its fine, as long as your only neighbors are birds and monkeys. :P
-
I love this home, how can I get one? I grew up in the Florida Keys and concrete was a way of life...
-
BTW, there are no monkeys in El Salvador. I understand the metaphor goes well with the title but I just really hate ignorant comments. I love this house, it is such a great design, emerged with the landscape and climate of the country.
-
Concrete and glass have a high carbon footprint - better to try rammed earth - but the walls cant be so tall and thin. Nice hse.
-
Great design, simple clean lines, hope it holds the temp well on hot days.
-
BTW, yes there are Spider Monkeys in El Salvador in the wild. I've been there twice. I've seen a house similar to this in Costa Rica, less windows more open air..... Mosquitoes? I love this one.
-
I second Mattisvexed comment, there are monkeys is El Savador, known as the Black-handed Spider Monkey, aka Ateles geoffroyi.

Very nice house! As a Salvadorean it makes me feel good about this article. Carola i guess you should go out of San Salvador more often and get to know our country a bit more, there are both species of monkeys (besides my three kids!) in the mangroves in our coastlines.

He estado en esa maravillosa casa varias veces, y aparte de las agradables sensaciones que se anteponen ante cualquier visita normal, la casa es muy fresca, esta super bien ventilada y nunca me han picado los mosquitos cuando he estado ahi. Si tienen mas inquietudes porque no le preguntan directamnete a Jose Roberto en su correo info@cincopatasalgato.com p.d. tambien he ido a acampar y he visitado muchas fincas cafeteras y azucareras, he subido varios volcanes y cerros y nunca me ha agarrado ningun monkey.

Casa Tuscania is just fantastic! Jose Roberto, Congratulations As a Salvadoran Architect that has work in DC for a Commercial Interior Design Firm for the last 23 years and also a volunteer for the Embassy of El Salvador in Washington DC as the Cultural Attache for the last 7 years, can tell you that I am very proud to see one of our tallented designers in your cover. BTW I grew up in San MIguel, El Salvador and we had a monkey as a pet for many years and many wonderfull fun memories of him. Rene Rodriguez Bellucci

This is one lovely house.
-
Very impressive! What a honor to have a Salvadorian designer in such a prestigious magazine. I saw the article here in Europe and I was very proud. I was just wondering where the house is.... Los Planes de Renderos, Sta. Elena...? I guess he didn't mention it for security reasons. Anyways, I really hope to see more designs and articles like this one. Well done!

I am all for green living but does everyone have to dog on all these stories how it could have been more green? Not everyone wants to live in a rammed earth dome. I currently live in what was an old factory, that is green, it is perfect, no. Everyone can take steps to be more 'green', I think any in that direction should be commended. On another note, doesn't it suck when you call someone ignorant only to find out you dont know it all? Everyone knows more about something than you do...
-
Great house. I love how the structure is exposed. The use of raw material is done very well. Who cares about monkeys....go read Nat-Geo if you are interested in a monkey!

Que trip!!!Te felicito por tu casa y tu magnifico diseño! Comparto con los compatriotas el orgullo y espero nos sigas inspirando!!!
