Building Your Villa
 Beams for what is called the first floor roof in the master bedroom
 10 ft. Master Bedroom roof
 Beams go up in Kitchen
 You can see how the patio arches are made. After the concrete drys the blocks are removed and the arch is formed.
 Patio Arch on the right is drying. Next the blocks will be removed. Note again the elevation of Casa Maria off grade. Guillermo will tie the ocean wall into this corner of Casa Marias patio foundation.
 Second floor bedroom floors & view
 Second floor bathroom floor. Concrete I beams go in place then the concrete blocks are fit in between the I beams, concrete is then poured over the top.
 We are paying extra to have the floors made with a 16" grid of 1/2 inch rebar..for extra strength
 After the 16 inch grid is in place they pour 4 inch of concrete, so there is 2 inch of concrete above and below the 1/2 inch rebar
 View of the south side of Casa Maria, glass block will be used here for some windows. Large covered patio will help keep out the driving rain.
 Stair Landing on the Second Floor, Open to Floor Below
 Ocean side patios, still needs ocean wall and steps.
 Entry of house, the windows in the stair still need to be cut out from the block
 This is 2ed story roof. This is how Guillermo ties in the roof to the walls. Note the rebar extending out of the concrete beam.
 View of 2ed floor bedroom & Caribbean Sea
 2ed floor landing. Open Stairs with iron railing will go up to roof and down to the 1st floor.
 View to the south from the 2ed floor bedroom
 View from bedroom looking north at other villas
 The Roof is on - Next is the 16"x16" 1/2" rebar grid that cost extra to reinforce the roof and tie into the walls. Making the house kind of like a bird cage. Guillermo says this is the strongest built house on the Costa Maya to date! I still don't want to test mother nature!
 Here is the 16"x16" grid to tie everything in (a must)
 Note the overlap of the rebar and how it gets tied into the side wall
 The roof is poured and rebar stands in the center where one of four concrete columns will stand to support the concrete palapa Guillermo has designed. Look at the view from the roofs sitting area!
