Costa Rica Athletic Center Is Its Own Village Among the Trees

Within the coastal city of Nosara, Costa Rica, Studio Saxe designed an athletic middle that’s cocooned inside a forest of bushes. With an natural, irregular program of volumes that fill the areas between the present bushes and wildlife, the bushes had been in a position to continue to grow and The Athletic Heart was in a position to nestle near the present vegetation.

The construction is constructed from prefabricated light-weight metal after which assembled on the property. This body was then clad in reforested teak wooden for added sturdiness. An extended roof overhang protects the inside from the solar and collects water for reuse within the constructing.
