Building Sustainably in Costa Rica: Low-Impact Construction for the Future

In Costa Rica, sustainability isn’t just a trend — it’s a national value. More homeowners and developers in the Nicoya Peninsula are choosing materials and methods that reduce environmental impact, conserve resources, and improve energy efficiency.

From natural ventilation and rainwater collection to solar-powered lighting and local materials, low-impact construction can transform how we live and build. These choices lower long-term costs while protecting the forests, rivers, and coastlines that make this region unique.
