Colina Los Sueños

Herradura Beach, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Project size: 2 hectares (5 acres), 90 units

Colina Los Sueños was the first residential development in Costa Rica. Located on a hilltop site surrounded by two creeks, there are ninety 2- and 3-bedroom units.

The site amenities are truly centralized, and all units are accessed through landscaped walkways and stairs. As part of the constructibility analysis the project was redesigned to fit the developer’s delivery schedule.

A new construction method was devised to combine local traditional expertise and modern systems. The construction method was adopted throughout the region www.webberstudio.com

Del Mar Condos

Herradura Beach, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Project size: 12 hectare (29 acres), 114 units www.webberstudio.com

Earmarked for an affordable product, this site is flat without views and located next to a busy public road. It is cut off from other neighbors by a golf course and a creek.

The solution required a wholesale approach: garden walls to provide privacy and sound attenuation; heavily treed and landscaped street yards, and lushly landscaped courtyards and building entries; meandering walkways and a pedestrian bridge over the creek.

The buildings are arranged along a gentle curve along the golf course. Views were subtly created or enhanced by raising the building pads, raising buildings to three stories and by keeping pools and amenities at lower site levels.

Vista Las Palmas

Jaco Beach, Puntarenas, Costa Rica

Project size: 8 hectares (2 acres), 56 units

Vista Las Palmas pushed residential development to a new level. It was the tallest residential building in Costa Rica, and it broke the mold for luxury beach development.

Contemporary in style, all condos were sold before construction was complete. There are beach level and top floor penthouses with phenomenal views of the Jaco Bay.

The U-shaped 17 story open atrium provides natural light and ventilation to every condo, and a view to the emerald mountain forest. The site was planned with a beach front infinity pool, parking and infrastructure, which includes solar panel power, on-site wastewater treatment and back up generators. www.webberstudio.com

Whole Foods Markets

Multiple Locations www.webberstudio.com

Managing Principal Michael Antenora was responsible for the design and construction of more than thirty-five stores around the US for the natural foods giant, Whole Foods Markets (WFM), while working with a previous firm.

His experience includes store design/ layout, lighting design, kitchen design, café/juice/ coffee-bar design, custom casework and displays, wayfinding and signage.

The “green” characteristics for the building were created through careful selection/ specification of local, sustainable and ecofriendly materials and systems; the incorporation of daylighting/shading appropriate for the Texas climate and the use of (then) state-of-theart energy management and CFC-refrigerants.

TXB Food Stores Name

Bee Cave & Georgetown, TX.

Project size: 5,900 to 7,500sf

Project completion: Multiple Sites Under Construction

Webber+Studio has been working closely with TXB on the development of their first ground up store locations to be located in the vicinity of Austin, Texas.

These new prototypes seek to tie together the TXB brand image with the building architecture. A distinctive sloped roof and plentiful glass entry element provides a visual que to the customer as to what awaits them on the inside. A simple pallet of materials on both the inside and outside of the building creates a building that is unique yet reduces visual clutter which helps to focus the customers attention to the various food offerings and merchandise. Large areas of storefront and clerestory glazing will allow an abundance of natural light creating an airy and open feel that will have positive affects on both customers and staff. Webber+Studio collaborated with TXB branding firm, the Three Sixty Group, on the branding and signage elements throughout the prototype with the goal to create a holistic branded environment. www.webberstudio.com

Unifirst Corporation

San Antonio, Texas.

Project size: 8 acres. 70,000 sf

Project completion: 2014

Unifirst Corporation, one of North America’s largest workwear and textile services companies, recently embarked on a substantial expansion and renovation to its San Antonio facility.

The current facility consists of multiple buildings, and Webber+Studio was asked to consolidate Unifirst’s laundry operations into one building. Over the course of several construction phases, the project will involve the demolition of one existing structure and the addition of 37,000 sf to another, all while keeping Unifirst’s operations functioning.

The existing facility, located within a few blocks of the Freeman Coliseum and AT&T Center, is part of a newly deemed ‘Arts & Entertainment District’ that requires the building to meet stringent building design standards.
