GONTMAHKER RESIDENCE
Dorado, Puerto Rico

Big ideas, big house, big construction. For this project we helped a developer create his clients dream home. Everything from the architecture, interior design, bidding, out sourcing, managing construction to delivering a turn key project. The client was coming to the Island with his family and kept a really tight schedule. The project was build within two years at a fast paced construction; but very detailed oriented. Making this project come to life with all the big expectations was a big challenges to take on, but ultimately the developer, client and team were in extremely proud and satisfied with the result.

The house was design around a main courtyard, showcasing the pool, landscaping and all water and fire features to all the rooms. One of the main goal was to give amazing views and visual connection to all the spaces in the house, through very open and transparent inside facades.

For this renovation the focus was to impact the floor plan and facade to obtain an open and modern result. We made precise and minimal architectural movements; creating wide fenestrations on the facades and more interior open space.

Bringing really green, colorful and vibrant landscaping to the main courtyard was vital to fill with life this project. The clients wanted to be surrounded by nature when they arrived to their home, thus why we created a 20 foot long green wall along the main entry door.
