Residencia Chavarria stands in Puntarenas, Puntarenas Province, Costa Rica, as a low, porous house by Carazo Arquitectura that trades thick walls for garden-filled thresholds. Composed around an interior courtyard and wrapped in modular brick, the home reads as a continuous exchange between enclosure and vegetation. Shifting between open and sheltered zones, it reworks domestic life for a humid coastal climate and lets everyday routines unfold in tandem with light, air, and greenery.

Introducing Achioté, the stunning vacation rental villas located on a hill overgrown with a jungle near Uvita town, Puntarenas, Costa Rica. Designed by FormaFatal in 2022, Achioté is the first “rammed earth” implementation in Costa Rica.
