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.
Salagnac Architects offers its clients a personalized and exclusive service. Each project is unique and inimitable, carefully developed from architectonic analysis and research.
The constant search for alternative construction materials and systems allows Salagnac Architects to develop projects with a high level of design and spatial quality.

A Bioclimatic study is done for every of our draft designs, this is a detailed analysis of the environmental components of the property where the project will be located. This information is later used to make our projects more adapted to the climate and environmentally friendly.
A 3D presentation will be done to present to our clients the design and project concept.
Blue Prints
A complete set of plans to be approved for construction permits must include a site location, architectural, structural, mechanical and electrical plans. Each set of plans comes with a documentation of specifications, depending on the complexity of the project.
The construction permits depend on the type and size of each individual project.Our services include obtaining the required permits.
