Pros At just $20, the El is our favorite inexpensive shelf on the market. The willow wood veneer is sturdy, the four screw holes assure that you can mount it snugly to the wall, and the bright red…

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.
Muchisimas feliciades ARQUITECTO, estamos orgullos d tu portada en esta buenisima y respetada revista Dwell, casas como las tuyas se lo merecen, la sensacion de estar ahi es como la de no estarlo, que bueno que te has mantenido firme con tus proyectos de cuquismo. haber cuando la otra? Mauricio
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.
I want to know how to start to build a home in La Libertad, Teotepeque...I have looked everywhere on line for materials...and nothing. I love your home. Can you help me with info. please? Thank you, Staci de Pena
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.

Te felicito Maestro!
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!!!
Esta es solamente una muestra de la Arquitectura que por motivos socioeconómicos , ha estado oculta por mucho tiempo en El Salvador. La libertad de expresión en diseño y construcción de igual manera , estuvo por mucho tiempo en el ólvido. Gracias Páredes por devolvernos un indicio de lo rescatable. Raul Rodriguez Guerra.
Ya que hay interes en la cuestion de los monkeys, les puedo decir que si HABIAN monkeys en el pais, pero hoy ya no. La finca de mis abuelos quedaba bastante cerca adonde hoy dia esta ubicada esta casa en La Libertad, y de nina, mi mama *si* tenia un monkey en la finca como mascota. Se llamaba Senor Banana. Lamentablemente, Senor Banana desaparecio un domingo en el invierno. Se supone fallecido. Creo que los otros monkeys como Senor Banana se fueron del pais durante la guerra, probablemente a Costa Rica en busca de un pais mas estable. A mi, me gusta la casa. Y yo creo que Senor Banana estaria de acuerdo.
Que casa mas rara, es como estar viviendo en un tanque para peces. This is the weariest house I’ve ever seen, I think Tuscany is a beautiful place to live, but this house is not a big deal as far as design. Keep improving.
The simplicity of the design and clean lines are great. The picture windows are a fantastic touch to offset the harsh concrete facade.
AMAZING beautiful house. I doubt the monkey comment was made in a derogatory way. What he may have meant to say was that, with such open space and minimal security, it would be hard to live comfortably with neighbours in close proximity. Maybe I am wrong, but I tend to give thought to a comment and I would imagine the same thing. But that could just be because I live in New York and so my first thought was "do neighbours see their every move?" I think people are too sensitive and negative thinkers. I grew up in Africa and we have many monkeys. I love monkeys, they are cute and loving creatures. Lucky of you guys who have managed to have one as a pet :)
