Hacienda San Rafael

WE COMPLETED THE HACIENDA SAN RAFAEL PROJECT IN 2023, THIS REPRESENTED THE ESSENCE OF OUR PILLARS

‍

The project involved designing the pool and social area of the house, as well asimporting unique materials from places such as Bali to complete the finishes of thehouse.‍“When we first started dreaming about our project, we knew that we needed thebest vendors to make our dream a reality. We found our inspiration on Pinterest, butwe knew that it would be difficult to find the same or similar products in CostaRica. Fortunately, I had been following Bio-Tile Group's Instagram page for a fewyears and had seen all the incredible projects they had completed, so I knew Iwanted to work with them. To my surprise, they offered a range of high-qualityforeign products that fit perfectly with my needs. They provided woods, limestones,marble, and even a custom-made bathtub that was shipped from Indonesia, whichhas become a stunning piece of art in our home.” – The Client‍‍

DESIGN‍

The project presented a significant challenge as the client requested a gym, BBQarea, jacuzzi, and fire pit that would be integrated with the pool but separate. Thevolumes of the house had to be synchronized with the property's topography, andthe aesthetic balance had to be in synergy with the environment's panoramic viewof the city. Our director took the lead of this challenging project, and our teamworked closely with lead architect Javier Vargas of the architecture firm ArquidezS. A. to create a clean, organic design that bridged the gap between theconceptual and the real. Materials such as Limestone, green quartzite, marble, andwood were used to connect the spaces and maintain a harmonious balance.
