Jose Pent I Residence

A 215-square-meter country residence sited across a 7,000-square-meter parcel in Salitral, Santa Ana, strategically planned to frame sweeping panoramic views across the mountainous topography. The architectural expression combines Mediterranean cues with traditional Costa Rican hacienda elements, featuring multi-pitch clay-tiled roofs, protective eaves, and private courtyards with carved stone water features. Inside, the open-plan social area unfolds under double-height exposed timber craft ceilings with clerestory dormers, establishing natural passive ventilation and seamless visual continuity with the surrounding landscape.

Panoramic landscape view of Jose Pent I Residence nestled in a Santa Ana estate featuring terracotta tiled roofs and scenic mountain backdrop.
