Located on the dreamy coast of Costa Rica in Cahuita, Casa Kike was designed by Gianni Botsford Architects with a budget of about 70.500€ ”by coupling indigenous techniques and materials with modern design technologies and aesthetics”. Wooden stilts serve as foundations upon which a (local) timber construction is standing. The concept is as simple as it gets – two basic blocks connected by a wooden pathway. One of them serves as a daytime area with a huge library and the other as the sleeping area with a bathroom. The building’s shell is made out of corrugated steel sheeting.
