Designed by S-AR, this refuge is composed of three distinct residential units, each crafted with a thoughtful selection of concrete, wood, and steel. The design embraces the sloping terrain, allowing the structures to nestle comfortably into the landscape. The open spaces within Casa Eva invite the natural world inside, creating an ideal setting for those seeking to reconnect with nature. The use of natural materials ensures durability and sustainability, crucial in the tropical climate of Oaxaca.
