Where the land breathes, Matapalo is born.

The inspiration for our name comes from the matapalo tree. This species grows patiently, adapts to its environment without displacing it, and builds its strength from what it already experiences. This is how we see our work: as a natural extension of the landscape, thoughtfully thought out, precisely executed, and delivered with pride.

From the very first project, Matapalo Arquitectos has been convinced: every place holds a story, and every client brings a dream. By uniting the two, spaces with a Costa Rican soul emerge—functional, honest, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

We work with respect for the land and a true commitment to those who place their trust in us. We don't believe in imposing ways, but rather in discovering the balance between what already exists and what can grow without disrupting that harmony.

We are an architecture and construction studio that values the essential: the connection with nature, clarity in every step of the process , and the positive impact of every decision. We design and build homes, villas, and vacation projects that provide long-term value—economically, emotionally, and environmentally—for both our clients and the communities where they are located.

Those who choose us receive support from the start. We provide friendly guidance, clear planning, and real solutions . Our team has over fifteen years of experience in design, finishing, and construction. Every plan, every detail, and every decision passes through hands that know the trade and love what they do.
