Studio Saxe adds plant-covered athletic centre to Costa Rican hotel

Architecture firm Studio Saxe has designed this athletic complex for a Costa Rica hotel to be like "a small village amongst the trees".The Athletic Center is an addition to The Gilded Iguana hotel in Nosara, Costa Rica, a residence that Studio Saxe renovated in 2018. It is conceived as a modular construction built around the existing vegetation on the site.
Measuring 615 square metres, it houses a surf-shop, bike-shop, gym, exercise studios and massage rooms that can be used by resort guests and
