUR status, the tourism-incentive regime under Law 158-01 that can exempt buyers in approved projects from transfer tax and annual property tax for a set period. The visuals have to hold up when a buyer compares a north coast villa against a Cap Cana branded residence, from a laptop in New York or Madrid.
Dominican Republic, September 2026: the country received a record 11.6 million visitors in 2025, including 2.8 million cruise passengers, according to the Ministry of Tourism (MITUR). Most luxury buyers here are among those visitors first, which is why a north coast villa has to hold its own against the Punta Cana resorts they already know.
