How to design a tropical home?

A tropical home should...

- adapt and blend into its natural surroundings

- flow with the site

- use climate conditions to its advantage

- include large overhangs to protect the house from direct sun and rain

- use vegetation as part of the design, creating a peaceful atmosphere and using its shade to cool down the house

- plant vegetation that will feed local wildlife. Remember, they were here before we arrived

- adopt regenerative strategies to reduce its carbon footprint

- use passive methods to reduce energy consumption

- use as many local materials and labor as possible

- have low operating and maintenance costs

If you like the idea, get in touch. Surely we can work something out.
