Text description provided by the architects. The house is located in Playa Grande, Santa Cruz, in the pacific north of Costa Rica, in a Basal life zone with coastal influence, where temperatures are high, and the climate fluctuates between humidity and heavy rainfall in the rainy season and strong solar incidence in the dry season. This elongated structure is placed on the site from east to west, maximizing the cross ventilation and taking advantage of the shade of the existing Melina and Nancite trees, thus protecting the roof from direct solar radiation and giving freshness to the house, this roof works as a “big hat” with pronounced eaves supported by local teak beams.
