DESCRIPTION:
This sensitively sited visitor’s center provides a gateway to the serene group of structures that make up the humble compound of Puerto Rico’s first democratically elected governor. The building takes advantage of the slope to accommodate deposits and administrative offices on a lower level while keeping exhibit and multi-use spaces at the entry-level above. A patterned pre-cast concrete façade evokes a bamboo groove that once stood on its site.
