If you see Costa Rica from the ground, rurality is equal to territory. There seem to be no pauses between a small house and the next, boundaries between towns and the countryside are blurred, an endless urbanization along the routes that spread out from the towns filling the available space and modifying the agrarian landscape that was once natural. A single family home cannot say much about this, but it has to make a point because it is part of the phenomenon (problem ?). By making itself evident, a white shape against the intense green of the coffee plantation attention is brought to how the farms are being parceled out for new land uses, to the old farm roads that become residential roads and to the agroindustrial infrastructure that is being replaced by these structures (the house bears resemblance to the coffee processing plants and to "recibidores", the often gravity defying structures where the grain is collected).
The new middle-class that build these houses are absent during much part of the day often traveling long distances to their jobs, it is a tempting theme to make the architecture "happen", when pieces of it are mixed with the people when they return home. Unintelligible parts of the pool, stairs, walkways, bridges or terraces make sense when they are used by the inhabitants of the house.
