Casa Jardin is located one block away from Costa Rica's main tourist destination yet is completely off the grid. Featuring lush gardens, this modern home boasts an airy design as a garden oasis. Designed by Architect Rodolfo Tinoco, Casa Jardin is self-sustainable.
This home boasts solar panels and a recycled water system to allow living off the grid to be completely possible. The property has all systems to allow food production, water filtration, power, and shelter during natural disasters. It is built to illustrate the possibility of reducing our environmental impact. Casa Jardin promotes a sustainable lifestyle without sacrificing any amenities and comforts of life. This house acts as a blueprint for self-sustaining architecture. Situated on the beach, a vertical and edible garden on the main facade wraps itself around the home to create privacy.
