Casa de la Improvisación

This project is more than a house, it is a story. A story of an artist who lives in deep relationship with the land, who sees improvisation not as a flaw but as a beautiful truth of life. Every brushstroke, every plant, every material becomes part of an unfolding artwork - music, writing, painting, building, and growing all woven together.

This house is also the first step in my larger journey. Through learning architecture, engineering, and bioconstruction, I am gaining the skills to help people create homes from scratch, homes that are sustainable, creative, and alive. Ultimately, my vision is to design and build entire communities rooted in permaculture, water systems, ecological construction, healing spaces, and collective life.

This home is a beginning, a seed of improvisation, ecology, and art, pointing toward a future of communities that honor both people and the earth.

Caña Brava

Wild Clay

Bioconstruction Techniques

Quincha walls, built from clay over a woven framework of caña brava and wood, combine tradition with resilience. Their flexible structure bends with seismic movement, allowing the earth coating to crack without collapse, a system refined in the Peruvian Amazon and proven earthquake-resistant for centuries.

Kombucha

SCOBY

For the roof, SCOBY - a living material grown from the symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast - offers a sustainable alternative. Lightweight yet durable, it creates a breathable, biodegradable covering that reimagines traditional thatch with innovative, renewable design.
