RSA and ENNTRE Join Forces
RSA and ENNTRE join forces, bringing together three complementary perspectives across master planning, architecture, and interior design to create one integrated, human-centered approach.
Bringing Three Perspectives Under One Shared Vision
The new collaboration brings together the expertise of Luis, Jessica, and Karla across master planning, architecture, and interior design.
Luis Rodríguez, Jessica García, and Karla Apéstegui : three perspectives, one shared vision.
RSA and ENNTRE announce a new design collaboration, bringing together two design studios and three complementary perspectives to offer clients an integrated approach from the earliest vision of a project through its built reality. At the heart of the collaboration are Luis Rodríguez, Jessica García, and Karla Apéstegui, three design professionals whose different backgrounds and areas of expertise create a shared approach spanning strategy, planning, architecture, interiors, and project delivery.
The partnership is grounded in a simple idea: the strongest projects emerge when different perspectives are brought together from the beginning. RSA brings a broader perspective, connecting land, people, and place through design, shaping spaces that belong, evolve, and come to life. ENNTRE brings the human experience into focus, shaping architecture and interiors around how people will live, work, gather, and feel.
Together, they work as one team.
Three Perspectives, One Direction
For Luis, every project begins with the land.
Long before becoming a design professional, his time spent on farms in Costa Rica shaped a lasting respect for climate, materiality, and the relationship between a place and the people who inhabit it.
Today, he combines design leadership with construction-smart project management, working with owners, developers, consultants, and investors from early vision and entitlement through construction and closeout.
Within RSA + ENNTRE, Luis brings the strategic perspective: seeing the potential held within a site and helping uncover the opportunities that can shape what a project becomes.
Jessica brings the human perspective into the equation.
An architect and storyteller with more than 18 years of experience across Latin America and the United States, she approaches design by first understanding people — how they live, work, connect, and experience a place.
Before co-founding ENNTRE, Jessica spent nearly two decades at Gensler, where she became Principal and Managing Director. Her experience across architecture, sustainability, multidisciplinary leadership, and strategy allows her to navigate complexity and identify what truly matters.
Within the collaboration, Jessica connects people, purpose, and design, translating different needs and ambitions into a clear strategy the entire team can move forward with.
Karla brings the precision required to carry a shared vision into reality.
With more than 20 years of experience, her career bridges large-scale hospitality and residential projects with a deeply human approach to design. After beginning her career independently, she joined Zürcher Arquitectos in 2006, where she led high-profile projects ranging from Papagayo resorts to Marina Pez Vela.
Her strength lies in translating ideas into spaces that can be built without losing the intention that shaped them.
Within RSA + ENNTRE, Karla brings executive clarity and technical mastery, carrying the vision through every layer of execution while balancing complexity, beauty, and practicality.
From the Land to the Life Within It
Together, these three perspectives allow RSA + ENNTRE to design across scales without fragmenting the project into separate conversations.
The collaboration spans planning, architectural design, and interior design, creating continuity from the first reading of a site to the details people eventually touch and experience every day.
The team begins by asking not only what can be built, but what belongs there.
How will people arrive? Where will they gather? How does the climate shape the architecture? What should the experience feel like? How can the original vision remain coherent as the project moves from strategy to construction?
By approaching those questions together, RSA + ENNTRE creates a single creative process around the client rather than a series of disconnected disciplines.
Casa 34
Why this collaboration.
ENNTRE was born with collaboration at its core. We believe the best work happens when experience, perspectives, and strengths come together, not to compete, but to complement one another.
Our collaboration with RSA grows from that same belief. It brings together two practices with complementary expertise, shared values, and a wider perspective shaped by experience across the United States and Costa Rica.
Together, we expand what we can offer our clients: broader expertise, stronger local presence, and the ability to navigate projects across markets with both global perspective and local understanding.
More than a partnership between studios, it is an extension of how ENNTRE has always imagined design: open, collaborative, and strengthened by the people we choose to create with.
We Design at Every Scale.
Different projects call for different strengths. We come together when scale, location, or complexity asks for a broader perspective, from master planning and architecture to the most intimate interior spaces. The collaboration adapts to what each project needs, bringing the right expertise to the table at the right moment.
Planning
Transforming land into meaningful destinations. We connect land, people, and place through design, creating a clear vision for how a territory can grow, evolve, and come to life.
Architectural Design
Turning vision into spaces made for living. We translate context, needs, and ambition into thoughtful architecture, balancing beauty, function, and the realities of bringing a project to life.
Interior Design
Shaping the way a space feels, flows, and is lived. We bring together materiality, light, function, and atmosphere to create interiors shaped around the people who will experience them.
Two Studios. One Creative Process.
The collaboration does not erase the identity of either studio. It brings their strengths into conversation.
Before ideas become drawings, they are discussed, sketched, questioned, and shaped together. Strategy informs architecture. Architecture responds to human experience. Technical decisions protect the original intention.
For clients, that means one team capable of moving between the scale of the land and the intimacy of everyday life while maintaining a shared direction throughout the project.
It is where RSA’s understanding of possibility meets ENNTRE’s belief that design begins with people.
Two studios. Three points of view. One shared vision.
