BEACH HOUSE IN PUNTA SAL
Maison de plage à Punta Sal

Punta Sal is a small touristic village located in the extreme North of Peru, approximately a hundred kilometers far from the border of Ecuador. It is situated on a long bay looking at the Pacific Ocean. It is a place where the natural factors are strong and visible. Because of the low temperature of the waters, the sea is full of life. Birds are of prehistoric sizes, they fly on the surface of the water in search of food. It’s common to see turtles, whales and dolphins. Project MAPE is a retreat at the end of the world. A kaleidoscope in rough concrete from which to observe this spectacular environment.

CATW

Concrete and the Woods is an architectural practice based in Switzerland. As careful observers of a mutating planet and society, we work in the production of meaningful spaces for the times that come. We design from the village of Préverenges but we like to build at every latitude.
