The site is located at over 2,000 meters above sea level on the slopes of Volcán Barú, in a highland region celebrated for the production of Geisha coffee—one of the most exclusive specialty coffee varieties in the world, which thrives directly in this territory. The building was completed in close collaboration with local craftsmen Amílcar and Abdiel Rodríguez, whose technical expertise in timber construction shaped the project from structural framing to finish.
