Monoi别墅是位于塔马林多河岸西端的度假别墅。由于季节的原因，哥斯达黎加的这一地区每年有三分之一的时间都处于干燥之中。该地区多生存干燥的热带雨林动植物，且常年遭遇旱灾和水资源枯竭。住宅所处的周边环境使其无法享受美丽的自然风光，因此，设计师用简单和内敛的设计，为住宅营造了丰富的庭院空间，将绿色与自然拥入怀中。

Villa Monoi is a holiday home in the South end of Playa Tamarindo located in the province of Guanacaste Costa Rica. This zone of Costa Rica belongs to an arid area of the country affected by a pronounced dry season lasting one third of the year. The flora and fauna belong to the dry tropical rain forest and the region in general suffers from occasional droughts and water scarcity. The house is introverted since its location does not allow for the enjoyment of exterior views more than the groves of a green area contiguous to the property in the middle of a residential development.

该住宅以预制冷弯型钢整体结构代替传统的建造方式，将屋面板搭建在灵活和质轻的结构之上以获得水平屋顶。使其与当地为契合气候环境而建造的人字型屋顶形成强烈的对比。

The building system of the house is non-traditional and consists of an integral structure of prefabricated profiles in cold-formed steel, this allowed a very light and flexible construction system mounted on a structural slab that allowed to explore flat roofs in a region where the norm is to mitigate climate and rains with pitched roofing.
