Text description provided by the architects. In the beginning the hotel was a residence over time was transformed into a bed & breakfast and later in what is today. One of the main features is the purity of their materials, wood from fallen trees on the farm; stone walls blended with modern architecture are shaping the facades of the project. The remodeling and expansion generated by Carazo Architects, was the result of the earthquake that affected the area in early 2009, destroying 80% of the building, an earthquake of magnitude 6.9 degrees on the Richter scale was centered 3 km online straight away. As pioneers of sustainable architecture in Costa Rica, all material was reused as possible to the destroyed hotel, metal, wood, floors are part of the group that was studying to generate the new proposal.
