Reventazón door


A live-edge entry door carved from a single slab of solid Guanacaste, set into a black steel-and-glass frame. Its natural edge runs the full height of the door, catching light against the dark steel — the wood's own river of grain, named for one of Costa Rica's great rivers.

A single slab, a whole entrance

The Reventazón door began as one solid slab of Guanacaste, chosen for the way its live edge and grain move down the length of the wood. Rather than trim that edge away, we set it against black steel and glass so the natural line becomes the centre of the composition.

The result is an entry that feels architectural and warm at once — a heavy, solid-wood door balanced on a steel frame, with a glass sidelight that carries daylight into the hall. Matte black hardware keeps the focus on the wood.

Built, finished, and installed by our team for Casa Santos, the Reventazón door is one of a kind: no two slabs, and no two doors, are ever the same.

Contact us
Is each door one of a kind?

Yes. Every door is built from a single solid slab, so the live edge, grain and figure are unique to that piece of wood.

What wood do you use for entry doors?

Solid Guanacaste for the Reventazón door, paired with a steel-and-glass frame. Other tropical hardwoods can be discussed for a commission.

Can you build a door to my opening?

Yes. Every door is made to measure for the opening, hinges or pivot, and hardware, and we can work from an architect's plans.

Do you install across Costa Rica?

Yes. We build, finish and install nationwide, and crate carefully for international shipping.
