Carazo Arquitectura is a San José practice founded in 2005, with its office on Avenida 8 in the city centre and a team led by architect Rodrigo Carazo. It reports more than 330 projects and design proposals across housing, hospitality, institutional, workplace, mixed-use and masterplanning work, in Costa Rica and abroad. Recent built houses include Casa Calma in Nosara and Casa Anahata in Escazú.
The studio treats each project as research into how culture, climate, technology and nature can produce new building models instead of repeating established types. Biophilic strategies such as interior gardens, filtered light and cross-ventilation recur in its houses.
