Eco Pods in Costa Rica Are Not Like Any Other Vacation Idea

This eco-hotel sits within the treetops of Costa Rica and makes the most of a steeply inclined site. The unique cocoon-shaped eco buildings rest gently in the forest canopy, just like fruits hanging in a tree or the beautifully constructed nests of birds or small animals. These eco buildings allow for humans to inhabit spaces high above the ground while also creating an environment that can be shared with the local wildlife. The striking yet subtle geometry of each eco pod offers a sense of enclosure which is wholly unique and respectful of its natural treetop setting. Nature leads to Design. Studio Saxe helps to bring the structural form to ideas inspired by nature. Their team of Costa Rica architects combine their local knowledge with international eco-building design, blending a modern, global aesthetic that uses local expertise which extends to craftsmanship, sustainable sourcing of local building materials and personal connections. A clever eco-building design doesn't require much-added technology.
