Eco Casa Flotanta overlooking the Pacific ocean

Architectural Studio Benjamin Garcia Saxe implemented in the Costa Rican province Puntaarenas interesting project eco Casa Flotanta. The main feature of this building is its location. Architects built an eco-house is practically on the steep slope in the middle of virgin jungle, and a good choice of seats and even provided from the Windows of Casa Flotanta beautiful panoramic views of the Pacific ocean.





During the design of eco, the specialists of Studio Benjamin Garcia Saxe the task was to minimize the impact of construction on the environment. Because of this, traditional for similar projects, land work, it was decided to exclude, and the only pressure on the land of steel concrete piles, which are already mounted modular elements of eco Casa Flotanta.

This solution allowed us to create the illusion of a woven object with its surrounding tropical jungle vegetation, and to cause the people who live here, the sense of close interrelations with the environment.





In conditions of steep slope, the island became the issue of security of stay in the house. First for it solution was planned the construction of a fence of corrugated steel sheeting around the eco, but then preference was given to safety nets, twisted creepers, which allowed to make the fence almost invisible, but extremely durable.





Not to mention that eco Casa Flotanta its creators are equipped with a number of energy saving systems. The system of collecting rainwater eliminates the need for the laying of water supply from centralized communication networks, and panoramic Windows significantly reduce the period of time when you need artificial lighting. In the near future, the architects also intend to install some solar panels that will transform Casa Flotanta in a fully Autonomous eco house.

Well, the fact that in the course of construction of the building was used exclusively wood and steel from which made the frame, just saying environmentally friendly and friendly to the environment project Casa Flotanta.
