Abstract
This paper presents the design and structural analysis of a housing prototype intended for rugged terrain. The design development process has been conceived to allow for construction using various technologies and building systems in certified wood, complying with Spanish regulations, given that the proposal was presented and reviewed in Spain. However, its adaptation to tropical climates has been considered, specifically to the Central American region, where the author originally conceptualized the design. It should be noted that the main focus of this development is the method of calculating an architectural idea and how technical feasibility is achieved through structural analysis, with both architectural and structural design exercises complementing each other.
