Garage Cerrito, Montevideo

Garage Cerrito, Montevideo

This is the Garage Cerrito in Montevideo designed by architect Rafael Lorente. It's got so much going for it. Portholes. An entrance with a great shape.

I really like how the columns seem to break through the angled wall of the entrance.

And, of course, the architect's name proudly displayed on the façade.

    The angled wall at the entrance is very sleek *nod*

    And fantastic... an architect who signs his work, just as a painter who signs and dates his painting. I see no difference between a visual artist, a writer or a musician, for that matter, when it comes to a creative person's pride in ownership.

      Exactly Hels and this is the building I was thinking of when I mentioned to you that architects put their name to buildings in South America.
