This estate home was constructed from the finest materials and systems outlined as follows:
With the challenge of building a quality home in Latin America the original owner stayed on-site throughout the construction in order to lead the crew towards creating a quality built structure. All rebar is oversized, extra “trusses” were used in the roof structure, and all plumbing and electric were installed correctly in both sizing and location. High quality moisture block primer & paint were used to avoid the issue of blistering in humid climates. All openings (doors and windows) have columns on both sides and oversized headers. Fireplaces have “smoke shelves” to avoid back drafting.
There is full-attic access throughout allowing for simple modifications of lighting, installation of home theater systems etc. All exterior ceilings are tongue & groove PVC wood-grain eliminating moisture damage potential. All exterior wall bases are side walked or terrace allowing all weather access around the house under a 1 meter soffit overhang. The terrace is dry throughout the rainy season. There are 12 exterior soft-light fixtures as well as 4 motion activated 2-lamp security lights.
Home includes a full security system operated by remote controls avoiding the “key-code” hassle, or alternatively by use of keypads in front entry and master bedroom. There is an “at-home” function allowing separation of the master bedroom area from the active zones.
Windows: all Durman double-pane “tip & swing or oscilobatiente” style multi-lock design. These windows operate in 2 directions, either tip-in from the top or swing open from the side for a full-open setting. The frames are extruded, wood-grain PVC. With the double panes and PVC, exterior noise is muted. The manufacturer claims a lifetime warranty.
Electric (general): every room has dimmable overhead recessed lighting, including baths. The entire house is protected with a Cutler-Hammer Whole House Surge Protector, the highest rated in the market. There are 4 floor outlets in the living room for table lamps etc.
Plumbing (general): Hot water is supplied by two 48 gallon Bradford White high efficiency heaters, one outside the master bath wall for fast delivery of hot water and the second in the water filtration/storage room supplying the laundry, guest baths and kitchen. All faucets & showerheads are Delta, and the 4 vanities are custom made integral exposed aggregate by the Design Studio in Panama City which uses the homes’ guest bedroom Sonrisa sink on its website. There is a 650 gallon water storage tank for emergency use , 3 sediment filters + activated carbon filter, ultra-violet purifier, silver ion refrigerator & island tap ceramic filters. Exterior garden water is separated from the filtered interior use water, with 100 +- psi pressure allowing total watering of garden areas w/4 zone auto sprinkler system (100% coverage, no need for any hand watering). The pressure reduction valve is set for 70 psi tap pressure for interior use. This can be raised or lowered, however this pressure allows for multi-tap use simultaneously.
