The Floating House is located in the central valley of Costa Rica. The project is based on passive design strategies such as site specific positioning and the use of natural resources. Industrial building techniques are combined with locally harvested and regenerative construction materials. Ample roof overhangs protect the house from rainwater and solar impact. The interior rooms merge with their adjacent exterior spaces, creating a unified and harmonic relationship among nature and the built environment. Terraced gardens and balconies provide spectacular views of the surrounding landscape.
