Award-winning, Luxury Modern Home Architecture in Costa Rica

As leading Costa Rica Architects, we already know why so many successful people escape to Costa Rica, and build modern luxury homes here. Costa Rica is often called the happiest country in the world. Everywhere you will hear our unofficial national slogan “Pura Vida.” In Spanish, it translates to Pure Life, and here in Costa Rica, it symbolizes our simple, relaxed and pure enjoyment of life.


At SARCO Architects, we have our own slogan, “Puro Lujo,” which translates to Pure Luxury. It symbolizes our simple and easy approach to helping you design and build the luxury home of your dreams. A home that transcends beauty and simplicity to take you and your family away from the chaos and stress of the daily grind to crystal waters, fresh, clean air, and glowing sunsets.

“Roderick is a rare combination of a true artist with the capabilities of an engineer and manager. The whole process of building the house was a pleasure, we loved the client/architect collaboration and it was as smooth a process as it could be. Roderick’s use of technology from the design and computer modeling to the progress report and billing is world class (way better than what our architect and builder in NY is using)! During the whole project we may have visited Papagayo 5 or 6 times but always felt that we had a good sense of all aspects of project status."
