Design & Build With Our Help

Some renovations happen all at once. This one didn't, and that was by design. Selva worked with the owners to break the project into phases they could plan and budget around: stage one extended and remodeled the main house, stage two added the swimming pool, and we're now deep into stage three, adding a new apartment, decks, terraces, and a rooftop terrace built specifically to capture panoramic ocean views. At every stage, our team has managed the contractors, timelines, and

From the first sketch to the final walkthrough, Selva is guiding this project end to end, permits, design decisions, contractor coordination, and everything in between. The result is a single-level main residence paired with a private casita, each with its own swimming pool, so owners and guests each keep their own sense of privacy without ever feeling separated from the rest of the property.

Some sites do most of the design work themselves, you just have to know how to listen to them. For this concept, Selva planned a three-bedroom high-end residence paired with a private one-bedroom casita around the property's mountain views and natural sense of quiet, orienting nearly every room toward the landscape. It's a fully developed design ready for construction, with our team prepared to manage the build the way we have for every project on this list, from permits to

Before a single wall goes up, someone has to imagine what's possible, that's the work behind Villa Cacique. Selva created this luxury, ocean-view home design for a lot in Altos del Cacique, between Playa del Coco and Playa Hermosa, near the Waldorf Astoria corridor, so a future owner doesn't have to start from a blank page. It doubles as a build-ready blueprint for the Cacique land we currently have listed for sale, giving a buyer a clear, pre-planned path from purchase to fi

A retired couple came to us with a plan: sell the condo, buy the land, and build the home they'd spend the rest of their lives in. Selva helped turn that plan into a ground-level, two-bedroom home designed entirely around ease of living, no stairs, a private pool, and gardens that have since become the real heart of the property. We managed the process from land search through final handover, so what could have been an overwhelming undertaking for a couple settling into retir

This project started with a decision, not a blueprint: the owner sold a condo and came to Selva ready to turn that equity into land, then into a home built entirely on his terms. We guided him through finding the lot, planning a single-level duplex designed for ease and privacy, and overseeing construction start to finish, two independent two-bedroom, two-bathroom condos, each with its own private pool, and no HOA to answer to. It's the kind of project that shows what's poss

Guanacaste has quickly become one of Costa Rica’s most attractive real estate markets, drawing buyers and investors from around the world. With its year-round warm climate, beautiful beaches, growing tourism industry, and increasingly strong infrastructure, the province continues to experience significant interest from both international and local buyers. From established destinations like Tamarindo, Playas del Coco, and Playa Flamingo to emerging areas such as Playa Panama,
