Costa  Image Courtesy © José F. Costa Our first intervention was to reinforce and sustain the building and to create a sustainable model to the renovation to achieve a positive environmental and social impact using several disappearing crafts, traditional carpentry and natural building materials such as wood, earth, straw and lime that are low carbon emissivity. The result is a space made with materials and textures that are flexible, porous and breathable, following its main function of creating comfort among its inhabitants.  Image Courtesy © José F.
