For nearly a decade, we've designed and developed nature-led homes across Costa Rica's coast and highlands. Our work begins not with a plot, but with a place — its trees, its slope, its sound, its season.
Every project is designed for the families who will live in it — the way we would design for ourselves. We are small by choice, careful by craft.
Topography, canopy, and water are surveyed before a single line is drawn. Trees stay. Slopes are read. Designed bioclimatically — for the breeze, the sun, the season — and biophilically, for the daily presence of nature.
We build with Costa Rican craftsmen, local materials, and a network of architects and national firms.
Solar, low water consumption, passive cooling, and biological treatment — built quietly into every home.
We deliver, then we stay. Owners have direct access to the team, years after handover.
6 units · 2–3 bedrooms · 4,900 m² lot · 60% green areas. A small condominium settled into a gentle slope, with mountain views and a five-minute drive to one of Costa Rica's most consistent waves.

2 apartments · 6 office pods · Live and work, walking distance to the beach. A mimetic architecture wrapped in plants — designed to disappear into its setting.

View Project →Conscious development is a promise that needs proof. These are the numbers across our portfolio — Hermosa Salvaje, Grande Salvaje, and Salvaje 55.
We develop soulful spaces where nature, design, and wellness come together. PGO Salvaje creates conscious developments that honor the land, elevate daily living, and stand the test of time.
"Salvaje" — wild — is not a marketing word for us. It's the orientation of every project we touch: a house should respect what was here before, settle quietly into its setting, and let the Pacific do the rest.
PGO Salvaje is a small Costa Rican developer led by Gonzalo Ortuño C., based in Playa Grande, Guanacaste. We take on a limited number of projects at a time so we can stay close to each one — from siting and design through construction and the years that follow.
We work openly with the broker community across Costa Rica and abroad. Our co-broke commissions are transparent, our timelines respected, and our project sheets, floor plans, and renderings are made available on request.
