BEACH RESIDENCE
Coyolito, Valle, Honduras
The small town of Coyolito in the southern Pacific coast of Honduras is characterized by its virgin beaches and magnificent landscapes. The year-round warm weather makes this a popular destination for internal tourism. Many families in Honduras take advantage of its nearby location (2 hours from Tegucigalpa) and migrate to this Pacific idyllic vacation spot or retreat.
Taking the spectacular sunsets and views of the only volcano in Honduran soil - Isla del Tigre (Island of the Tiger) - the inspiration for this house was to take the minimal approach in disturbing the site. Located in a challenging topography, the house was designed to accommodate itself to its surroundings and landscape. Situated upon impressive views and landscapes, the house was adapted to fit the influences of the site, with a very geometric design and materiality to its most natural state; stone and glass, no ornamentation and abundance of clay and terracotta - both local to the area.
The original presentation for this project was hand drafted plans and renderings. While attending SCAD I was provided with the opportunity to model the house as the final project for Communication in Electronic Design (ELDS 708). .
