Loop is a certified B Corporation architecture and design studio based in Costa Rica. We design spaces shaped by their immediate environment, local climate, and the human experience.

hospitality architecture in Costa Rica

Our Approach

We design and document thoughtful architecture and the surrounding landscape. Every project begins with an entry level analysis of the land, focusing on local wind patterns, solar orientation, native vegetation, and natural movement. Our objective is to deliver buildings that maintain thermal comfort without relying heavily on mechanical cooling, age naturally in tropical environments, and maintain a functional relationship with the ground they occupy.

Hospitality Design Projects

Our hospitality work focuses on balancing guest experience with operational efficiency. By responding to the specific traits of each location, we create spaces that provide natural comfort and respect the true character of the region.

sendero hotel

Located in Nosara on the former site of Mamma Rosa Hotel, home of the first beach cabinas in the area. The architectural proposal integrates existing local structures with native gardens to establish a close connection with the forest and water, providing a functional, serene space for surfers and travelers.

Integrated into the hillsides of Nosara, Costa Rica, the Maloca Dome is a dedicated space for gathering, movement, and reflection. Conceived as a center for yoga, meditation, and collective practices, the structure invites people to connect with the immediate natural surroundings and the local community.

Core Capabilities for Hospitality Developers

  • Bioclimatic Engineering
    We translate environmental data into architectural features. By calculating correct roof overhangs, building orientation, and cross ventilation paths, we reduce long term energy consumption and operational costs for hotel owners.

  • Technical Rigor and Documentation
    A great concept requires flawless execution. Our studio produces detailed construction blueprints and technical specifications that streamline the local municipal permitting process and prevent costly misinterpretations during the building phase.

  • Accountable Sustainability
    As a certified B Corporation with expertise in international standards like LEED and WELL, we approach sustainability through measurable metrics. We select materials based on durability, local availability, and low maintenance requirements under tropical conditions.
