LA VIDA VERDE HOUSE

We designed this house for ourselves, as an architectural experiment, to be continued with time.

The idea of layers was used, searching for a multiple, dynamic and infinite space.

The house is open to nature, wind, sun, sky and wide views.

Land was almost unattached, construction is lifted from the floor, so abundant water from tropical rains to pass by and humidity minimized.

Materials are all local ones; certified teak to refuse deforestation of native trees, water is heated with solar energy.

Construction area: 240 m2
Construction: Tsawi constructora
Cost x m2: U$ 500
Year: 2003
