Azur Residence – A Contemporary Tropical Sanctuary in Dominical, Costa Rica

Azur Residence by Alianz redefines modern tropical living in the lush landscape of Savegre, Costa Rica. Surrounded by dense rainforest and positioned near the Pacific coastline, the residence seamlessly fuses architecture, nature, and lifestyle into a singular immersive experience. Designed in 2024 and spanning 15,403 ft², the home embraces the raw natural surroundings while delivering a refined, elegant spatial language.

A Refuge Between Jungle and Ocean

Set in the heart of Dominical, Azur Residence was conceived as a retreat for those who seek harmony between wilderness and serenity. The design invites the surrounding landscape into the architecture, creating a continuous dialogue between indoor and outdoor environments. Lush vegetation, ocean breezes, and soft natural light become core components of the living experience.

The architects aimed to craft a space where residents can enjoy moments of relaxation, connection, and reflection—whether waking to views of the rainforest or unwinding beside the expansive pool deck.

Architectural Concept Rooted in Nature

At the foundation of the design is a bold “stone-shaped structure”, a massive sculptural element that anchors the residence both visually and symbolically. This form acts as a bridge between untamed nature and the clean geometries of contemporary architecture, reinforcing the idea that modern design can coexist organically with its natural context.

Premium materials—wood, stone, glass, and high-end finishes—are used throughout to achieve a sophisticated aesthetic that still feels warm and rooted in place. Carefully curated furnishings enhance the atmosphere of elegance without compromising comfort.

Expansive Terraces and Immersive Landscape Design

Outdoor spaces are essential to the identity of Azur Residence. Multiple terraces, secluded garden paths, and panoramic walkways blur the boundaries between interior and exterior. The main terrace opens to a large infinity pool surrounded by tropical gardens, creating a serene oasis ideal for sunlit mornings, sunset gatherings, and nighttime contemplation.

The second-floor terrace, equipped with a fire pit, offers elevated views of the jungle canopy and glimpses of the coastline—making it a perfect space for social evenings or quiet solitude.

A Complete Contemporary Home Under One Roof

Azur Residence offers a generously planned layout designed for both privacy and shared experiences. The program includes:

• Five bedrooms, each crafted with warm wood finishes and serene views
• A spacious living room and open-plan kitchen with expansive glazing
• A dedicated TV room and private office
• A fully equipped gym
• A second-floor outdoor terrace with fire pit
• A large swimming pool, barbecue terrace, and multiple landscaped relaxation zones
• Complementary service and entrance areas that support everyday living

Every space is carefully connected to the landscape, encouraging a lifestyle immersed in Costa Rica’s natural beauty.

Modern Tropical Living at Its Finest

More than just a home, Azur Residence represents a sanctuary that embodies the essence of modern tropical architecture—luxurious, peaceful, and deeply connected to its environment. Through its thoughtful design, refined material palette, and sensitive integration with the rainforest, the residence offers an elevated living experience that reflects Costa Rica’s unique ecological richness.
