Ignore Susoul Cats. Notice the lack of apology? Just "well, I don't get to be outraged I guess. Damn". Forget people like that. They're just having a bad....life.

Everyone in this looked exactly like what you'd expect ex-pats in Costa Rica to look like. I love the house. Why not have fun with the build instead of the same 'ole thing over and over.

Y'all are so quick to snark before finding out the details! And, by the way, most people who live in warm climates like Guatemala, Mexico, Hawaii, Greece, etc. Use bright colors for the outside of their houses.

Interesting building method. One worry - I didn't see anything much holding the blocks together other than gravity and possibly some cement. Pieces of rebar would go a long way toward adding structural integrity for during storms that throw debris at the walls. At first I thought the green was SOO BRIGHT, but it seems to adjust a little when seen in larger scenes.

Susoul Cats, the area it is built in is actually in a village, with several neighbors and houses around. I specifically selected a place where I didn't have to cut a single tree! Quite the opposite, I planted many new ones :) I also worked exclusively with local craftsmen and aircrete structures have a much lower environmental impact than regular concrete structures.

Wow, that's a nice home and it looks good. Good luck building such a thing in the US, with the crippling amount of permits and regulations required here, prices are artificially inflated more than 3fold what they should be, if you ever get the chance to build it in the first place. Some times I wish we had a constitutional amendment to place limits on amount of regulations and codes cities and counties can burden people with...

Obviously. Anyone can write an article on BoredPanda, it will bubble to the frontpage if enough clicked/upvoted... so it's a smart & free advertising campaign; even if not directly linked it's easy to find from the description.

Thanks Saint V., the green color actually it blends in nicely with the surrounding jungle. And I worked with locals only on the construction. They did an incredible job.

Not my style but I can appreciate the craftsmanship, time and effort this took. I do absoutely LOVE the windows and glass door though, they are stunning.
