CARAMBOLAARQUITECTOS is an architecture atelier specialized in homes, boutique hospitality and green master planning. We believe in Architecture as the result of the conjunction of site, culture and client´s needs.

We do small projects that are big from a design perspective: private homes, studios, lofts and little gardens, urban hotels.

We do big projects that need a particular understanding of site and ecology: mountain hotels, retreats, residential condos.

We think Architecture is by definition sustainable so we don´t put tags to our work.

CARAMBOLAARQUITECTOS attempts to generate all projects from their relationship with surroundings, both natural and cultural. That´s why we like landscape architecture as we believe earth and architecture are absolutely connected.

We are purists. We believe in extracting the nature of the materials and letting them be.

Here at CARAMBOLAARQUITECTOS we are always concerned with frugality and project economy since we also understand business, putting an extra effort in offering economy oriented solutions.

We transform our clients needs into projects and then into spaces. So we try to establish close relationships with our clients, we like to know them well so we can translate their desire into Architecture.

While designing we research as a way to get better, be better informed and better architects.

CARAMBOLAARQUITECTOS is a project founded by Natalia Solano Meza.

NATALIA SOLANOMEZA

Natalia graduated from the School of Architecture at University of Costa Rica and is a member of CFIA. She comes from a family of many economists and a few artists. She thinks she is a mixture of both.

She won a Special Mention of Honor at the X Costa Rican International Biennial for a research project in 2010

Natalia is a Ph.D Candidate by the Faculty of Architecture at the University of Porto and currently splits her time between the city of Porto in Portugal and the city of San José, Costa Rica. In her thesis she is exploring relationships between liberal pedagogical experiments and architectural practice.

She started her career as an architect working for highly recognized architectural firms where she was able to develop major scale projects (up to 100 hectares) and specialized in master plan design. In master planning she found a passion for non-commercial landscape architecture.

She founded CARAMBOLA with the idea of producing honest, economic and functional Architecture and beautiful, explosive and intense gardens. The firm is not only her atelier but an essential part of her life, so are writing about Architecture and researching.

In Porto she is donating a few ours a month to a social project that seeks to recuperate houses in the historical city centre.

Natalia is a devoted yogini since 2001, addicted to coffee and fashion. She has a ongoing love affair with exposed concrete, loves to run and vegetarian cooking. She likes crime novels, labrador retrievers and is (slightly) afraid of geese.
