Playa Grande, Costa Rica

JWT was approached by the ”then” marketing director of Reserva Conchal who had located a 1,200 acre site for a new residential community just a few kilometer’s from Costa Rica’s Playa Grande, a national park and world  famous surfing and ecological beach zone and estuary. He required a vision for the land. The resulting master plan envisioned a low key ecological sound community primarily of single family homes located both at the base of the hillside site as well as up on the hillsides located with the dry tropical forest. JWT came up with the architectural concepts for the arrival sequence and amenity center and worked with the local civil engineering partners DEHC in directing them on where and how the vehicular and pedestrian road and trail networks should be located. This community is now at near build out. The homes are designed in a very contemporary way with a consistency in roof colors and materials, and sensitivity to each individual site. This is one of several Costa Rican master plans which have been completed by JWT.
