Surrounded by tall palm trees and perched on undulating terrain, Casa en el Caribe is a single-family home featuring a prominent element: a large roof of tabique vaults that shields it from the sun while inviting in the breeze. Bordered to the west by a bustling road and to the east by a spectacular palm forest, three platforms sit at varying levels, adapting to the terrain's descent and opening up to the natural landscape. To protect the most vulnerable side, a local stone lattice is projected onto the patio and entrance facade, mitigating traffic noise, providing privacy, and filtering the setting sun.
