CASITA SIMON

The concept of this project was to create a tropical small dwelling prototype “Casita” that’s cost effective but still beautiful and also a reminder of our vernacular architecture…we managed to create an interface of rough concrete floors, walls and built-ins threading with a lightweight metal structure and a wooden interior surface.

The double paraboloid roof covers a double height space with a mezzanine on top of the service areas to create a highly efficient configuration.
