Achiote
Location: Uvita, Costa Rica
“This project is the very first “rammed earth” implementation in Costa Rica. Authots completely used clay soil from the excavations of the foundations for the construction of all perimeter walls.
Near Uvita town, on a plot of 11,000 square meters at a height of 300m above the sea, I designed two small villas in a hill overgrown with a jungle. Both villas, partly levitating above the steep southern slope, are designed for short-term recreational rentals. The built -up area of each of them is 90m2. The intention was to design sustainable houses with biophilic interiors, which will be sophisticatedly thought-up and at the same time their shaping will be strongly minimalist and clean. No unnecessary extra element, but also nothing to miss.”
