The No Footprint Wood House is located along the southern Pacific coast of Costa Rica. Its bioclimatic design integrates with the surrounding lush tropical forests and natural habitat. The project forms part of the No Footprint House (NFH), an innovative modular system that allows for a broad variety of climate-responsive building typologies. Industrial construction techniques and prefabricated components are combined with locally harvested and regenerative construction materials. The NFH promotes integral sustainability in terms of its environmental, economic, social and spatial performance.
