Introduction
For over 16 years, surfing and wellness have been central passions for Esteban Ossenbach, the founder of
Selva Design. This discipline shapes not only his lifestyle but also the way we approach coastal architecture in places like
Nosara. Through our designs, we combine surfing and architecture to create spaces that complement an active lifestyle in harmony with nature.
How Surfing Influences Architectural Design
Surfing inspires motivation, resilience, and a strong connection with the environment. This deep bond is evident in our designs. By merging architecture and surfing, we create spaces that support wellness and promote respect for nature.
