Architectural Renderings House-1800’s Puerto Rican Home Re-design as Green-Roof Space

There are some area in the city of San Juan, Puerto Rico that had been abandoned. That city have some eightieth-century home style. In order to make the greenest home a couple come and renovated that house and transformed it into an urban garden. The 9000 square foot building was carefully upgraded and preserved with a light modernist touch.

They have come with some different ideas that makes the design very unique, the husband make the design for a large vegetables garden and green roof, in the order hand the wife enjoys the home’s location in the heart of town and runs her arts nonprofit on-site.

The colonial building was abandoned for decades, so the couple had some hard work for major restoration work to do. They doing the design work themselves, they kept the original floor plan intact, touches like freshly-plastered walls and polished concrete floors harmonize the interior.

That change the large flaf roof to a vegetable garden and green grassy area.

In the dense downtown neighborhood this small patch of green gives the family food and a place to be outside, above the bustling and colorful neighborhood. The garden also provide this couple with some vegetables like green beans, tomatoes, eggplants, sweet potatoes, scallions, rosemary, basil and other herbs.

The owners want to create an easily adaptable program for the home, so the rooms were designed with an open and sparse sensibility. With low-energy fluorescent lighting and a staircase made from old iron wood beams reclaimed from the ceiling show the couple’s sensitivity toward the home’s environmental impact.

The sheer volume of the home was more than any family of four could use, so the street level is now home to an arts nonprofit. Beta-Local is focused on bringing artists together and exploring the Puerto Rican experience though workshops, residencies, and other projects.
