PRIM Garden

, a space for celebration, unity, creativity, and culture

A year after the completion of the General Prim building, in 1906, its neighboring building was inaugurated. Although the passage of time and the similarity in materials mean that their facades can now be seen as part of the same architectural complex architectural complex, their programs are completely different, the latter being an apartment building for the upper middle class of the time. The city expanded to other areas, and over the years, the building underwent various types of adaptations, maintaining its character as a multi-family dwelling but increasingly distancing itself from its original luxury. In its final years of occupancy, a large part of the building was advertised for plumbing work.

The house was acquired in 2013 by Proyectos Públicos and since then has been the venue for important cultural and festive events. A large 50-meter-long gabled roof, designed by the Productora architecture firm, is the most striking feature of this building, partially covering its three courtyards. A contemporary and light touch that, once again, symbolizes the different intersections of this building.

It is difficult to list all the activities that take place there, in a space that combines work areas, restaurants, short-stay apartments, and multiple areas dedicated to cultural events and celebrations.

Over the years, the building underwent various uses and changes of ownership, falling into disrepair until it was abandoned in the 1970s. However, its structure and façade, which includes a stone plaque from the Hacienda de la Encarnación, withstood the passage of time, preserving the essence of its original grandeur. In the 2000s, the INBA protected the building, denying its demolition and recommending its comprehensive restoration.

In 2013, the property was acquired for the creation of Proyecto Público Prim, transforming it into a space where history and nature meet. Jardín Prim 32, with its light and elegant structure designed by Productora in 2019, offers a contemporary setting that respects and enhances its historic architecture. Here, every event is celebrated surrounded by the magic of a glorious past, combined with the sophistication of the present.
