Eco-hotel
Located in the hills of Cayey, Puerto Rico, La Casita EcoHotel is designed with a clear intent: to work with the land, not against it. The architecture builds upon the site's existing features—using pre-existing paths, retaining walls, and terraced platforms to reduce site intervention and preserve the natural terrain.
The project comprises a series of modest volumes housing guest rooms, shared spaces, and a spa, all connected by a continuous walkway. Rather than dominate the landscape, the design allows the topography to guide its layout, resulting in a quiet integration of architecture and environment. The approach prioritizes context, simplicity, and a respect for place.
