We managed to build a cool bar and patio space connected to the Juan surfo’s shop that is constantly full of boisterous clients. The budget constraints were tight, and so was the space, but the great vibes of owners Amy and Carlos made it fun!

After a couple of years, dwela returned to add another section to the roof and renovate the kitchen. Part of that renovation was adding a toilet, septic, and grease trap solution called bioreactor garden. We teamed up with and learned a ton from Ridge to reefs and the WCA about this subject, special to nosara and its surfers who notice the water quality change due to untreated watstewater.
