Our Services
Architectural Design
- A team driven by original thinking.
We believe every project carries a character of its own—something impossible to replicate. At 23, we bring that character to life through design solutions that feel authentic and unmistakably unique. Each proposal responds to its surroundings, purpose, operational needs, and the experience it seeks to create, resulting in spaces that are personal, memorable, and distinct across hospitality, residential, and commercial settings. - A multidisciplinary team working as one
Our studio brings together architects, interior designers, structural specialists, and electromechanical engineers within a single, coordinated ecosystem. This integrated way of working allows each discipline to contribute from the beginning, strengthening the project’s technical foundation and ensuring a seamless transition from concept to construction. The result is a more efficient process and spaces that function as well as they look. - From concept to construction clarity.
Design decisions that anticipate the build. Our architectural process is developed with construction in mind. Materials, systems, and spatial solutions are defined early to ensure accurate budgets, fewer changes during execution, and a smoother on-site process. - Regulatory and permitting guidance.
Solid experience navigatingenvironmental and construction approvals. We support clients through the entire permitting process, including environmental documentation (SETENA), municipal approvals, and construction licensing. This ensures faster approvals and fewer setbacks.
Project Construction
- Turn - Key Solutions
A fully integrated turn-key construction service, handling every stage of the project with precision, transparency, and the highest standards of quality. From planning and budgeting to technical direction, specialty coordination, on-site supervision, supplier management, scheduling, and final delivery, we take full responsibility for the entire construction process. This allows our clients to enjoy a seamless, stress-free experience, with a single, trusted team overseeing the project from concept to completion.
Our turn-key approach ensures:
- Faithful execution of the original design
- Full control of costs and timelines
- High construction standards
- Efficient solutions to on-site challenges
We deliver fully finished spaces, built under strict quality control and ready for immediate operation. - Context-Driven Tropical Modern Construction
At 23 Arquitectura, we have extensive experience building in Costa Rica’s highly dynamic tropical environment. Our construction approach is specifically adapted to local climate conditions, ensuring durability, thermal comfort, proper ventilation, and long-term performance for every project.
We specialize in tropical modern architecture that responds to its natural context, combining clean contemporary design with construction systems and materials that react intelligently to humidity, rainfall, heat, and jungle or coastal conditions.
Our team ensures:
- High construction quality adapted to tropical conditions
- Technical control throughout every stage of the process
- Fluid execution and efficient on-site coordination
- Long-term durability through proper material selection
The result is architecture that not only looks modern and refined, but also performs flawlessly within Costa Rica’s demanding climate.
