Surf Simply

Nosara, Costa Rica

Like its name, this 1,200-square-meter coaching resort strives for simplicity and efficiency in its design. Every detail serves the idea that surfing can build happiness. The heart of the project is the communal dining table, where the 12 students gather each day to share their experiences. The visually connected surrounding spaces include three video coaching rooms, surf stretch space, and the open show kitchen. These spaces open to the training pool and board storage.
