America Central y el Caribe

March–April

Domus America Central y el Caribe, March-April 2017
Whatever the reason for the trip, the experience is to interact and learn more about other customs, lifestyles and interact with the locals. Architecture is an indispensable actor in every traveler’s pleasure.

In every city of Central America, there has been, for several years, a fascinating transformation, motivated by the large number of visitors. Not only hotels and accommodation of all types and budgets have been built, but the gastronomic and urban cultural offer has improved. The same trend happens in beaches, jungles, volcanoes and archaeological sites.

This issue of Domus America Central y el Caribe show some of the latest projects for hospitality and entertainment. The Good Hotel in Antigua Guatemala by Remko Verhaagen, recycles an old mansion, and turns it into a modern lodging in the heart of a city declared a World Heritage Site by Unesco. In Costa Rica, another old commercial building, becomes the new image of a traditional coffee shop, Azafrán, a project by Design Lab by Esteban Salazar and PARQ Arquitectura.

The renovated old town of Panama, offers diverse attractions for locals and tourists. Ocho y Medio, designed by Daniela Manfredi and Johann Wolfschoon, provides an elegant atmosphere to enjoy excellent food.

In this edition we also publish exclusively, the Centro del Patrimonio Inmobiliario, designed by the Mexican architect Víctor Márquez. A project consisting of five outdoor spaces that respond largely to the relationship between energy saving and human activity in the interior.
