Cincopatasalgato Architects gracefully combine traditional vernacular elements with modern minimalism for a family home in El Salvadore.
The open-air concept suits the temperate climate perfectly.
Concrete slab stairs are whimsically held by wooden struts.
The design plays with amusing and cheerful juxtapositions like concrete and straw, railway tiles and taxicab yellow enamel.
The upstairs childrens’ bedroom has the feel of a secret treehouse escape.
A large opening in the roof brings natural daylight into a small planted section in the deep interior of the home.
The rainfall is caught on the roof and directed to the interior garden.
A similar controlled square section of greenery is central to the open air home – it is a lifestyle closely tied with the tropical outdoors.
Throughout, a fresh and youthful irreverence informs the pleasant design.
