Villa Brisana, after dark. The terracotta screens, doing its quietest and best work.

Even the workspace at Villa Brisana was designed around one idea: you’re never far from the outdoors. A desk tucked against a private courtyard, lush greenery pressing right up against the glass — proof it applies to every room.

Some rooms are for gathering. This one is for slowing down.

Somewhere between solving a problem and making something beautiful, this screen happened.

Terracotta, hand-set, built to filter light and hold privacy — and along the way, it became one of Villa Brisana’s most iconic details.

Living room, kitchen, dining — walk through any of them and the outdoors is never far from view.

Set among the palms on Puerto Rico’s northern coast, Villa Brisana is a study in warmth — terracotta and whitewashed stucco, catching the afternoon light.

What a night! Last week we gathered with our team, collaborators, clients, family and friends to celebrate the Banff National Park Visitor Centre win and it was one to remember.

Our Principal, Paul Raff, put it best: “Architecture is ultimately built on trust — the trust to explore ideas together, to take on ambitious challenges, and to believe that good design can make a meaningful and lasting positive impact.”

Thank you to everyone who came out to celebrate with us. This kind of moment doesn’t happen often, and it meant so much to share it with all of you.

Now, onto the exciting work ahead.

We are proud to share that Paul Raff Studio, in collaboration with Kengo Kuma & Associates and landscape architects DTAH, has been selected as the winning team in the international design competition for the Banff National Park Visitor Centre.

Organized by Parks Canada and the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada, our proposal was chosen from a distinguished shortlist of six teams for its clarity, restraint, and deep responsiveness to place. As Mike Brennan of the RAIC noted, the jury’s decision was “unanimous and confident”.

We are deeply grateful to Parks Canada and the RAIC for entrusting us with one of Canada’s most symbolic civic landscapes — and to every community, collaborator, and voice that shaped this vision.

We are excited to bring it to life.
