Rincon Master Plan, Costa Rica

The Rincon is a vibrant, sustainable, international community that supports human flourishing through a focus on wellness, personal and social development, and connections with nature and the arts. Located on a 360-acre pristine mountain ranch near Guanacaste, the Rincon property includes gently sloping fields, valleys, and forested areas with view to the Pacific Ocean and the Rincon de la Vieja volcano.

The TKWA Master Plan is centered around a Market Center, the active social heart of the community and the place where residents meet, interact, dine, and do business. Twelve surrounding neighborhoods (“barrios”) contain the settlement’s 675 living units, organized in clusters which offer varying degrees of social connectivity and seclusion. The plan is flexible, allowing for generative, sustainable growth as the community expands.
