Casa Tucker
Casa de Tierra is proud of our work in creating Tucker’s appealing, inviting and unique oval-shaped two-story bamboo home in the community of El Camino del Sol in San Juan del Sur, Nicaragua. We chose bamboo as our building material, and constructed a casita featuring Guadua posts, cana esterilla wall paneling, and bamboo furniture. This sustainable home highlights the strength and beauty of bamboo.
