The Calm Edit Apartment

The Calm Edit is a contemporary three bedroom apartment at Zenna in Escazú, located west of Costa Rica’s Central Valley. Its defining feature is the panoramic view toward San José and the mountains of Heredia, framed by expansive windows that bring the city, sky and surrounding landscape into the interior spaces. The elevator opens directly into the apartment’s private foyer, creating a discreet and private arrival. From there, the layout opens toward the social areas, where the apartment makes its strongest impression. The living room, dining area and terrace form a generous continuous setting for entertaining, gathering and enjoying daily life against an expansive view. The living and dining areas feature high ceilings, clean lines and floor to ceiling windows. Retractable glass doors fully connect the interior with the terrace, visually expanding the apartment and creating a natural transition toward the open views of the Central Valley. One of the apartment’s most distinctive elements is the semi integrated kitchen. It maintains a visual connection with the living room, dining area and surrounding landscape while preserving its own definition. A wide opening allows the kitchen to remain connected to the social spaces, while sliding glass doors make it possible to close the room when greater privacy is preferred. The kitchen combines graphite toned cabinetry, light surfaces and wood details that add warmth. It includes built-in appliances, ample storage, integrated lighting and a central island designed for entertaining. An additional wood structure extends the island, creating an informal setting for breakfast, everyday meals or gatherings around the kitchen. The interior design brings together a neutral palette with wood, exposed concrete and black metal elements. Carefully placed color accents introduce personality while maintaining a contemporary and balanced aesthetic. An additional room can serve as a television lounge, study or family area, allowing the residence to adapt to different needs. The apartment includes three bedrooms, each with its own bathroom and closet. The primary suite feels like a private retreat, with generous proportions, large windows and views toward the city and mountains. Its bathroom features a symmetrical composition with two sinks, floating cabinetry, organically shaped mirrors and glass partitions with black frames, complemented by a spacious walk-in closet.
