This beachfront house sits in the palm-fringed resort of El Zonte in El Salvador, one of the world’s surfing meccas. Recently, the area's rustic charms have been slowly but surely upgraded thanks to its bitcoin-rich visitors (the town spearheaded the country's adoption of the digital currency as a legal tender), paving the way for new construction projects such as Al Suave House, the aforementioned property by Salvadorian practice Cincopatasalgato and Spanish architects Pepe Cabrera Homes.
Designed for a private client but also available to rent from this summer, the beachfront holiday villa is perfectly located to take in the stunning landscapes and unmatched surf breaks of the emerging holiday resort. Lead architects José Roberto Paredes, founder of Cincopatasalgato, and Paula Cabrera Gil of Pepe Cabrera Homes, have worked together to transform an existing beach house into a building that celebrates both local materials and natural surroundings.
