The Edificio Aboy (also El Faro) is a private three-level residence located in San Juan, on the island of Puerto Rico. It is located in Miramar, an area of Santurce, which is a barrio of San Juan.

Made of concrete with metal and wood details, the residence features large bay windows on all floors, and circular balconies that curve around a corner of the building. The Edificio Aboy is one of the best representations of Art Deco style on the island of Puerto Rico.[2]
