JJ House

This ongoing residential remodel is designed as a restful tropical retreat for a Canadian client seeking warmth, calm, and connection to nature during extended stays in El Salvador. The main goal is the transformation of an existing home into a serene, climate-responsive sanctuary—carefully adapting the spatial flow, finishes, and furnishings to embrace its tropical surroundings.

The design integrates natural materials, lush greenery, and an indoor-outdoor lifestyle, with an emphasis on comfort, relaxation, and low-maintenance elegance. Large openings and cross-ventilation support passive cooling, while custom furniture and thoughtful zoning enhance daily rituals of rest and reconnection. The home is being reimagined not only as a functional living space, but as a personal oasis—a place where tranquility and nature meet contemporary design.
