Casa de Valor (KAH-sah deh vah-LOR)
Dante and Dante's Home
Casa de Valor stands as a robust testament to the vigorous lives of its inhabitants, blending European architectural solidity with the colorful vibrance of South American design. The exterior is crafted with sturdy, aged stone, typical of historic European constructions, accented with bright, painted tiles and textiles reminiscent of Andean culture.
Inside, Casa de Valor features high, beamed ceilings and open spaces that facilitate movement and interaction—essential for two men whose lives revolve around physical and mental exertion. The decor includes rustic wooden furniture combined with colorful woven fabrics, creating an environment that is both energizing and grounding. Artefacts from both European and South American cultures adorn the walls, celebrating the rich heritage of both Dantes.
The grounds of Casa de Valor are designed to cater to their athletic lifestyles, featuring a variety of outdoor training areas, including a track and a rugged obstacle course that mimics the Andean trails. Additionally, there is a quiet study, lined with books and ancient texts, providing a space for contemplation and philosophical study under the stars.
