These are two very different projects, each with very definite and unique design strategies.

Bartlett Residence – SARCO Architects Costa Rica

The Bartlett Residence, a project entirely designed and built by SARCO Architects Costa Rica, is a residence located on a very steep property.  An elevated structure built on concrete piers of varying heights play an integral role, together with the exposed steel structure that features inclined columns.  These are designed primarily to achieve support points higher up the slope, they added a visual presence that give the home a very distinct style.

Cielo Mar Residence – SARCO Architects Costa Rica

On the other hand, the Cielo Mar Residence was a collaboration project with New York – based architecture firm Barnes Coy Architects, a house built on a rocky plateau, with spectacular sunset views to the Pacific Ocean.  A very modern design, the main feature of the house is its arcing roofline that spans the entire width of the property, an extremely complex geometrical shape and a huge challenge for construction.  The complement to this curving roofline is the bridge, which cantilevers over the swimming pool, a design conceived as a type of suspension structure, the tip of the bridge cantilevering over eight meters away from the last support columns.  SARCO Architects Costa Rica is very proud to have collaborated on the design and construction of this incredibly challenging and rewarding project.
