This is an inspirational space, both teachers and students seem to thrive within the environment. The daylight is beautiful, abundant yet balanced - the combination of double-aspect teaching spaces, roof-lights and moments of exposed translucent façade of double-skin polycarbonate, is bewitching.

Taking on an icon is not an easy task but when client and architect understand each other, the job is less daunting. It is clear here that t-sa and the clients hit the ground running. The success of the project owes much to the holistic approach to the interiors.
Eileen Gray furniture is used throughout giving an added touch of design excellence to the environment and working well with the ambience of the different spaces. There are thoughtful touches elsewhere including the re-appropriation of the iconic ‘Renoir’ sign in the rear of the largest screening room.

In the heart of the Caribbean Sea, the island of Puerto Rico shines like a newly polished emerald—bound by history, nurtured by culture, full of life, incredible food, vivacious music, warm people, spectacular beaches and a promising design community. But its economic crisis has put the island on the global spotlight in the most unfortunate of ways, with the international media pessimistically dubbing it ‘the Greece of the Caribbean’. Like Greece, there's much more to la isla bonita (‘the pretty island’, as it was known around the world) than economic and political woes, and if we were to take a look inside the island, peeking through the leaves of its palm trees and luscious fauna, we'd find a people who are determined to succeed and survive; a people who are creative and bold. That's why this summer, we're lobbying for Puerto Rico.
