Salagnac Arquitectos
We are an architecture company based in Guanacaste, Costa Rica, with a developed Contemporary Tropical Style that unify nature, climate and human comfort.
Evangelina Quesada and Lucca Spendlingwimmer, architects trained and graduated in Costa Rica, founded Salagnac Architects in Nosara in 2006 with the intention of supporting construction projects that develop and contribute to the evolution of Contemporary Tropical Architecture.
For Salagnac Architects, Contemporary Tropical Architecture promotes the maximum integration of the building and the environment, in order to diminish the impact it causes on nature. In this type of architecture, human comfort can be accomplished by means of efficient energy consumption systems, bioclimatic design strategies and advanced technology. This innovative architecture integrates, in a creative way, the environment, technology and aesthetics.
