I accidentally ran across a great resource on the house I am currently considering in Barra de Navidad. The realtor showed me two houses that had been designed by a local architect: Alejandro Lazareno. I googled his name to see if he had designed other houses. He had.
But the most interesting find on that search list was this blog. It shows a week by week progress of the house being built two years ago. Where but on the internet could you find such a resource?
It is a huge blog -- with lots of interesting commentary and even more interesting photographs. It gives me a good idea where lines are buried under the concrete, but it also assures me that the house is very well built.
Comparing the photographs, it is hard to believe that it is the same house. For example, remember those colorful stairs? Here they are in their unfinished glory.
The picture at the top is of the lot before any work began. Compare it with the first picture in yesterday's posting. They are taken from about the same point.
Alee' asked for some additional pictures. So, for her, here is the dining area.
And the entry walk -- just inside the gate. Note the curved overhang. That is an Alejandro trademark.
And, once again, the beloved pool -- this time from the upstairs terrace.
As you can tell, my ardor has not yet cooled.
