Cement Tiles
The Glitch House nestles into the jungle further inland from the Retreat House at Casa Las Olas. The small structure provides both guest accommodations as well as necessary landscape and maintenance workspaces for the overall property.
The building’s exterior is clad in encaustic cement tiles handmade in the Dominican Republic. The simple quarter-arc pattern of each tile interferes with the shadows and graphic legibility of the staggered concrete block walls to vibrating, oscillating effect.
The Glitch House is the first structure a guest sees upon arriving at Casa Las Olas. Rather than marking this moment with a defined boundary or gatehouse, the Glitch House strangely smears itself into the jungle landscape and hints towards the immersive experiences that guide the design for the retreat in general.
