Casa Cañón is laid out on a single level, on a built platform in the Orosi Valley. The main living room opens double-height onto the valley through a continuous window wall, and the house extends into a covered dining terrace that works as a second living room for most of the year.
The materials are local and deliberately few: volcanic stone on the kitchen island, tropical cedar joinery, and cross ventilation throughout, with ceiling fans and a wood fireplace for the valley’s cool evenings. The property is an independent finca with no condominium regime, with its own spring, a photovoltaic system and whole-house water filtration.
