Located just steps from one of Costa Rica's most iconic beaches, Playa Guiones, Casa Liza emerges as a project deeply respectful of its surroundings. The house's L-shaped configuration fosters a direct connection with the outdoors, allowing all spaces to benefit from natural light and ventilation while carefully integrating.
