Cuban architect, one of the three authors — with Rafael Fernández Ruenes and José Menéndez — of the Bacardí Building in Havana, the commission for which he is remembered. Bacardí S.A. wanted a headquarters that would read as a corporate emblem, and the team delivered Cuba's fullest statement of Art Deco: a steel-framed tower on reinforced concrete slabs, twelve levels stepped back to a belvedere carrying the company's bronze bat. The cladding catalogues imported material — Bavarian granite, glazed terracotta, pressed brick, polychrome tile — its glazed ceramic panels echoing Catalan modernisme reworked into Deco geometry. Wikidata carries no entity for him; the attribution here follows the Spanish Wikipedia article on the Edificio Bacardí, and his dates are not established in the sources consulted.
