Casa Elizabeth
A beach house for the Murphys
Pat and Beth Murphy wake up to a dream every day at their upstairs master bedroom overlooking the Danta and Dantita Islands in the town of Las Catalinas in Guanacaste, Costa Rica. A leap of faith landed them onto a property at an early stage of this development. A strike of luck and good will allowed us to meet and work together towards their dream. We ran the distance by exploring possibilities, studying reference, exchanging travel photographs and sculpting their house to fit them perfectly. Casa Elizabeth has been producing memories and joy from design to handover to stay after stay. Pat and Beth remain close to our hearts.
