The Floating House is located in the central valley of Costa Rica. The project is based on passive design strategies and the use of natural resources. Industrial building techniques combine with locally harvested and regenerative construction materials. Ample roof overhangs protect the house from rainwater and solar impact. The building develops from the inside out. Terraced gardens and balconies provide spectacular views of the surrounding landscape. Interiors merge with their adjacent exterior spaces, creating a harmonious and functional relationship between nature and the built environment.
