Sarapiquí door


A solid Guanacaste door whose live edge sweeps across the slab in a single curve, meeting a black steel infill. The result reads like water in motion — a companion to the Reventazón entry, named for another of Costa Rica's rivers.

A curve drawn by the wood

Where the Reventazón door follows a straight live edge, the Sarapiquí door takes its shape from a slab whose natural edge sweeps in a long curve. We set that curve against a black steel infill so the arc of pale sapwood becomes the whole gesture of the door.

It's a quieter, more sculptural piece — solid Guanacaste balanced by steel, with the same hand-finished warmth as the entry it sits beside. Together the two doors read as a pair, each named for a Costa Rican river.

Built, finished, and installed by our team for Casa Santos, the Sarapiquí door is one of a kind: the curve belongs to that slab and no other.

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 Sarapiquí door, shaped so the curved live edge meets a black steel infill. 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.

← All doors Every door is built from a single slab — no two the same.
