Vernacular
The architecture of Isla Fuerte EcoHouse is rooted in vernacular Caribbean traditions enriched with eco-sustainable practices. It blends simple forms—open verandas, sloped roofs, overwater decks, raised platforms—with passive cooling, natural ventilation, and locally available wood and other materials. The design respects the tropical climate, enabling sea breezes to flow through rooms, minimizing the need for artificial cooling, while solar panels and low-impact infrastructure ensure environmental harmony. The forest bungalows are set back from the shoreline, allowing the land to breathe; oceanfront rooms and decks float above or edge into the marine views, merging built and natural environments.
