Tomassini-Acevedo Residence

Tomassini-Acevedo Residence, Aguadilla, PR

Located in the neighborhood of Aguadilla, this beach villa is oriented towards recreational activities for a large family. This small home rests on flat land that is gifted with an enclosure of green foliage and the mesmerizing view of the Atlantic Ocean on the horizon. The ensemble of elements in this H-shaped house seeks a traditional approach to its architectural language, with the use of high ceilings, ceramic roof tiles on a gable roof, iron balconies, and exposed wooden beams. The warm colors of the brick, wall coating and wooden elements add a warm sense to this vacation sanctuary. The symmetrical axis running from the front porch to the patio provides a buffer zone to the natural elements while communicating the parallel volumes.
