Container Home
Casita de Frutas
A one-of-a-kind container home in Loíza, Puerto Rico, steps from the beach — the only Lepute microhome with a fully indoor bathroom.
Loíza, Puerto Rico
Four Unusual Microhomes.
One Beachside Property.
Lepute is a small hospitality project on a quiet, fruit-tree-covered lot in Loíza, Puerto Rico. Four completely different, hand-built microhomes share the same property — each one its own architectural experiment: a converted shipping container, a converted van parked under a mango tree, an eight-sided cave-inspired structure, and a real boat rebuilt into a vivid pink home. All four sit less than a 2-minute walk from the beach.
