LITTLE MALIBU HOUSE: construction photos

The first house on the Dos Ceibas development located in Rincon, PR is almost complete and the slide show below gives an overview of the construction.




The dominant building method in Puerto Rico is cast in place concrete construction. Our goal for the Little Malibu house was to utilize this construction typology and re-deploy it in a way to create spaces that break with the now so common air-conditioned boxes, re-engaging a dialogue with the openness and passively oriented and cooled structures of a century ago.
