We restore historic buildings with respect, purpose, and contemporary vision.
At Díaz Paunetto Arquitectos, we believe that architecture is memory built in stone, wood, and concrete. Within every historic structure lies a story worth preserving—not just for what it was, but for what it can become. That is why we have embraced historic interventions as a vital part of our practice: to protect the architectural legacy of Puerto Rico while giving it new life, purpose, and relevance.
What sets us apart
-
Careful study of each structure’s historical, cultural, and spatial value
-
Integration of sustainable systems without compromising building identity
-
Restoration of original materials and introduction of new elements with subtlety and care

Adaptation of spaces to meet current codes and functions—without erasing their essence
