Nebulae
Architecture, yoga, sound art & hospitality in Heredia, Costa Rica
San Roque de Barva · Heredia · Costa Rica
Architecture. Nature. Experiences.
Luxury stays, unforgettable events and creative experiences immersed in architecture and nature — minutes from SJO International Airport.
More than a space — a frequency
More than a destination — a living architectural ecosystem.
Nebulae was born as a fusion of art, wellness and contemporary architecture — a biobrutalist, retro-futuristic work shaped by the climate, energy and living topography of the mountains of Heredia. It does not simply stand. It breathes, resonates and evolves with everything around it.
Alianz Loft · 2025The Philosophy
Architecture
as an experience.
Conceived and built by architect Eric Bogantes, Nebulae began as a personal laboratory of ideas — an exploration of new ways to inhabit space. A decade of structural exploration, climatic study and aesthetic research turned a single loft into an entire cultural ecosystem.
Here, geometry, light, water and stone are the only ornament. Architecture does not seek attention through excess, but through harmony.
"By day, a diamond anchored within nature. By night, a spacecraft experienced from within."

Where rhythmmeets architecture.
Every surface, opening and detail was composed so that light, sound and landscape become active participants in the experience.
The Daily Flow
A single day,
endlessly transformed.
Sunrise practice
The Shala opens to the mountains. Yoga, meditation and breathwork as the valley wakes.
Afternoon of creation
A workshop, a residency, a photoshoot. The same pavilion becomes a studio for making.
Sunset gathering
Cocktails beneath the cypresses. Dinners, launches and celebrations as the light turns gold.
Into the frequency
Ambient DJ sets and sound journeys. Architecture lit like a spacecraft moving through the dark.
Sound, Space & Stillness
The ecosystem,
frame by frame.
Laurel Hall · EventsPrivate Events
Celebrations
across an estate.
Weddings, corporate gatherings, retreats and launches unfold across multiple venues at once. Laurel Hall, the Water Cube and the Yoga Deck activate simultaneously — independent yet interconnected environments held within one atmosphere.
Reserve the full property as Alianz Compound: a private architectural ecosystem with professional logistics, security, parking and event support.
Accommodation
Stay inside
the architecture.
Four distinct units, one ecosystem. Each is a different way to inhabit Nebulae.
Alianz Loft
A diamond by day, a spacecraft by night — the first built expression of Nebulae.
Water Cube Suite
Descend into marble, geometry and colour-shifting light beside a submerged lounge.
Nebulae Shala
An open pavilion that dissolves the line between architecture and landscape.
The Modules
Architecture reduced to light, proportion and stillness — intimate retreats in nature.
Loxone · by AlianzArchitecture that
responds to you.
Nebulae doubles as a living Loxone showroom by Alianz. Lighting, climate, shading and high-fidelity sound are woven directly into the building — a guided tour of what intelligent architecture can feel like.
Automation
One gesture sets light, sound and atmosphere across the whole space.
Cinematic Light
Scenes shift the mood from calm daylight to immersive colour at night.
High-Fidelity Sound
Integrated audio connects architecture, music and emotion seamlessly.
Rabbit Sanctuary
Where architecture
makes room for the living.
Among the gardens and mature trees, rescued rabbits move freely — a quiet, emotional ecosystem where built form and wild life share the same ground. It is the gentlest reminder of what Nebulae is really about: coexistence.
Forest. Water. Silence. Stillness you can hear.
The Grounds · NatureIn Their Words
Felt, not just seen.
"By night, surrounded by glass and lit cypresses, it truly felt like being inside a spacecraft moving through the landscape."
"The architecture did half the work. The sound, the marble, the light — our wedding felt like another world."
"A sunrise practice that became an afternoon of making and a night of music. The same space, completely transformed."
