Behind Playa Iguana are our founding partners, Javier Oliva and Juan Carredano—grade school friends whose shared vision has grown into a lifelong collaboration. Both are long-time residents of Sayulita, deeply connected to the community and the landscape that inspires their work.
With more than two decades of experience in residential, commercial, and office projects, Javier and Juan bring a rare combination of international expertise and local insight. Their approach goes beyond design: they create spaces that are visually compelling, highly functional, and financially sound.
