ABOUT
Energetic, passionate and highly motivated architect designer with 5 years of experience in multi-disciplinary fields of architecture. I developed a great interest in quality design where the smallest details are considered as a vital part of each project. During those years I have being involved in projects of different scales from concept to construction which has developed a knowledge of construction processes that I believe are vital to a successful and functional design. I’m currently working as an independent architect and looking for an internship that I believe it would keep nurturing my knowledge and will show me different perspective of how a project should be conceive.

CAPIRO / A LANDSCAPE HONOR Use: Residential Location: La Ceja, Ant. Area: 568 m2 Design - Construction Located in a wet and cold rural ecosystem. It consists of three volumes that adapt to the steep topography of the site allowing the enjoyment of nature and view of the valley of St. Nicholas. A volume for the social, other for the private area, both connected together by a third volume. Surrounded by a local landscape and built with materials that are integrated in the context by its colors, it creates a friendship between man and nature architecture. Due to the lack of water in the future this project has a system of collecting rainwater, which is treated and recycled into the house.

PADUA / TRADITION FIRST Use: Residential Location: El Carmen, Ant. Area: 320 m2 Design - Construction Especially design for a senior couple seeking for a contemporary house with traditional elements and details of local architecture. This house consists of two volumes, one intended for the social and the other with two levels to the private area of rooms. Materiality and details evoke the traditional architecture while retaining a design that in the future remains current. Its geometry opens like a fan to an unrivaled view of a pine forest that blends with the surrounding landscape.

EAFIT / REFURBISHMENT AND EXTENTION
Use: Education Location: Medellin, Ant. Area: 12.911 m2 Design The project for the transformation of the former four blocks developed within the educational campus of EAFIT University in the city of Medellin, it seeks to transcend the idea of campus to the idea of a university park. The master plan proposed to remodel five old blocks of the university and bring it up to five floors each, the proposal went beyond individual transformation of each of the blocks to turn them into a single large building that permits general interconnection as a single system, integrating the interior gardens, allowing urban campus permeability of the first level and eliminating classrooms to deliver this space to the students.
