Project: “La Casa del Taller”
This is the home of Costeño Social. HELP us in our project of constructing multifunctional spaces where workshops and quality classes are developed to promote the learning and future potential of the children and young people involved.
In our eco-construction, we use sustainable materials; wood typical of the region which doesn’t contribute to deforestation or extinction; native palms adapt our roofs to the natural context that surrounds us; adobe bricks..
Wide spaces, generally open and different to the traditional school classroom.
