This made me emotional to watch and it speaks home. My parents raised me in a house they dreamed up themselves, my father designed it and went to work. He always says he lives in his sculpture. Your house, the dream you materialized, speaks to me a lot and I thank you for sharing it with us. I know one day I will do the same, I always felt it in my heart that I would build an unconventional house one day, in connection with Nature, as we are meant to live.
Wow, you did it! Amazing job. I wish you all the joy, peace and luck in the world! I love the nature and the home, you built from scratch. Very impressive.
Yeah this is insane, I think you sound tired and dreary yet your soul comes through in your art/building. One does become this way after a life of service. Awesome to see you taking it all into your own hands now and creating something undeniable to anyone, unique and distinctly beautiful. These videos are nice because you enjoy the fuits of labour not seen. I'm sure this was a challenge.
He doesn't sound tired or dreary at all. He just sounds relaxed and at peace. Maybe you just don't understand the difference because you think the anxious and neurotic people of "civilization" are what humans are supposed to be like.
@@mylesanthony8672what a lovely way to respond to what might be read as a slightly confrontational comment. …With gentleness and openness and reflective wondering. Bless you. 🙏🏽✨❤️
Well done, I have just completed my land deal, but Im also bringing a 40 foot RV bus from a local ex-pat friend who just finished using it while finishing their own house on the same road as my land. (next door in fact), so I embark on my minature version of this as a 55 year old single man, in January, when my lease ends here in the states and I'm done with the next 6 weeks of final preparations to embark on the journey to my little home on the side of volcano Miravelles, in Bijagua de Upala. Your video was inspiring, and aspirational, to say the very least.
Love the video, the voice of the Arch. and his narrative of his background and life choices/decisions to partake in in the journey of having a dream home, the shots done by Carl to immerse the viewer in this magical home and it's surrounding. Would like the credits of music/soundtrack chosen for the video
So loved your video dear Nils. Its wonderful and such hard work all coming together. A beautiful home and a wonderful dream come true. Wishing you every joy and hope to visit when I get back 😘🙏
Amazing place! I love how the spaces especially the outdoor areas are designed to welcome people and enjoy with friends (the bar, the ciné…) Awesome video! Salut from Jacó
Great outcome to break away from the system and live your life the way it should be free. I’m coming down to see if Costa Rica is for me since I want out of Canada.
Very nice man... I watched the whole thing. Lots of nice drone and gimbal shots... i woulda been super nervous flying through the trees like that haha.
Really? Hum……for some, yes. In reality for some, too. I live wide open like he does, truly a delight and seasonal annoyances, but paradise for 80% of the time. Now when I am in NOLA, other things ruin my illusion of the good ol days! Everything in life is perception and perspective, I prefer the price of paradise…to the sublime American Dream. Hugs from Lares, PR
Very inspiring as I’m planning something similar on my lot. Ive loved the idea of building with bamboo but I’m unsure of how it’ll hold up in the central pacific zone. I’d love to connect and talk about your build if you are willing and able. Pura vida mae
Eu ouvi falar que a Costa Rica está com problemas de insegurança e desisti de ir á Costa Rica. Gostava de ver um video que falasse com transparencia e honestidade sobre o que pode se tornar perigoso quando vamos à Costa Rica. O que devemos fazer para tudo correr bem na viagem á costa rica?
Beautiful place if i lived there i would be naked half the time like iam now Bill skinnertt is a friend of mine in costa rico do u know him or heard of him he could be dead but last known home was in costa rica
People never talk about the quantity of insects in places like that particularly ants..sometimes millions of army ants come through a house..literally millions.
@@TheRootedBlueprint tripocal forests are full of insects,,,lots of spiders, lots of ants,,super abandance of ants..dpending on mosquitos...which is why the natives make clearings
Yes, well in the tropical mountains people usually live on ridge tops, most trees get cleared. There more mosquito s the lower U go towards the creeks. Of course a little breeze there as well. Planting fruit trees right.. and a vista. This can make water a problem. Water by gravity. Roof water is great but what do do if U have a week without rain? In the Amazon flat lands they'd live right next to rivers on stilts. This will depend of course, but insects and wind are considerations. If u can stand spiders consider changing plans. Snakes are not a issue.
After living in California, it makes sense why you wanted to leave the USA so badly. Enjoy Costa Rica, the land of Pura Vida, where we still care about our values and morals.
My kids spent 6 weeks in Costa Rica years ago. I checked out the government website, and it states that squatters have 17 years to live on your property, or in your home if they move in. Wild right? that is a long long time. Then this sad fact was confirmed by a coworker (I’m in FL), who said her partner is Costa Rican and he lost his Costa Rican property to squatters bc of this law. So indeed, it’s def true.
This home gave me such feelings of pure calm and freedom. This is how we should be living.
Its hard to believe, looking at my place, that we live on the same planet. That was Magic!

He stated that it was an arduous journey! Embarking on an overall life change is bound to leave one exhausted which I’m certain is worth it.
Great story, great dream realised! Congrats! ♥🙏

@@fakename5405 really well thanks. I've already been in Costa Rica for a month and everything is going great.
Awesome! I have lived near the beach in Guanacaste for 13 years. I can enjoy both the beach, and drive a short distance to the Central Valley.
Beautiful
So beautiful am green with envy!

Pure Inspiration!
Wow 👏that’s amazing!
Love this ❤
Amazing ... Beautiful
The mosquitos 🦟 and the big cats! What do you do about jaguars? Looks too open if you leave food out arent you concerned about big cats?
This is so peaceful. Are there no bugs in Costa Rica though?
Great success 👊🏼
You’re living the dream 😍
Truly inspirational
points for creativity!
Real Tarzan 👍👍👍
The mosquitos ruin every illusion of paradise, sad but true.

Hugging you back from my jungle garden in the Bolivian Amazon.
@@ricknico2577 Bolivia! Preciosa!
Experienced that as well. Bugs bugs bugs…😣
It seems like you found paradise
Dig it.
Me and family are working out way down there.
Don't
@@radfem28 Why do you say that?
Gentrification
@@Asscrackistanit's not that easy. It's not that safe. And it's not that affordable
Don't listen to the naysayers- DO IT - take the risk
Great.thank for sharing.just starting filming.
Good for you, what type of things are you filming?
love it
Any chance of some plans and sections?
This is my dream to build my house like this
Very inspiring as I’m planning something similar on my lot. Ive loved the idea of building with bamboo but I’m unsure of how it’ll hold up in the central pacific zone. I’d love to connect and talk about your build if you are willing and able. Pura vida mae
No response from the guy, that's b.s.
I'd love to connect over this topic though. Sharing that dream too
I wish I was there 😊
✌️👊🙏🏼🇨🇷from Heredia
well done
Im spellbound. Its a dream
You have life life I dream about every day. How do I get from here to there?
Do you have a mosquito problem? Or how did you handle it?

How did you find a property like this?
That Chica looks amazing! Haha

Beautiful job! I want one in CR also. Any good land connections?
It's not that easy
What about poisonous snakes, spiders and scorpions? This house is completely open to these potentially dangerous creatures.
This is the good good life
This is beautiful how much did this cost?
Beautiful place if i lived there i would be naked half the time like iam now Bill skinnertt is a friend of mine in costa rico do u know him or heard of him he could be dead but last known home was in costa rica
I know an Island
They provide all amenities real cheap as hell
You can even live there with little to no cost.
XXLnt !
I was born in Costa Rica and I'm currently traveling the world in north of Australia at the moment but the true is there NOT place like Costa Rica
People never talk about the quantity of insects in places like that particularly ants..sometimes millions of army ants come through a house..literally millions.
Yes i wish they did talk about the downs. I'm so scared it's gonna be full of ants, mosquitos, tickd, spiders
