Casa Thomson
The Thomson family frequent Nicaragua, and purchased their dream lot in San Juan del Sur. They selected Casa de Tierra to build their hybrid home, which features earthbag walls alongside conventional techniques.
Their three-level home is sited with respect to the land, and the creative architecture encourages passive cooling strategies. The home features a red-clay tiled roof, grand doors to maximize airflow and light, and three porches to encourage an ideal use of indoor/outdoor space.
