This modern house is in the middle of the forest, ISEAMI(Institute of sustainability, ecology, art, mind, and
investigation)
has been designed by Robles Arquitectos located in Playa Carete, the Peninsula
de Osa, Costa Rica in the middle of the nature. The main concept of the house
is to build a low maintenance cost house with new innovations and use SDRA
design process (Dynamic System Robles Arquitectos). In the area far away from
towns it must be a self-sufficient house especially water and electricity. Mold
and plagues are big attention beside energy, the house structure and electro mechanic
design was inspired on an exo-skeleton insect. The needs in blending the house
and the nature, this house considers passive strategies that set the natural
illumination, air windows, and humidity. Recyclable material such as plastic,
glass and steel have been chosen for this house element for life-cycle concept.
