Casa Jarabacoa sits at the edge of a forested hillside in the mountain town of Jarabacoa. The brief was simple: a family home that feels like it belongs to the landscape, not imposed on it.

The design uses a series of open volumes connected by a central terrace — the social heart of the house. Local stone grounds the structure, while deep overhangs and cross-ventilation eliminate the need for mechanical cooling despite the tropical climate.

Every interior space has a direct visual connection to the trees. The house was supervised on-site through all phases of construction.
