Luxury Lifestyle Awards names Sarco Architects to World's Top 100

The prestigious Luxury Lifestyle Awards (LLA) has named SARCO Architects to its exclusive list of the world's Top 100 architects and designers for 2022. SARCO Architects is the only Costa Rican firm to achieve this honor.


SARCO Architects was founded in 1972. Roderick Anderson, took over the firm while still in architecture school, after the sudden and tragic passing of his father.


On receiving the news that SARCO Architects had been recognized to the TOP 100 List, Roderick said, “This is a very proud moment for my team, my family, and for me. I know that my father would be very proud of what we have achieved. I have always been guided by my father's values — honesty, hard work, and a compelling desire to delight our clients. This recognition is a great representation and validation of our core principles."

Peninsula Papagayo is a popular destination for high net worth individuals and families who enjoy year-round sunshine, average temperatures between 75-95° F, exclusive beaches and mountain landscapes, along with world-class amenities and services, golf courses, marinas, spas, restaurants and much more.


SARCO Architects’ designs have introduced an exciting new aesthetic to the scenic tropical cliff sides of Costa Rica's Guanacaste province. The firm's projects consistently bring together exquisite taste, comfort, and functionality while maintaining an elevated sense of refinement that this exclusive destination is known for throughout the world. 

Over the past 15 years, the Luxury Lifestyle Awards has developed standards to effectively evaluate and select the world's best architecture and design firms. SARCO Architects has previously been recognized for individual projects, including Casa Aramara and Villa Serena, and  was honored to be recognized as Costa Rica's Best Luxury Architect Studio in 2021 and 2022, but this is the first time the firm has been named to the World's Top 100 List.


The Luxury Lifestyle Awards takes into consideration criteria such as individual approach to each project, attention to clients’ needs, unique design style, use of advanced technologies and much more. The organization has curated a list that celebrates the cream of the crop when it comes to architects and designers from around the world.

SARCO Architects has proven that their expertise and experience is truly invaluable for anyone wanting to create a unique luxury home in Costa Rica. Every detail of a SARCO designed home  is crafted with care so that those who inhabit it can enjoy a luxurious lifestyle filled with beauty, comfort, efficiency, and personal meaning.
