Juan Zorrilla and Trinidad Baquero, a duo of architects bound not only by their shared passion for design but also by the bonds of love, stand as the heart and soul of our architectural dynasty. Their journey, intertwined with the visionary pursuits of the PuntaCana Group, reads like a tale spun from the stars.

As they weave their magic across landscapes, their creations become more than mere structures; they are love letters etched upon the earth, destined to stand as testaments to their boundless affection for both their craft and each other. Together, they shape destinies and shape the very fabric of our world, leaving behind a legacy of love and architectural brilliance that will endure for generations to come.

'Patios' emerges as a heartfelt ode from the editor Nelia Barletta, a testament to her passion for capturing the essence of this historic city, co-authored with Carlo Reyes, a visionary among the quartet of talented photographers.

As the lens captures the enchanting interplay of light and shadow, the viewer is transported into a realm where time stands still, and every corner reveals a story waiting to be told. Whether it's the ethereal beauty of ivy cascading over ancient stone or the gentle embrace of moss adorning forgotten pathways, these images are imbued with the magic of love and longing.

Through 'Patios,' we are invited to immerse ourselves in the captivating allure of these hidden sanctuaries, where history and romance intertwine, leaving an indelible mark on our hearts and minds.
