Quincha House

Quincha houses are traditional Panamanian constructions that date back to colonial times. Using a framework of wood or intertwined reeds, covered with a mixture of mud and straw. 

The clay is prepared in an artisanal way, mixing it with water and kneading it with your feet until the desired consistency is obtained. 

This mud is applied in successive layers on the framework. Between the layers, a mud joint is incorporated, a technique that reinforces the union and stability of the mixture, ensuring a durable and well-insulated structure. Although less common today, quincha houses remain a symbol of traditional Panamanian architecture.
