In OCHO ARQUITECTURA & DISEĂ‘O we believe that every project possesses a soul of its own that transcends conventional forms. We assumed a profound, detailed and close experience with our clients. Our boutique firm aspires to always encourage new participations and new ideas. Understanding our context not only by the immediacy of sight, but also determined it through environmental, cultural and social relations.
Fully committed to an efficient, defying and economically feasible development. One of our goals as architects, is to design with a clear consciousness about ecology, local building materials. To create details that enhance the experience of architecture and propose alternative options to our clients For OCHO, we believe in the personal service of design, not in iconic beauty or ideal aesthetics of design.

CASAS FAL SABANILLA, SAN JOSE COSTA RICA
CASAS FAL In the midst of the Metropolitan area of San Jose, we had been given two plots of just a few square meters. Therefore, we design two residence under a question that later became a concept: How can we reject the urban environment and still focus the architecture towards a direct relation between indoor and outdoor? These residences open one towards the other, connecting between them. Creating an internal patio separated by the plot boundaries of each plot. Ignoring the city sound contamination and optimizing both, construction space and user experience.
