ADVENTUROUS. INVESTED. SOPHISTICATED. Redefining real estate development in Costa Rica

MICHAEL HIMES Founder and president of the largest petroleum wholesaler in the world, Michael is a native of the state of Indiana, a political science graduate, an army veteran, an explorer and natural adventurer. His thirst for new horizons has taken him around the world, but it was only after discovering the purity of the Costa Rica experience that he decided that this is where he would leave his legacy, establishing Axiom Development Group to share the treasure he had found with others. BLAKE DELATTE A designer and landscape architect by trade, Blake is an ardent student of the natural world, creating a design and development philosophy that is fundamentally anchored in the integration of culture, environment and community. His work at EDSA, one of the world’s foremost planning companies, resulted in iconic urban centers, luxury resort properties and intimate eco-retreats. As a founding partner of Axiom and resident of Costa Rica, his philosophy is woven into the fabric of every project they undertake.

Like most developed economies, Costa Rica is not immune to the rises and falls of the global market, yet its economy remains stable with 71% of its GDP derived from the service sector. Boasting the highest standard of living in the region and an unemployment rate of only 7.3%, it’s no wonder that “pura vida,” or “life is good,” persists as the local expression used when greeting others.

EXPLORE THE COSTA BALLENA Discover incredible beaches and waterfalls, go whale watching and surf the best breaks on the coastline

WHALE-WATCHING It’s called Costa Ballena because this is an incredible part of the world to see whales. There are several different species that are regularly seen here, including false killer, Bryde’s, pilot, and of course humpback whales. Humpbacks are a very common sight since they use this region’s temperate waters for breeding and for rearing their young. With two separate humpback migrations each year, each lasting a few months, whale season is almost a year-round event. You can easily see whales from the beach, but the best way to experience these gentle giants is on one of the many boat tours.

SURFING While Dominical draws the most surfers because it’s considered to have the best waves in the area, there are a couple of lesserknown beaches along the coast that are equally worth a visit.

MARINE PARK HOME OF THE WHALE TAIL, MARINO BALLENA NATIONAL PARK IS ONE OF THE ONLY MARINE PARKS

Playa Colonia: If you’re new to surfing, this is the beach for you because the offshore rock formations mellow the waves. Playa Colonia is inside Marino Ballena National Park and offers much more manageable waves, and there are plenty of surf schools nearby if you’re looking to learn.

IN COSTA RICA, AND IS A HAVEN FOR ANYONE WHO LOVES SURF, SAND AND WILDLIFE. THE PARK HAS A STRING OF BEAUTIFUL WIDE BEACHES THAT BACK ONTO THE ICONIC PALM TREES OF THE REGION.

Located near Dominical, this spectacular wildlife refuge has 7 kilometers of managed trails. You won’t have to hike far to see amazing wildlife like white-faced monkeys, king vultures and pacas. The trail network includes a magnificent lookout with views of Dominical Beach. There are also night tours, overnight jungle stays, and a zip-line tour. TESORO ESCONDIDO RESERVE

This is a more secluded reserve with fewer visitors, giving you a better chance of spotting more reclusive rainforest animals like howler monkeys, peccaries, parrots, toucans, and even the odd snake. Along with the wildlife, the trails offer some incredible views, including an amazing view of Uvita’s Whale Tail. Guided tours of the reserve can be arranged through the Playa Hermosa Ecological Association.

As a celebration dedicated to awakening our human potential, the Envision Festival provides a platform for different cultures to coexist in a sustainable community and inspire one another through art, spirituality, yoga, music, dance, performance, education, sustainability and our fundamental connection with nature. BEST FEST

Best Fest is an international music festival that takes place on the shores of Marino Ballena National Park in Costa Ballena. On one side of the park lies the warm vibrant waters of the Pacific, while pristine jungle covered mountains enclose it on all others. This idyllic location makes for a one-of-a-kind venue where this Costa Rica Music Festival and nature conspire to produce epic times that will be emblazoned on your memories forever.

WATERFALLS IN THIS INCREDIBLE PART OF THE WORLD, THERE IS NO SHORTAGE OF NATURALLY STUNNING TROPICAL WATERFALLS. THE MOST FAMOUS OF THESE IS LESS THAN A HALF HOUR INTO THE MOUNTAINS.

NAUYACA: THIS WATERFALL IS ONE OF COSTA RICA’S MOST IMPRESSIVE WITH TWO SETS OF FALLS MEASURING A COMBINED 200 FEET. THE UPPER FA LLS HAVE A N I MPR ESSI VE 1 40-FOOT CLIFF AND ARE A GREAT PLACE FOR A PICNIC AND TO SIMPLY HANG OUT. THE LOWER FALLS FEATURE A LARGE POOL FOR SWIMMING AND DIVING. YOU CAN EASILY HIKE TO THE FALLS, BUT MOST PEOPLE GET THERE BY TAKING A HORSEBACK TOUR. CASCADA VERDE: THIS IS A SMALLER WATERFALL THAT’S CLOSER TO TOWN AND GETS A LITTLE MORE CROWDED, BUT IT’S STILL GREAT FOR A QUICK SWIM, JUMPING OR SLIDING INTO THE COOL EMERALD WATER.

COSTA RICA’S FAMOUS WHALE TAIL

MARINO BALLENA NATIONAL PARK An iconic natural paradise

This national park is one of the unique reserves in Costa Rica. Located just offshore and along the coast, the park protects more than 5,375 hectares of ocean and 110 hectares of land along 9 miles of coastline, including mangrove forests, coral reefs and beaches. It was declared a national park in 1898, and although it is home to the famous isthmus shaped like a whale’s tail, it was named for the humpback whales that migrate here each year.

Humpback whales are in fact found in these waters for most of the year because the park benefits from 2 migrations. Whales come from Alaska to the region from December to April, and from Antarctica from August to November, making it one of the worlds best places to go whale-watching. Along with humpback whales, there are 85 other species endemic to the waters of this area.

The landscape of the park varies considerably depending on when you visit. In the morning, the mangroves come alive with the call of birds and the replenishing eucalyptus forest creates amazing colors. In the evening around sunset, scarlet macaws can be found in pairs in the trees, and monkeys regularly stop by. On the beach, high tide brings with it waves and an active beach that is great for playing in the surf. If the surf becomes a little rough for you, small swimming holes created by the currents are calmer and safer for the less experienced swimmers. At low tide, the beaches transform into an expansive area to explore, and exposes the Punta Uvita Tombola — the Whale’s Tail. Stretching out into the ocean for about a mile, the Whale’s Tail is a natural barrier reef that was created by the forces of two rivers on either side of the reef. Along with a great place to explore the beach and take in some incredible views of the mountains, the Whale’s Tail is also perfect for snorkeling. The four main beaches of the park – Playa Bahia Ballena, Playa Pinuela, Playa Colonia and Playa Uvita are usually fairly deserted, making them serene and peaceful shorelines to explore. Offshore, the largest coral reef on the Pacific Coast of Central America forms a crescent necklace with the three small islands known as Las Tres Hermanas, (The Three Sisters) with Ballena island as the centerpiece. The coral reef contains 18 coral species, making it one of the largest collections of coral in Costa Rica, including Stony Coral, Cauliflower Coral and Star Column Coral. Boat tours are available to Ballena Island, giving you the perfect opportunity to observe a plethora of marine life and explore the phenomenal ocean floor below. Along with humpback whales, olive ridley sea turtles, bottle-nose dolphins, sharks, starfish, false orcas, green iguanas, leatherback turtles and Bryde’s whales are common sights. Olive ridley and hawksbill sea turtles also nest along the shores of Playa Bahia Ballena between May and November.

THE TERRACES AT SAN MARTÍN The essence of Costa Rican living • PRIVATE, GATED VILLA COMMUNITY LOCATED ON THE BLUFFS OVERLOOKING

Sunsets over the Pacific, the call of toucans greeting you in the morning, and days filled with the rich tapestry of culture and adventure — this is the essence of Costa Rican living.

THE ARCHITECT Q&A WITH LUIZ A. RODRÍGUEZ, THE ARCHITECTURAL VISIONARY BEHIND AXIOM

Q. As the founder and visionary behind the RSA Group, you’ve worked on luxury residential, high-rise condos, master-planned resorts; even some commercial and institutional projects. Do you have a favorite, and what would you like to do more of? A. I’d have to say that choosing a favorite is impossible because each is so different. Each has a special location, and a different set of challenges and opportunities. Because of this, every home, resort, or school becomes my child. They have my heart and soul and I want them to be the best they can be, and I become very attached to each of them and that’s why I just can’t pick a favorite. Q. You’ve designed buildings in North America and across Central America. Does the process of designing differ much between countries and cultures, and does it affect your design philosophy and process? A. I believe design solutions have to respond to environmental context like culture, physical location, the ecosystem, technical and materials restrictions and of course the client’s vision. While the process is the same for each part of the world, because each condition is so specific, the design solution is unique. I would say that where a project is located in the world is less important than the factors that affect the immediate surroundings of the project. So while my design philosophy and process are the same, the outcome is unique to that specific project and client. Q. Each of Axiom’s projects in Costa Rica is very different in terms of scale, home type and location. Was there an overall design vision for Élan at Ballena Beach, The Terraces at San Martín and The Sierra Collection? Or did you approach each of them independently and very separately? A. Because all three of these projects are the vision of the same developer, there are naturally some aesthetic values that are seen in each of the projects. But because each is in a very different environment with their own very specific opportunities, my response was to combine an overall design vision to allow each community to develop its own character and distinctive style.

Q. What were the biggest challenges, and design opportunities in creating three distinct projects concurrently? A. One of the biggest challenges was the design vision of the developer. Michael and Blake from Axiom have extremely high standards and decided from the beginning that they would not cut corners, that every one of the communities was going to be the best that it could possibly be. If I had to choose only one opportunity for each project, it would be the location for each of the projects. From one of the best beaches in Costa Rica, to spectacular terraced rainforest, and of course the mountaintop setting of the Sierra Collection. From a design point of view, each location provides tremendous opportunities to create incredible homes that are distinct because of their setting. Q. Élan at Ballena Beach, The Terraces at San Martín and The Sierra Collection are all in very special locations. How did this affect your design vision? A. If you look at the three locations of the projects, they follow the ecosystem down from the mountains to the ocean, and that was a primary inspiration for each of the communities. The Sierra Collection is above the forest on the mountains, and each home reflects the wide open spaces and panoramas that surround it. Midway down the mountain, The Terraces at San Martín is nestled in the rainforest, and the homes were inspired by tree houses, with decks on the upper floors opening onto the canopy of the forest, and lower pool decks interfacing directly with the lush plants of Costa Rica. And down on the coastline, where the forest meets the ocean is Élan at Ballena Beach. Because Élan is not a view property, but right next to the beach and a national park, we were able to create a very special collection of homes that took advantage of being in its own special environment. While the design visions for each project have their differences, they are all focused on taking advantage of the natural world around them. Q. Preservation of the environment is fundamental to Costa Rica and it’s also a key philosophy in how you design. How did you approach the integration of architecture into the environment for these projects?

“GREEN DESIGN IS NOT SOMETHING WE DO BECAUSE IT’S POPULAR”

A. From a design philosophy point of view, sustainability and “green design” are not something we do because they are popular. Because of where we live, and our lifelong appreciation of the natural world around us, everything we do is focused on preserving the environment and mitigating damage to the sites we build on. We are also fortunate to have a developer who is also a landscape architect, so preserving and protecting the ecology on and around our projects is second nature to us. We are also not naive to the fact that we are building homes, and we understand that any kind of construction has an impact. But it is how much we can mitigate changing the landscape that makes the biggest difference, and because one of our fundamental objectives in designing these homes is the integration of home and nature, we change as little as possible, and then actively regenerate the site with the native species that were on the site before we began. Q. What do you feel is the greatest challenge when it comes to designing for environmental sustainability? A. I believe that if you don’t think of sustainability as a natural way to design and build, it can be a challenge. But if your objective is to create homes and projects that are naturally integrated into the landscape, the idea of environmental sustainability becomes an opportunity to take advantage of as much as possible. Because the environment is not an afterthought, each of the projects has been approached very differently in terms of sustainability. For instance, the air-conditioning systems we use in each of the three communities is very different. From the high altitude of The Sierra Collection, to the humidity around the homes on the coastline, each system has been specifically selected and optimized to provide the best performance while being as efficient as possible. Q. One of Axiom’s founders is also an accomplished landscape architect. How did this influence your work? A. This has influenced these projects tremendously. Having a developer who understands architecture and design working alongside you is probably the best situation you could have. If I were designing a loft in New York, having an interior designer on the team would make the outcome so much better. And so having a landscape architect in Costa Rica has resulted in every home in each of the communities being specifically created for that environment.
