What We Do
Architecture, interiors, landscape, hospitality, master planning, and project strategy for places of lasting value.
Inverse Project offers integrated design services for high-end residential, hospitality, interiors, landscape, and planning projects.
Our work can begin with early site strategy and visioning, or with a defined project ready for design. We guide clients through architecture, interiors, landscape, lighting, master planning, documentation, consultant coordination, construction support, furniture, and final details.
The goal is to create projects that are not only beautiful, but clear, buildable, durable, and deeply connected to place.
Core Services
01
We design private homes, villas, estates, vacation homes, and family retreats shaped by site, climate, lifestyle, privacy, and long-term value.
Our architectural work begins with understanding the land: orientation, views, access, slope, sun, wind, privacy, structure, and the emotional experience of the place.
Services may include
02
We design hospitality environments that are rooted in place and memorable for guests.
Our hospitality work focuses on arrival, atmosphere, guest experience, operational clarity, landscape, materiality, and the emotional memory of the stay.
Services may include
03
We create interiors that feel refined, calm, durable, and connected to the architecture.
Our interior work considers materials, light, furniture, craft, daily rituals, and the way spaces are actually used.
Services may include
04
Master planning is where the long-term value of a site begins.
We help landowners, developers, and investors understand the potential of a property before committing to a design direction. This work brings together site analysis, environmental understanding, development regulations, access, infrastructure, views, slope, climate, solar orientation, phasing, and project vision.
Services may include
A strong master plan helps clarify what is possible, what is valuable, and what should be protected.
05
Landscape is central to our work.
We design outdoor rooms, courtyards, arrival sequences, gardens, pools, terraces, planting, privacy, and landscape lighting as part of the complete architectural experience.
We prioritise planting strategies that feel natural to the place, respond to climate, reduce unnecessary water use, and strengthen the connection between building and site.
Services may include
06
The final experience of a project depends on details.
Furniture, lighting, art, accessories, landscape, signage, and operational supplies all shape how a place feels and functions. For selected projects, we provide furniture selection, custom furniture design, procurement guidance, and operational supply coordination.
Services may include
07
Lighting is critical to the success of a project.
Good lighting should feel calm, warm, intuitive, and integrated with the architecture. The best lighting is often indirect and concealed, supporting daily use while enhancing materials, surfaces, landscape, and atmosphere.
We study lighting levels, fixture types, colour temperature, control zones, exterior impact, and decorative fixtures. Where appropriate, we design sophisticated lighting control systems, custom decorative fixtures, and dark-sky-conscious exterior lighting strategies.
Services may include
08
A successful project depends on the right team.
We advise on assembling and coordinating the consultants, contractors, vendors, and specialists required for the project. This may include civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, irrigation, lighting, landscape, pool, security, smart-home, cabinetry, window, furniture, and specialty consultants.
Our role is not only to design the project, but to help build the team capable of delivering it.
09
Strong design requires continuity through construction.
We remain involved during construction to help protect the design intent and support the project team.
Services may include
The more integrated the process, the more resolved the project becomes.
Architecture, interiors, landscape, lighting, furniture, and construction decisions are deeply connected. Our role is to hold those pieces together so the final project feels coherent from the site strategy to the smallest detail.
Local Knowledge
Costa Rica is our home base and one of our greatest sources of knowledge.
Working here has given us deep experience with tropical climate, steep sites, seismic requirements, heavy rainfall, salt air, environmental regulations, condominium approvals, material durability, local craft, and construction logistics.
This expertise allows us to guide clients through the realities of building well in Costa Rica while developing a process that is clear, rigorous, and adaptable.
