Particular emphasis on reduced infrastructure allows for increased attention to detail and beauty for each walkway and building on the compact urban footprint. Drawing from existing knowledge of building in Costa Rica while introducing techniques with worldly precedent, the materials and finishes of Lantana Residences are accessible, relatively easy to build with, walkable in bare feet and bikeable, resistant to erosion, adaptable to different neighborhoods and design schemes, and versatile enough to be both formal and informal depending on the occasion and location. Many finishes including doors, windows, and some tiles are even crafted on site for ultimate quality and personalization. Interior fixtures such as faucets and lighting are similarly made of exceptional quality.
