— Architectural Vision
Aesthetics
Inspired by sustainable living, infused with the essence of wabi-sabi, our design inspiration is drawn from organic, natural, and textural elements, creating a custom aesthetic that seamlessly merges with the playful essence of tropical modernism.
Philosophy and Approach
Our deep-dive approach to realizing Shift's architectural vision involves collaboration with top design professionals globally. We are committed to a unique architectural aesthetic that reduces environmental impact and achieves carbon negativity. Our various home designs and lot size options cater to various income levels ensuring accessibility and diversity in the community. By embracing local culture and materials, we are creating a Costa Rican aesthetic with designs under the concept of "Tropicality."
