The place
Since 1946
The first house among the pines.
In 1946, the painter Juan Balsach travelled along the eastern coast and decided to build a house in Punta del Este, back then a remote place. The place to be was Piriápolis; here there was nothing but sand, pines and the sea.
That house, the first one among the pines, was home to many holidays with family and friends, gatherings, traditions, stories and memories. It never had a television. It was the place to switch off from everything and be with nature and with each other, always with the door open.
Family and friends passed through it for years, until the Punta del Este property boom made the family look for another place with the same spirit. That is how Rincón del Indio appeared, a neighbourhood that still keeps the old pine forests of Punta del Este.
The soul of the house lives on there: the same wish to welcome people, to take care of the bonds between them, and the artistic spirit of Juan Balsach.
They used to be containers.
Every Eco Box was a shipping container. We insulated them, fitted double glazing and brought them to the forest.
Between La Barra and La Brava.
Rincón del Indio, stop 32 of La Brava. The sea and the Maldonado stream, each a ten-minute walk away. Pine forest all around.
