The Terraza and marina at Islas Secas were conceived as an expression of tropical craft and low-impact construction. Built primarily from bamboo, reclaimed hardwood, and natural stone, the structures embrace local materials and building traditions while minimizing embodied energy. The bamboo framework is assembled through a system of bolted steel joints and mortise connections, combining strength, flexibility, and ease of repair. Lightweight, naturally ventilated roofs reduce the need for mechanical cooling, and all finishes are breathable and uncoated, allowing the architecture to weather beautifully in the marine environment. The result is a construction approach that merges engineering precision with vernacular intelligence — architecture that feels grown, not built.
