THE HIGHPOINT

A dash of uptown atop the Escazú hills

HM ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN

by Howler Staff

The Highpoint is a contemporary jewel by acclaimed Costa Rican architect Ronald Zurcher. This sleek multi-level residence towers over the Escazú skyline, meticulously designed with 180-degree panoramic views of San José’s Central Valley and the surrounding mountains.

Yudiarta Kurniawan, from Dallas-based Seifert Murphy, created a fresh and dazzling effect for The Highpoint with a balance of warmth and minimalism. The rich textile and wallcover palette inspires an uptown feel against the dark wood floors and Italian large-format marble from MARE Design Center. Along with custom furnishings, the interiors play a supporting role to the architecture’s towering three-floor beauty on the Escazú hills.

From internal water features to wall panels lined with treated pine for unique textures, this PROINSA-built masterpiece offers a rare sensory delight.

One of the surprises at The Higpoint is how intimate each room feels in such a vast overall space. And there’s a delightful bonus — every window in the house naturally focuses on the surrounding landscape, transporting the lush day-to-day environment towards Costa Rica’s great outdoors.
