Design, patterns and symbols.
This is a contemporary design based on basic 3D cube shapes inspired in the modern brick houses that we build to live in these days. As our village grows we begin to feel a little bit of the urban feel with paved streets, new markets, an award winning design for the cultural center and the many artists that it hosts for events and workshops.
