Cincopatasalgato Creates Child-Friendly Casa in El Salvador

Architect José Roberto Paredes and his family live in this open and airy jungle dwelling in the dense rainforest outside of San Salvador.

Cincopatasalgato designed Casa Tuscania using steel, wood and concrete.

Sliding translucent panels allow the sunlight to be modulated.

The child-friendly family home has easy-care cool concrete floors.

An industrial chic range of chairs brings a casual air of informality.

A simple bathroom imaginatively uses a tin bucket to form the sink.

A seating area seems as if it’s set within the canopies of the tall trees.

An enormous blackboard offers a creative outlet for the young family.

Lightweight ceiling-height wooden doors can be easily operated by children.

While concrete shelters the back wall, the front is glazed to allow the jungle in.

The jungle outside is present at every opening in the airy and simple space.

Quite a magical place to grow up.
