Nestled in the serene mountains of Carrizal, Heredia, adjacent to the lush Braulio Carrillo Natural Reserve, BUNKER House is a testament to sustainable and harmonious living. In this cold climate, the house seamlessly blends into its natural surroundings, designed to be both a camouflage and a sanctuary. By eschewing traditional fences, the property remains open, inviting local fauna to move freely and preserving the region’s biodiversity.

BUNKER House embodies an innovative approach to modern living, where wellness, fitness, comfort, and safety converge. The architecture draws inspiration from the surrounding landscape, creating an immersive experience that promotes a balanced lifestyle. Utilizing modular construction, the house is not only sustainable but also entirely off-grid, embracing a farm lifestyle that emphasizes self-sufficiency and environmental stewardship.

Inside, the design prioritizes wellness and fitness, with spaces thoughtfully arranged to encourage an active, healthy lifestyle. Large windows frame stunning views of the reserve, bringing the tranquility of nature indoors and fostering a deep connection with the environment. Comfortable and secure, BUNKER House offers a peaceful retreat that nurtures both body and soul, setting a new standard for eco-friendly mountain living.
