Caño Negro Lodge is a small boutique hospitality project located in Cocles, Limón, set within the Costa Rican Caribbean forest on a site defined by irregular geometry and complex topography. The project is conceived as a series of elevated units, lifted from the ground on concrete piloti to reduce impact on the terrain and preserve existing vegetation.

The buildings use a prefabricated steel structural system combined with local wood decks and wall cladding, balancing construction efficiency with a warm, regional material character. The architectural language draws from Caribbean vernacular traditions through window protections, lightweight balustrades, and a permeable envelope that promotes natural ventilation, shade, and a close relationship with the surrounding forest.
