Carazo Arquitectura

Carazo Arquitectura was founded in San José, Costa Rica, in 2005 and has spent two decades testing the idea that architecture has a responsibility to reimagine how people live. Led by principal Rodrigo Carazo, the studio treats each commission as a platform for research, letting new models emerge where culture, climate, technology and nature intersect rather than repeating established typologies.

The practice counts more than 330 projects and more than fifty awards and publications. Its work ranges from the Maravé LXR hotel in Manuel Antonio and the LTR1 tower, conceived as a regenerative mixed-use ecosystem, to the Gwangju City Main Library in Korea, which turns a former waste-incineration site into a civic hub. Hotel Tapestry, Numina House and Centric reached the World Architecture Festival finals in 2026.
