Construction
The house is created a unique combination between foreign and local design.
The house is well-adapted to its environment: the louvers on the elevations enable passive cooling, the extensive shade provided by the coconut trees above; water for the house is harvested from three on-site wells, filtered and stored at the top of a water tower and fed by gravity to the house.
The pieces are slotted to fit into each other.
