Costa Rican Contemporary

Written by Jim the Realtor

House Mecano is a body composed of a structure, a skin and a mechanism to adapt to their environment. The Concept of the residence arises in the use of passive strategies through bioclimatic design in synergy with an automation system that controls the appropriate levels of natural ventilation through open window systems and a pulley system that alter the position and inclination of the eaves manually, promoting thermal comfort and indoor air quality. The goal will be to maximize function in the smallest space possible.

    That is the fanciest way of saying “it has windows that open” that I’ve ever seen.

    That is a beautiful house, but it just seems so out of place in Costa Rica.

    A nice house, but looks as if it would be hot no matter how many windows open.

    Why the heck don’t we have any modern-style developments in San Diego ?

    Since it’s located in a tropical rain forest and they don’t mention anything about air conditioning, be sure and enjoy the hot humid and sticky environment inside your expensive home even with the windows open. Your white walls will soon be showing the effects of mold and tropical termites.
