How Salagnac Arquitectos Connects With Nature Through Architecture
With Lucca Spendlingwimmer & Evangelina Quesada
Dive into nature during this inspiring session with award-winning Costa Rican firm Salagnac Arquitectos, as founders Evangelina Quesada and Lucca Spendlingwimmer explain the creative process behind their stunning, sustainable brand of architecture.
This innovative firm, winning of multiple A+Award accolades in recent years, topped the jury vote in the XL Private House category for their remarkable regenerative residence, Loma Sagrada House. Perched high above the trees, this home is an exemplar in wood detailing and contextual design, and showcases the unique design language that Salagnac Arquitectos has become known for.
By attending this talk, you'll learn:
- How Salagnac Arquitectos craft beautiful homes in sensitive tropical environments
- How the carefully considered selection of materials is key to creating sustainable projects.
- How well-crafted architecture can enhance the health and well-being of its occupants
We'll also be getting hyped up for Season 13 of Architizer's A+Awards program, which launches this October — register now to make sure your firm is a part of it this year!
About Lucca Spendlingwimmer & Evangelina Quesada
Evangelina Quesada and Lucca Spendlingwimmer, architects trained and graduated in Costa Rica, founded Salagnac Architects in Nosara in 2006 with the intention of supporting construction projects that develop and contribute to the evolution of Contemporary Tropical Architecture.
For Salagnac Architects, Contemporary Tropical Architecture promotes the maximum integration of the building and the environment, in order to diminish the impact it causes on nature. In this type of architecture, human comfort can be accomplished by means of efficient energy consumption systems, bioclimatic design strategies and advanced technology. This innovative architecture integrates, in a creative way, the environment, technology and aesthetics.
Salagnac Architects offers its clients a personalized and exclusive service. Each project is unique and inimitable, carefully developed from architectonic analysis and research. The constant search for alternative construction materials and systems allows Salagnac Architects to develop projects with a high level of design and spatial quality.
