Victor Canas’ Costa Rican Getaway House



Home Designing recently featured an incredible new vacation home by architect Victor Canas. The 4,500 square foot home was designed for a young couple and their son. The home is unique in the fact it has pools on both the inside and the outside of the home, including one that serves as the stair landing on the bottom floor. This was the most beautiful house I have ever seen, I was absolutely gob smacked by it. Link

It may look nice now, but in 2-3 years I bet it won't look as clean and white.
In the 12+ years that I have built custom homes in Vermont I have realized that it is best to keep water on the outside of your home. Each and every one of the homes that we built with an indoor pool or even a hot tub have been a nightmare when it comes to mold and mildew.
I can't imagine the amount of chemicals it would take to stop mold and mildew from growing on concrete in a tropical climate, not to mention the time their staff will have to spend scrubbing the place down.
On the other hand, I bet the mosquitoes will love the place.:)

Gorgeous house but, as stated above, the many water features should make mold a problem. Maybe if they can afford this house they can also afford the high maintenance as well.
