 CERRO BALCON

  This stunning residence is described by its designer as a "living art piece".

The concept is a combination of bold aesthetics and practicality. Built to weather the centuries, the residence is its own sculptural environment.

  

Designed by award-winning designer, Fu Tung Cheng, known for his innovative use of concrete and his philosophy of simplicity and elegance, this home has been featured in "Global Architecture Houses" and "Architectural Record".

Views are framed by openings of unconventional sizes, shapes, and placement. These carefully combined details create a magical, intriguing environment.

Sunlight and moonlight enter the interior through dramatic sky lights in endlessly changing light patterns.

Falling water and a flowing stream glisten in an adjacent passageway. Other innovative features include structural concrete columns that have been poured into fabric forms to create sensuous shapes and concrete countertops and floors that expose various unlikely types of polished aggregates.

The views from this residence match the elegance of its architecture. Sited atop the highest privately-owned peak of Culebra, known as Cerro Balcón, this "balcony" 550 feet above sea level is a close second in altitude to Culebra’s highest peak, Monte Resaca, in the Culebra National Wildlife Refuge. Stretching 360 degrees, views encompass the Virgin Islands, the mountains of Puerto Rico, and the Atlantic Ocean and Caribbean Sea.
