Isla Verde, Carolina, PR | 2022

Inspired by the name Aquabella, the design embraces shades of blue, fluidity, transparency, and curved forms that evoke the essence of water. In renovating an existing structure into a modern guest house, the new design seamlessly integrates the brand’s fresh, contemporary identity with the tropical, beachy atmosphere of the area.

 

Perforated metal screens serve as the primary architectural feature, offering sun protection while casting fluid, ever-changing shadows that contrast elegantly with the building’s orthogonal geometry. A durable, rough-finished concrete path ties together the apartments and recreational spaces, providing a harmonious, understated connection throughout.

 

Circular windows, reminiscent of nautical portholes, enhance the beach-inspired aesthetic, while the backyard has been transformed into an inviting recreational area complete with a pool, sun deck, and gazebo. The branding, including the logo and signage, was developed in tandem with the architectural design, ensuring a cohesive and unified visual language throughout the project.
