BOTANIA
Botania is a psychosocial healing accommodation for women that, unlike other lodging spaces, focuses on improving the quality of life for its users. It encourages the implementation of healing habits for daily life. Through spaces that challenge traditional roles assigned to women, Botania fosters an environment where collaboration and co-creation are celebrated. Here, women have the freedom to explore, experiment, and express themselves without restrictions, breaking away from preconceived expectations and building new paradigms of equality and empowerment.

INDIGO COVE
This project consists of a destination hotel located in Playa Sámara, focused on teaching a healthy lifestyle. This goal is achieved through spaces that promote positive habits, allowing our visitors to gain greater longevity and vitality. The restaurant block and common areas have been primarily designed to encourage learning about nutritional and social health. This approach aims to create spaces where users can learn about the proper consumption and preparation of the food products they encounter daily. The space seeks to evoke a perception of natural luxury, primarily through the use of sober materials such as wood and concrete.

02. RENDERS
This section is dedicated to showcasing renders of projects that are not of my own authorship but have been created on behalf of other architects during the year 2024. These projects and designs reflect collaboration and teamwork within the architectural field, where the directives and visions of the responsible architects have been followed, contributing to the realization of their concepts and proposals through detailed and carefully crafted visual representations.
This project consists of an afrofuturist-themed nightclub located in Madrid, Spain. Through the use of renders, incorporating textures and lighting effects, an aesthetic in line with the desired concept was achieved. This project focuses on the use of artificial light to create a realistic level of detail, enhancing the overallambianceandexperienceofthespace.
