We are proud to share that Numina House has been shortlisted at the World Architecture Festival 2026 in the WAF Future Projects – House category, one of the most important international awards in architecture.
The festival takes place from November 18 to 20 at the Broward County Convention Center in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where two members of our team will present the project live to an international jury, followed by a Q&A. Category winners then present again to a super-jury, which names the World Building and Future Project of the Year at the WAF Gala Dinner on November 20. This year’s shortlist brings together 416 projects selected from more than 630 entries worldwide.
Located in Bahía Ballena, on the Osa Peninsula, one of the most biodiverse regions on Earth, Numina is a regenerative residential project. Rather than treating the site as a blank canvas, it approaches the land as a living ecological structure: buildings follow the natural slope to minimize excavation, ecological corridors keep forest and wildlife habitats connected, and native species are reintroduced through a dense reforestation strategy based on the Miyawaki method, so the landscape becomes richer and more biodiverse over time.
Curved volumes step along the hillside with green roofs, open-air circulation and shaded terraces, keeping the house in continuous dialogue with the forest and the Pacific.
