Where Contemporary Architecture Floats Above the Valley | Luxury Estate & Boutique Retreat in Atenas

Designed by one of Latin America’s most celebrated architects—whose work was featured in the February 2024 edition of Robb Report following the completion of a $25 million private residence at Four Seasons Papagayo—every detail reflects a philosophy where architecture serves the landscape rather than competes with it.

Natural materials, exposed concrete, warm hardwoods, steel accents, and expansive glass come together to create interiors that feel sophisticated, welcoming, and deeply connected to their surroundings.

At the heart of the home, soaring vaulted hardwood ceilings rise above an open-concept living space where oversized windows frame panoramic views from nearly every angle. The contemporary kitchen combines European cabinetry, quartz countertops, premium stainless-steel appliances, generous storage, and thoughtful lighting into a space designed for both everyday living and elegant entertaining.

The primary suite occupies its own private sanctuary on the main level. A custom wood-and-steel library wall, oversized dual closets, and a spa-inspired bathroom create a retreat unlike any other. Floor-to-ceiling glass surrounds a sculptural concrete soaking tub and expansive walk-in shower, while warm terracotta finishes echo the rich colors of the Costa Rican landscape beyond.

A dramatic floating concrete staircase leads to an additional guest suite complete with its own walk-in closet, ensuite bathroom, and flexible bonus room perfectly suited for a home office, fitness space, or artist’s studio.
