the Pr34 house by Rojkind (one of the firms featured in the Phaidon Atlas). The house is a fire-engine red capsule that perches above the remodeled portion of the dwelling.
Nice work. This is the first time I heard about this office. By the way Javier, are there any emerging offices like this curently in PR?
I can only think of my friend and soon to be your academic colleague from Ponce, PR. Abel Misla Villalba.
I collaborated with Rojkind arquitectos for some time, and its actually a very young firm in Mexico City, Michel Rojkind (principal) its actually a very talented mexican young architect (he's under 40..actually he's 35) that has been strugling in Mexico to get clients to accept new and innovative things, casa PR 34 comes from the name of the street and the number "Prometeo 34" and its a very nice house, its actually an adition to an original construction from the 60's or something...and it was finished only like 2 months ago... look out for Rojkind, he's now doing a project with Winka Dubbeldam (architectonics, NY), and another very good mexican young arquitect named Derek Dellekamp (yeah i know with all those lastnames they dont seem maexian, but they r), and its an appment tower in Miami, so watch out, forget about Norten from Mexico (he's just bluff), and weatch for new generations that comne with very interesting work...

Toro y Ferrer, Davis Fuster, Brigida Hogan and several others are doing some very nice work, though restrained compared to this thing.
do these guys have websites?
