Anyone who has seen the luxury villas of Mirador del Sur phase 2 in San Eugenio Alto, will already appreciate the design flair of architect Antonio del Pozo Mozo. The individual style he brings to each of the 17 detached and semi detached villas, has brought him an army of admirers, and now he is set to transform one of the most iconic buildings in Santa Cruz, the long abandoned bull ring.
Plaza de Torros in La Rambla del General Franco, hasn’t staged bull fights since they were banned in the Canary Islands in 1983, since then, apart from the odd concert, the building has been unused and allowed to slip into disrepair as arguments raged on about its future. Last weekend the Santa Cruz council invited architects to exhibit plans for the building in Parque Garcia Sanabria, for members of the public to examine, and then vote for their favourite, before a panel of experts led by the mayor, gave their final say. There were 35 entries but Plaza de Todos by Antonio del Pozo Mozo , Cesar de Pozo Ortega and Carlos Bernal Limiñana was a clear winner with the public and unanimously backed by the panel of experts.
The winning design preserves the facade of the building but opens up large areas to allow light and space for leisure use. Antonio is known for his attention to detail and sense of style, you may have to wait a year or two before the bull ring shows its new face, but Mirador del Sur is ready to show you how good home design can be .
