Project History
Cunuco Retreat was developed as a vacation home designed to enjoy Mindo's natural environment with comfort, spaciousness, and character. Its design responds to the need to create a spacious holiday home, resistant to the humid climate of the area and visually connected with the landscape.
Architectural Concept
The concept combines contemporary architecture with a warm rural essence. Natural stone provides visual solidity and durability, while wood and bamboo generate a cozy and organic atmosphere. The wide terraces and the elevated structure allow enjoyment of the surroundings, improve natural ventilation, and protect the construction against Mindo's typical humidity.
Challenges & Solution
The main challenge was to build a spacious and functional house in a natural environment with high humidity and demanding weather conditions. The solution was to work with an elevated structure, resistant materials, and a layout that favors ventilation, protection, and comfort. The terraces, railings, and open spaces allow the home to feel connected with the outdoors without losing functionality.
