Villa Brisana / Paul Raff Studio

In the lush, exclusive enclave of Dorado Beach on Puerto Rico's northern coast, Paul Raff Studio redefines tropical living with the renovation of Villa Brisana, a distinguished residence for a family of four. Originally built in 2001, the home's 3,380-square-foot interior lacked the spaciousness and connection to nature that the region's tropical climate demands. Under Paul Raff's guidance, the Toronto-based architectural firm transformed it into an expansive 4,145-square-foot sanctuary, effortlessly blurring the lines between indoors and out.
