Description:

Iconic tropical modernist gem in Puerto Rico, this residence is in Valle Escondido Estates, a gated suburban community located in a small valley south of the Municipality of Guaynabo City, just 15 minutes away from San Juan business district. Designed by renowned award-winning architecture firm Diaz Paunetto Arquitectos, the 2-story house carefully takes advantage of the topography to allow for natural lighting, cross ventilation, and spectacular views of the surrounding mountains. A linear circulation spine where all spaces of the house are attached to is marked at the entry point by a koi fishpond with fountain that slides underneath the main stairs at the foyer. Following is a double height circular living room space with a glass wall to its north curving in response to the 180-degree views and an open space housing the kitchen, dining and family rooms that fully open to a courtyard, swimming pool area, terrace, and surrounding mountain views. Exotic Brazilian Cherry hardwood floors throughout highlight the second level which houses 5 bedrooms and a studio overlooking the living room and courtyard. Other features include a cinema lounge downstairs, gourmet kitchen, wood and pvc built-in cabinets, security windows and doors, among others. This unique home has been the recipient of an Award for its Design Excellence from the American Institute of Architects of PR in 2004 and has been featured in architecture books, television, newspapers, and magazines along the years highlighting its unique design qualities.
