The project is situated at the municipality of Centro Habana, next to the historic center of Havana. The first intervention on the site was to create a program of strategic interventions to enhance the exceptional conditions of Galiano Avenue as a commercial center of the urban area of the traditional city. The next intervention was to create a program for the landuse of the avenue, through the definition of unique operational moments of different nature, but which function as a synergistic urban ecosystem, with points of confluence with exclusive characteristics.
The Galiano Avenue is transformed into a place with the aim of creating an experience. Actions are taken to turn it into a central hub of mobility and also an attractive space due to its extent. Public spaces are expanded at both ends, creating a boulevard from San Lázaro to Dragones streets. The avenue becomes highly frequented as it offers a wide variety of services throughout its entire length. Mixed land use promotes dynamic public activity, fostering urban collaborations to enhance the avenue's experience as a unique space in the city. Additionally, the avenue ceases to be merely a public street, eliminating perceived barriers between service space limits and allowing them to integrate with the avenue.
The final proposal consists of creating two anchor projects: urban spaces at each end of the avenue with the aim of enhancing the quality of the avenue's place. The proposal to the north enhances the city's relationship with the seafront through a public space that allows the street to extend towards the sea, and with it the access of people to water resources for recreational purposes. The southern proposal improves the conditions of the existing public space and enhances its previous condition as a connection node on a city scale and expands the equipment and mobility capabilities.
Treatment of the vehicular road to control traffic and vehicle speed
Renovation of the Street as a Public Space: Change of the section of Avenida Galiano to widen the sidewalks and give more prominence to pedestrian
Conceptual Floor Plan
Urban Vegetation is a resource to guarantee greater comfort to public space, but it becomes an essential design tool to generate landscape frame. This visuality synthetically projects the landscape-urban image relationship, revaluating and highlighting urban landmarks.
Public space is not constructed, but rather amounts to an experience. A structural landscape like filigree, filters internal synergies and establishes sensory relationships in all its dimensions.
Synthetic control over movility dynamics makes the public ecosystem survive any disturbing action of the automobile
Isolate the public space itself from the complex urban dynamics. Multiple experiences are generated, with vegetation as a visual and physical barrier, but also psychological, where the sensation of nature is expanded and takes the stay activity to another level
Havana is a city that sleeps early. Lively nights in the URBAN COMMERCIAL CENTER of the traditional city make the public space become a game board. Vital is to concentrate social forces. Public space is not a border, but rather attraction and confluences.
Conceptual Floor Plan
Trascend the democratic and public conception of the maritime front. Not waiting for the sea to come to us, but rather accessing it by unlocking the physical and cultural barriers that make us turn our backs on it. It is an opportunity
The city spaceis a multi-operational as well abiguous structure. It is a confluence in different scenarios because it allows the development of collective activities in unison. It is a space for buffering flows and voluntary concentration. Operational scenario for gastronomic, commercial and cultural fair activities

Ocially Protected Housing
A contemporary building in a modern urban context
TASK: the design of a 4-story condominium building
PROGRAM: housing
Site area: 276 sqm.
LAND USE: 61% max
MAX HEIGHT: 14.22 m
TYPE OF EXERCISE: executive project
TIME TO DESIGN: 2 months
The main idea of this project is based on granting officially protected housing of a medium-high standard for the Cuban Institute of Friendship with the Peoples (ICAP for its acronym in Spanish). The new buildind should fit harmoniously into the urban context surrounded by eclectic and modern buildings from the first half of the last century.
The project proposes an apartment building that establishes a dialogue between the codes of the mid-century modern and contemporary architecture. In this micro-condominium, tenants will be able to enjoy privacy as well as a close relationship with the environment.
The building is made up of 2 volumes: a public one with vertical circulation that gives access to the apartments, and a private one for the housings.
The building also has a semi-underground parking area where technical closets are also located.

The project arises in response to a social housing project in a vulnerable neighborhood of Havana. The project is premised on the use of Spiroll slabs as dividing elements and load-bearing walls.
Two proposals were made that would allow its isolated location or in dividing. The first proposal, for 4 people (2 bedrooms), can be combined in paired modules. The second proposal, for 6 people (3 bedrooms), can be combined in juxtaposed modules at their lateral ends and form extensive housing blocks.
The design of the houses is very simple, but guarantees efficient lighting and natural ventilation in all areas, with a modulation that is governed by the width of the hollowed-out slabs. 2 important decisions were made to reduce construction costs: to replace the roof slab with a galvanized zinc roof system to work on an interim basis, and not to use cladding on exterior and interior walls, instead roll texture was used applied directly to the walls.

This project is motivated by the interest of the Ministry of Justice of thr Republic of Cuba (MINJUS) in creating a School of Improvement or Branch School, with the objective of preparing cadres, reserves, officials and others specialists who, due to their functions and perspectives, of development require it, in addition to participating in scientific-technical innovation-development services and consultancies that correspond to the sector.
The School of Improvement Building is conceived as a large volume as an orthogonal prism with a rectangular base, two levels and high struts. On the facades most affected by solar radiation, solar protection elements are used that allow good lighting of the interior spaces, while limiting the incidence of radiation, thus achieving greater thermical comfort and greater energy efficiency. The central part of the main facade is open to highlight the access to the building with a double strut and access facade with a courtain wall that contrast with the permeability of the rest of the facades.
The Dormitory Building is conceived as a two-level building, lower than the school, with an interior patio to provide a semi-public green space and greater environmental comfort Due to the location, it is protected from solar radiation by the buildings around it. It has its main access from the parking area to the west of the school and is separated from it by vehicular access. Inside there are eight bedrooms with a maximum capacity of 28 people
The Residential Buildings are conceived as a housing complex unified by a central space between both volumes and, despite their typological differences, a union is perceived between both facades that face this space. Four types of apartments were planned, all with large balconies that favor the relationship of homes with the outdoor areas.

TASK: the design of high standard apartments in an existing building
PROGRAM: housing
Site area: to fit existing structure
LAND USE: architect choice
MAX HEIGHT: to fit existing structure
TYPE OF EXERCISE: executive project
TIME TO DESIGN: 4 month
The project is prepared based on the interest of the Council of State of the Republic of Cuba to continue a housing project at the beginning of this century. The project consist of adapting the housing design to an existing five-story structure, built in 2001, executed according to the original project of the residential complex.
The five levels of the building are made up of 4 homes (20 apartments in total), plus a semi-basement with parking function. It consist of 10 types of apartments with 2, 3 and 4 double bedrooms and outdoors areas between balconies and terraces. The maximum capacity of the building is 108 people.
For the facade proposal the project carried out in 2001 is taken as an external reference, maintaining the same projection concepts of the residential building. Towards the interior of the apartments, the premises were located taking into account their level of use and function for better climatic comfort towards the areas of greatest use and the bedrooms, looking for the prevaliling breeze regime and sunlight, and above all respecting the structure and existing perforations in the slabs for technical purposes.
The fundamental premise for the conception of the apartments is to achieve large spaces that integrate the living room, kitchen and dining room of the homes in an open and spacious space, and at the same time achieve privacy and high comfort in the bedrooms and anitary services of each apartment. The volumetric expression allows great use of the wide views to the sea and the environment around the building, this potential is used to provide interesting visuals to the spaces inside each apartment.
