Architect Mayna Magruder Ortiz and Bad Bunny’s ‘La Casita’: How a House from Humacao Became the Stage of the Year. Mayna Magruder Ortiz designed a stage that became the new highlight of Bad Bunny's concerts. Inside 'La Casita' you'll find the ambiance of a genuine Puerto Rican home and surprise appearances from the world of celebrities.
This season, discussions around Bad Bunny once again went beyond music—this time, the focus was not only on his new tour program "Debí Tirar Más Fotos" but also on a stage design that is already being called one of the show's most recognizable features. We're talking about "La Casita"—the house that has become not just a set piece, but a true symbol of the artist's concerts. Behind this project is architect and artist Mayna Magruder Ortiz, whose name is now mentioned alongside the most talked-about figures in Spanish celebrity culture.
A stage that became an event
"La Casita" debuted on stage with the start of Bad Bunny's world tour in November 2025 and immediately became a magnet for attention. According to Divinity, this very structure has become the place everyone wants to be—not just fans, but top-tier celebrities as well. In Spain, where the tour is currently playing to sold-out crowds, "La Casita" has already hosted Ibai, Úrsula Corberó, Lamine Yamal, Ester Expósito, María León, Chiara Ferragni, Marta Ortega, Hiba Abouk, and Los Javis. In Puerto Rico, notable guests included Karol G and Pedro Pascal. Getting inside is a privilege reserved for a select few, and each such visit turns into news itself.
Puerto Rican roots on stage
Mayna Magruder Ortiz approached the project not as just another stage assignment, but as an opportunity to tell a story. In an interview with El nuevo día, she admitted to being inspired by a real house in Humacao—that's where Bad Bunny grew up. For the architect, it was crucial to preserve the atmosphere of an authentic Puerto Rican home: a kitchen turned into a bar, soft furnishings, interior details, and even ceramics—all created by local artists. Every element of "La Casita" is more than just decoration; it is a part of the artist's personal history, now on display to the whole world.
A place of power and attraction
Of particular interest is how 'La Casita' was integrated into the structure of the show. At the beginning and end of the concert, Bad Bunny is supported by Los Pleneros de la Cresta, and at the climax, the artist ascends to the roof of his 'home' to orchestrate a dance explosion for the audience. This stage became not only a visual centerpiece but also a new point of attraction for celebrities and fans. According to Mayna Magruder Ortiz, the structure was initially designed so that dancers and guests could be safely present on it, and every element was thought out in detail—from furniture to decor.
Attention to detail and atmosphere
After completing work on 'La Casita,' the architect admitted she was nervous—the project turned out so unusual and personal. The audience and guests' reaction only reinforced the feeling that this stage became something more than just part of the show. As Divinity notes, 'La Casita' is not only an architectural object but also a space where the past and present of Bad Bunny meet, as well as some of the most talked-about names on the Spanish and global scene.
Interestingly, in recent months, the Spanish celebrity news has been increasingly focusing on personal stories and unexpected twists in the lives of stars. For example, the graduation of Jennifer Lopez's son, who changed his name and gender, recently drew attention—the details of this event can be found in the article about the family's reaction and the discussion in the USA.
