Santa Maria

 

The Santa Maria farm is located to the east of the city of Tetucigalpa, Honduras. The approximately 1000 acre property has a unique and complex topography that rises and falls, creating a series of hilltops and valleys. Approximately nineteen percent of the property is located in the transition area of La Tigra National Park. This area will be reforested and protected so that it serves in perpetuity as an area of natural conservation.

Santa Maria will be a complete town, creating a new center for the east end of the city. The master plan takes advantage of the unique topography to create a series of compact, walkable, hilltop neighborhoods with a full range of uses and housing types, while preserving all the important environmental features of the site. The project was designed in collaboration with Castillo Arquitectos and Milt Rhodes.
