The Giacopello Pavilion / HDA is a sleek and modern structure designed by renowned architect Hector Delmar

The Giacopello Pavilion is part of the second edition of Casa Besign Puebla, an event where more than twenty offices of designers, architects, and landscapers participate by intervening with a space in an old house. This year, Casa Giacopello was chosen - popularly known as the House of the Dwarves - which was built in the 19th century and is located in the centre of Puebla City.

The rooftop of a house was transformed by HDA: Hector Delmar Arquitectura + Taller Paralelo into a garden terrace. The space, which was previously used as a service area made up of three attics, now serves as an extension of the house's habitable spaces. The design features three wooden platforms connected by a light structure, referencing the three attics linked by the existing mansard. The platforms are suspended on steel profiles to minimize the weight on the slab and beam structure.
