DUAL LIFE HOUSE October - December 2014
The design of this one room house allows for a fluid relationship with the landscape around it, as if it is a continuation of this scenery. An extended threshold, formed by a wide wall, serves as the working space for both inhabitants. In the double-height ground floor there is a large kitchen with a lengthy countertop that links the house with a kitchen garden. Both the working space and the kitchen are designed so that they define two different axes of movement, delimiting the space of each inhabitant.

SEGOVIA - MAPPING THE CITY WALL February 2015
This map of the city of Segovia shows the results of an analysis of the city wall. The study includes the parts of the wall that are accessible from both inside and outside the city, its different height levels and the different puertas and postigos.

ANALOGOUS TOWERS Aprill - May 2015
These analogous towers are designed to be placed in the JardĂn de los Poetas (Segovia), a public garden next to the city wall, and contain the headquarters of the four art festivals that take place in Segovia during the year. The towers are individual buildings connected by the wall, as they are crossed by it. The towers have large windows in their north façades framing views of the Eresma valley and its river.

WALKWAY FOLLY March 2015
This folly aims to create a place for people to walk around and reflect on the different stages of the creative process, which is sometimes fluent and smooth, but can get stuck in a concentration of thoughts and ideas. The folly consists of four towers and a path above the ground that connects them. Each tower has an internal spiral staircase that serves as the structure for its casing, which gets narrower as its height increases.

CELL PAVILION November 2014 - May 2015
This pavilion is designed and built using digital fabrication tools. Its function is to provide a space that allows people to interact between them and with its surroundings, bringing them closer in a natural environment. At the same time, it intends to create a green/ growing area that encourages sustainable activities. Its cell like shape and design serve as a reminder of what shapes the nature around us.

Waterwall September 2015
During the 10th edition of the Hay Festival last September I had the opportunity to work with the Indian architect Anupama Kundoo and her team in the construction of an instalation composed of 5,000 water bottles. The aim of this work was to defend the value of water as essential natural resource and to raise awareness on the spectetor about the importance of protecting this limited means.
