8 of 8
With an eye for a Caribbean lifestyle that incorporates wind, water, and sunlight, architect Nataniel Fúster renovated an existing 1940s home in San Juan. The modern take on tropical style uses a mixture of hammered, exposed concrete at the base of the home, which gives way to perforated-concrete panels and the bright white of the rest of the concrete facade. The perforations and white exterior keep the home cool through natural ventilation. They also refract and reflect the sunlight.
