PORTUONDO PEROTTI ARCHITECTS
At Portuondo Perotti Architects, free-flowing creativity, spatial intelligence and an understanding of techniques both modern and classical combine to create structures that radiate a timeless quality regardless of style. Since first opening its doors in 1986, the firm has left architectural masterpieces in its wake from the Florida Keys to Palm Beach. Led by President and Lead Designer Rafael Portuondo and Vice President Jose Luis Gonzalez Perotti, the firm has become known for its ability to accommodate the ideas, wants, needs and style preferences of its clients. Portuondo, Perotti and their team are experts in classicism, modernism and everything in between, believing that the key to great architecture lies in a balance of past and present, trend and timelessness. “We find beauty in many styles”, Perotti says. “ As architecture evolves, new styles tend to draw inspiration from the past. The most succesful architecture in the modern style derives its fundamentals of proportion from the classical styles”. In addition to their architectural pursuits, the Portuondo Perotti Architects team has spent the past six years building their interior architecture department, enabling them to provide a diversity of services to their clients. When asked to expound upon their creative process, Portuondo and Perotti point to their understanding of the stages of a project as being crucial to achieving the desired end product. “The creative process involves a combination of researching, sketching and ultimately creating”, Portuondo says. “For me, the most interesting part is the curiosity in not knowing what is next. Given the variety of project types, there is an element of the unknown that is exciting”. Dedicating principal involvement from beginning to end, Portuondo Perotti Architects strives to create beautiful, bold and timeless works of art.
