¿Sabías que los bloques ornamentales y las terrazas de las tiendas Chick-fil-A en Puerto Rico forman parte de un diseño exclusivo para el mercado local?

Ambos elementos fueron creados en nuestra oficina en colaboración con CFA y fabricados localmente, destacando tanto la innovación en el diseño como la capacidad de producción de la isla.

Dato curioso: El diseño del bloque ornamental del servi-carro está inspirado en la cresta del gallo que forma parte del logo de Chick-fil-A, integrando de manera creativa la identidad de la marca en la arquitectura local.

AEREOPUERTO DE HUMACAO (HUC) (2026)

Every architectural project undergoes a process of evolution in which initial concepts are refined, reinterpreted, and developed through an integrated conceptual and technical approach. This section presents the final design proposal for the Regional Airport Terminal in Humacao, Puerto Rico, highlighting key design refinements that strengthen the project’s architectural identity and performance.

The revised scheme introduces a single-slope roof configuration, establishes a more prominent and clearly defined entrance, and expands the available roof area to maximize the potential for solar panel integration. These modifications reinforce the clarity of the architectural composition while addressing sustainability and functional efficiency.

The final proposal also explores the use of SCIP (Structural Concrete Insulated Panels) as an alternative construction system. By integrating structural concrete panels with thermal insulation, the approach seeks to streamline construction, improve building envelope performance, and support a more efficient construction process.

The resulting design balances architectural clarity, construction efficiency, and environmental responsiveness, establishing a cohesive architectural expression that responds to the project’s functional requirements and local context.

MAIN TERMINAL | REHABILITATION + RESILIENCE (2026)

From a military hangar to an airport terminal serving local flights and private aviation, the Main Terminal represents an infrastructure shaped by transformation and adaptation.

Following the damage caused by Hurricane Maria, the project introduces a new chapter for the building: to rehabilitate, reprogram, and strengthen its capacity to respond to the future.
The intervention integrates the renewal of the building envelope, roofing systems, and wall finishes, the reconfiguration of the existing layout, and the enhancement of interior finishes, with the goal of improving functionality, operational efficiency, and resilience to extreme weather events.

Rather than simply repairing an existing structure, the project seeks to extend its useful life and redefine its capacity for adaptation, creating a balance between transformation, continuity, and future needs.

Design Team: RCMDO in collaboration with LOA Ingenieros.

An Architecture for Adaptation

How do you turn a post-earthquake emergency response into a permanent learning environment? By transforming fast modular design into an interconnected campus.

Following the 2020 earthquakes in southern Puerto Rico, this project consolidated seven displaced schools between Guánica and Guayanilla into five resilient campuses. Standardized classroom modules strategically frame courtyards and covered corridors, while a back-to-back administrative spine serves multiple educational communities at once to eliminate structural redundancy. Marked by a welcoming entrance pavillion that connects the community to the school, the design transcends temporary relief to build a lasting civic identity.

El diseño y la arquitectura alcanzan su mayor potencial cuando integran perspectivas diversas. Por eso, la participación de Rafael Pelayo Castro en nuestro 2026 Summer Internship destaca la importancia de la gestión, la planificación, el pensamiento estratégico y las tareas que ocurren previo a la etapa de diseño. RCMDO Internship, es un programa diseñado para impulsar talento más allá de la arquitectura.

Celebremos el trabajo y crecimiento de Rafael. ¡Compártele un mensaje en los comentarios!

CASE STUDY: MODULAR HOUSING (2026)

How to respond to the affordable housing crisis for young professionals? Rethinking scale.

This project explores new ways of living based on an unconventional typology: micro-housing units designed within the dimensions of a shipping container. Located steps from the Sagrado Corazón Urban Train station, the proposal converts an industrial structure into a functional, adaptable, and accessible space.

The development includes two alternative typologies that incorporate a commercial component on the ground floor, connecting with the modular housing.

What do you think of this type of modular typology for the city?
