{ Guatemalan Architecture }


Swoon - worthy doesn't even begin to describe this dream house! Corallo House by PAZ Arquitectos is everything a south american villa should be even with a live tree growing through the house and all! and ohhh the use of materials, especially the concrete (board formed of course), and check out the second image with the conduits and other electrical/plumbing/mechanical nonsense spanning the concrete and exposed.... makes me wish I lived somewhere that had stupidly cheap labor. But I really must commend PAZ for a brilliant use of the Guatemalan terrain. As a first generation American, with basically all my family living in Guatemala, I still visit the 'motherland' regularly, now I just need to see if I can get an meeting with the owner to tour this home next time! {via}

{ Guatemala }





above picture is of sink hole circa 2007
Another third world country in need no one ever hears about. This past week Guatemala was hit with a crazy volcano eruption and then a mean ol' tropical storm. Here are some soooo sad pics. Please keep all these guys in your thoughts, Guatemala is one of the most beautiful places in the world (check out the newest jcrew catalogue if you don't believe me) {via}
