Costa Rica based design practice QBO3 Arquitectos is committed to creating architecture that responds sensitively to context while offering elevated spatial experiences. Their projects demonstrate a balance between refined aesthetics, functional programming, and deep engagement with the natural environment.

The design of the Andaz Beach Club at Peninsula Papagayo emerged from the challenge of translating the client’s high-end expectations into an architectural language blending luxury, wellness, and a connection to the tropical surroundings. QBO3 Arquitectos created a beach club with beachfront lounges, private cabanas, wellness spaces, a gourmet restaurant, bar, spa pavilion, and versatile events platform.

The architecture respects the site’s topography and vegetation, using natural woods, stone, and neutral finishes, while light rooflines, shaded terraces, and open volumes enhance comfort and views. Interiors curated by Cola Blanca emphasise material authenticity, neutral tones, and seamless transitions between indoor and outdoor areas, delivering a refined coastal experience rooted in place.
