Happy Toucan, La Fortuna, Costa Rica.

Restaurant Project

Inspired by traditional Costa Rican architecture, the ecotourism restaurant “Happy Toucan” is designed to harmonize with its surroundings while offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The main entrance welcomes guests into a spacious waiting area featuring a retail space that serves locally sourced coffee.

The primary dining area is thoughtfully designed to accommodate tour groups for breakfast and late lunch, ensuring a seamless guest experience. A blend of traditional layout, locally sourced materials with a modern and expansive windows enhance spatial flow-reflecting the region's architectural principles, which align with Feng Shui ideology. Additionally, a generous covered patio with panoramic views of Arenal Volcano fosters a strong connection to nature, enriching the dining experience.
