DOS CEIBAS Building Green

This video is the 2nd of a 4 part series featuring Dos Ceibas entitled "Conscious Living." These videos by MTV Networks tell the story of our collaboration with BigPrototype as we explore sustainable strategies building custom tropical homes here in Rincón, PR.

Some of these strategies are dramatic, like the green roof on the Little Malibu House. Others, like orienting each home to take advantage of the prevailing trade winds, are more subtle, but equally significant.

Shot in Rincón, PR in December 2008, the videos would not have been possible without the help of the Uncharted Studio's Tony Dooley who saved the shoot. And, big ups to the Little Malibu boys for taking the plunge and making this thing real.

Check out the video above or watch it here, then please share it with friends and family.

As Seen in El Coqui

El Coqui of Rincon is the primary print publication in Rincon, Puerto Rico. The March 2009 issue is dedicated to real estate and Publisher and Editor Rhea Maxwell visited Dos Ceibas and the Little Malibu House for her lead story on different approaches to home building in Rincon.

Her article describes Dos Ceibas as "a new concept to Rincon" and the Little Malibu House as a "model of 'green efficiency'".

The March El Coqui discusses Puerto Rico Real Estate from a variety of perspectives: from going green and fung shui to stories on local real estate brokers and market conditions. It also includes the Surfrider Foundation's monthly column, an announcement for the Rincon Film Festival, and a report on the Tourism Association of Rincon's annual meeting. And, as usual, it also contains local ads, restaurant information, listings of land for sale, and other real estate listings.

The April issue of El Coqui of Rincon will be dedicated to environmental issues and community efforts in and around Rincon, Puerto Rico.
