This project is conceived as a contemporary interpretation of Spanish Colonial Revival architecture, rooted in the climate, materials, and building traditions of El Salvador.

Rather than replicating historical forms, the design distills their underlying principles. Thick walls, deep openings, and shaded exterior spaces are used to temper heat and light. Roof forms are simple and deliberate, expressed through exposed wood rafters and honest structure. Openings are carefully proportioned to frame views, encourage cross ventilation, and create a measured rhythm across the façade.

Material choices are restrained and tactile. Plaster, stone, tile, and wood are used for their durability and regional familiarity, not ornament. Finishes are intentionally muted, allowing texture, proportion, and light to carry the architectural expression. Modern construction methods are employed where appropriate, but always in service of timeless form and performance.

The result is a house that feels grounded, calm, and deeply connected to place. It is neither nostalgic nor overtly modern, but instead seeks permanence through clarity, craft, and restraint.
