Inside a Real Client Meeting: Finishes Stage Escamequita Nicaragua | Raul Lopez Architect

Today, I’m meeting with my client Dominic from Canada as we finalize one of the most important stages of his home-building journey in Nicaragua: material selection. In this meeting, we review the final finishes and textures that will define the look, durability, and performance of his future home. I also share the recommendations I make based on my experience designing luxury tropical homes and explain why choosing the right materials is critical when building in Nicaragua’s coastal environment.
