Casa Anahata has been nominated for ArchDaily’s Obra del Año 2026, the Spanish-language edition of the Building of the Year awards, in the Houses category, following its publication on ArchDaily.
Built on a steep site in Escazú overlooking the Central Valley, the 905 m² residence is organized around a generous central void, the heart of the home, which brings light, air and vegetation inside while keeping the surrounding volumes connected.
Lead architect: Rodrigo Carazo. Design team: Vanessa Durán, Catalina Gutiérrez, Saymond Aguilar and Manon Hubert. Photography by Álvaro Fonseca.
