Architecture Design + Build Guanacaste, CR
This is what you came for.
Guanacaste.
Let us help you get there.
Guanacaste is extreme. The heat. The rain. The salt. The light. That's exactly why people fall for it β and exactly why what you build here has to be designed for it. Not imported. Not assumed. Learned.

The Philosophy
Guanacaste is extreme. That's exactly why people fall in love with it.
The heat here is different. The rain is different. The dust, the salt air, the way the sun hits a west-facing wall at 4pm in April β different. Even Ticos who've built all their lives in Costa Rica come to Guanacaste and learn new lessons.
We've spent 7 years learning this place specifically β on top of 20 years of construction experience across the country. We know what materials survive the dry season and which ones don't make it through the first rains. We know how to orient a house so the afternoon breeze does the work before you touch the AC. We know what the climate will destroy and what it will reward.
And we know what you're really building for: the howler monkeys with your morning coffee, and the way everything just drops. The sunsets. The beach. The quiet that settles in after 6pm.
All of it is worth building for. We make sure what you build is worthy of it.
What We Do
You've already chosen Guanacaste. Now choose how we build it together.
Design Only
You have your team. We give them a blueprint built for this climate β not a beautiful design that Guanacaste will quietly destroy within two years.
Build Only
Your plans are ready. We build them with the materials and methods we'd use on our own homes β because this climate doesn't forgive shortcuts.
Design + Build
You focus on the life. We handle everything β from first sketch to the morning you wake up and the howler monkeys are already outside your window.
Featured Work
50+ projects across residential and commercial β each one designed and built for the Guanacaste coastal climate.
Casa Cielo
Casa Cielo opens to the Guanacaste horizon with clean, generous volumes β wide interiors, soft transitions between inside and outside, and a material palette that ages with dignity under the coastal sun.

Built for the climate,
not against it.
Four principles the Guanacaste coast enforces β whether your architect knows them or not. Ours do.
The People Behind Kaste
Miguel & Andrés
Your team is a full ecosystem of specialists: structural, electrical, electromechanical, and landscape engineers. Architects. Realtors who know every lot in Guanacaste. Property managers if you need someone watching your home when you're not here.
This isn't a two-person operation. It's a network built over 20 years of working together on this coast β the same people, the same standards, project after project.
How We Work
From your first conversation to delivered keys β we hold your hand through every step, especially if you've never built in Costa Rica before.
Consultation
We start with a conversation β your vision, your budget, your timeline. If you have land, we evaluate it. If you don't, we help you find it. We have friends.
Design
Custom architectural design adapted to the Guanacaste climate. Renders, floor plans, material selections β all reviewed together until it's exactly right.
Permits
We handle all municipal permits, engineering approvals, and regulatory requirements. No bureaucratic surprises β we know the system.
Construction
Our crew builds with materials and techniques proven for 20+ years in this climate. Regular updates and site visits keep you informed at every phase.
Finishing
Interior design, landscaping, final details. Everything is inspected and perfected before you see it. We don't deliver until it's right.
Delivery
Keys in your hand. Walk-through, documentation, and warranty. Your home is ready β and built to last in Guanacaste.
What Our Clients Say
The attention to detail and post-completion support exceeded every expectation. They didn't just build our house β they made sure we were completely satisfied long after the keys were handed over.
Building in a foreign country felt overwhelming until we started working with this team. They handled everything β permits, materials, timelines β and kept us informed at every step. Our home turned out better than we imagined.
The craftsmanship is exceptional. Every corner of Villa Luna reflects a deep understanding of how to build for this climate. Two years in and everything still looks and performs like day one.
Let's Talk
You don't need to have it all figured out. Just tell us where you are β we've seen every stage of this.
