Our architecture aspires to go beyond creating beautiful and long-lasting spaces. Each project reflects the essence of its environment, the character of its community, and our design vision, resulting in buildings that are timeless, impactful, and uniquely human.
Every space we design becomes a stage for experiences, cultivating memories that enrich daily life and rituals. Our goal is to shape evolving narratives that grow into enduring stories— eventually transforming into myths.

CORE VALUES

COHERENCE:
OUR INTUITIVE RIGHTNESS.

Coherence is a way to experience life, where our actions, values, and goals are aligned. At the studio, we endeavor to cultivate a lifestyle that resonates with a deep sense of purpose and meaning. Coherence is our intuitive rightness, reflected in the projects we undertake, our team, internal processes, our communication, and our architecture.

COHABITATION:
OUR HUMAN/NATURE-CENTERED
APPROACH TO DESIGN.

Buildings that work with, rather than against, their natural surroundings promote nature balance. Environments that consider human needs—physical, psychological, and emotional—enhance overall well-being. Buildings that respect and reflect local culture, history, and community values create a sense of belonging and identity.

COLLABORATION:
OUR DESIGNS ARE A
COLLECTIVE EFFORT.

Collaboration is a mutual commitment between our clients, the design team, and all stakeholders, working together toward the best possible outcome. Co-creation fosters a sense of shared ownership and collective responsibility for the project. It transforms architecture into more than just a physical structure—it becomes a meaningful expression of shared goals, values, and aspirations.

“In a collaboration, if the best idea gets picked,
you win, regardless of whose idea it is”

Rick Rubin.

COMMUNITY:
OUR ARCHITECTURE IS A MEDIUM FOR COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT.

Convinced that each project is part of a community, we believe that empowering local culture through architecture is a way to celebrate, preserve, and promote its unique identity, traditions, and values. Each building should reflect the inner values of its community that’s why we aim to create awareness that architecture can be a medium for cultural expression and resilience, fostering pride, and connection, while adapting to contemporary needs.

SIMPLE

Simplicity for MITO is not about being plain or ordinary, it is a carefully crafted experience. Achieving simplicity requires depth, intuition, and technical expertise. It is the way we aspire for our projects and processes to be experienced— clear, coherent, serene, and purposeful.

LONG LASTING

Years of experience have equipped us with a deep understanding of what works—and what doesn’t—in tropical environments like Costa Rica. This expertise allows us to develop tailored solutions that respect the unique challenges of the climate while celebrating its natural beauty.

HUMAN

By integrating salutogenic design, design thinking, and neuroarchitecture, we go beyond aesthetics to craft architecture that promotes well-being, inspires connection, and stands the test of time. When spaces resonate on a human level, they become cherished and cared for, fostering a lasting bond between people and place.
