According the urban law of the villas we had to submerge two fully functional and individual villas in a narrow plot. We came out with an idea of a staircase buildings. Distribution was done on the west side of the plot by a small corridor while the east
side was liberate for the private yard of the villas. The idea was to catch as much as possible of the natural light during the day. On the same time entrance was done always on the upper floor which included the living room, kitchen and a big terrace
with a swimming pool. The bottom floor included the bedrooms with all of them opening on the outside yard. The yard was fully costumaizamble according the needs of each client. Options include spa pools, jaccuzzi , wooden deck etc.

Working with the section of the villas we wanted to give the possibility of the opposite island views to each villa. On the same time privacy was obtained by elevating one villa on the high of the roof top of the other.
On the same time we kept a good separation within the night and day zones of the villa by having them one on top of the other. To make sure that buldings was going to stay ‘‘silent’’ on the landscape this section let
only the upper part to be visible from the outside.Parking places where also inspired as caves so cars can be kept inside. Trees and plants were planted in strategical places to help blending nature and architecture.

Buerchen Mystik Hotel Resort, Buerchen Square | Buerchen, Switzerland
1st phase completed | Work in progress
Buerchen Public Square Location: Zenhäusern,Bßrchen, Switzerland. Year: 2015. Status: Completed
Buerchen public square is located at Buerchen village in Switzerland. This project apart from its public space functionality has an economic strategy behind. A law in Switzerland voted in 2013 prohibited the construction of a second house causing a huge crisis at the village of Buerchen mainly having income from its local wooden factory from housing consctruction. The response was to convert the
11
wooden factory for housing to a modern public furniture manufacturer. By providing a contemporary design and with the incredible knowledge and tradition of the people of Buerchen on wooden structures we were able to execute the first product of this idea. Two massive totally wooden benches made by several pieces each. The composition of this benches reminds a bit the well famous Legos that one

fits the other perfectly to compose a bigger element. The first bench is made out of 23 pieces and the second one by 34. Both benches needed 25m3 of massif wood to be done. During the design progress I was
responsible on fabricating the wooden model at a scale of 1/25 made with balsa wood. The idea was to follow the basic shape of the 3D drawings but find out the best way in cutting the wood and combining the wooden pieces.
One of the challenges we faced was a technical limitation defining that each piece had to fit into a trunk no bigger than 50cm wide and 6 meter long. Each piece of the 57 in total was designed according that.

After completing the design of the pieces we worked on the construction detail of the lights. Lights had to be hidden form the outside view while linear beams had
to highlight the benches. Special attention was given on the continuity of the pieces and the homogeneity between benches, pieces and lights.
The benches become a natural element blending with the surroundings of this small village providing its people with a small public space to meet, play and live together.

Commercial zone of Port of Puerto de la Cruz | Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, Canary Islands
Commercial zone of the port of Puerto de la Cruz. Location: Tenerife, Spain. Year: 2015.
The town of Puerto de la Cruz has always been an example in the history of tourism on the Canary Islands as a pioneer in tourism development; It is therefore a mature and well experienced destination that has suffered the consequences of time and, despite its undoubted value, needs a major renovation. Taking advantage of the creation of the new port area, we present a complete regeneration of the whole waterfront, which, together with creation of a multifunctional area around the waterfront allows intervention of a large-scale urban regeneration. According to these needs, the recovery of the original position of the waterline is considered. It disappeared in the 50s and 60s with the construction of a shoulder wall and a huge esplanade with maritime

Working on the plan we imagined a shopping mall as a cracked rock where its pieces match each other when bring together. These shapes are divided to multiple shops and restaurants according to the zones. To complete the design inspiration of
the cracked rock we decided to ‘‘dress’’ the outside of the buildings with black rocks and the inside with white rock. This contrast between the interior and the exterior is a recall to a canary rock that it’s black on the outside but
when cracked is white inside. The first building on the east side it is the fish market where local fisherman will be able to sell their fish. It is placed on at the entrance of the shopping mall and near the big plaza where multiple events will be

taking place during the year. The channel will give better accessibility to the sea, improving the connection between downtown and the port, increased surface parking. For such purposes, we propose the idea of creating a single equidistant
access within the new maritime front, creating public areas as points of articulation between the city, the existing port and the new sport port. Thus, it seeks to recover a buried channel today by filling material, which will go with a stream caused by the
tides rise and fall of the new field of sport-fishing port. The effect will be the renovation of the water and the creation of new habitat for species in the Canaries coastal. At another level, there will be a promenade with sundeck platform for public to enjoy.

A project for promoting and encouraging this contemplation; we highlight the industrial and historical value of Battersea power station. We propose to create something that London requires from the thames river. A place where the spirit and liveliness
of summer is maintained throughout the year: A place to live happily and joyfully. As a symbolic action we proposed to create a transparent swimmingpool suspended over the jetty, which respects and exalts formality.
This emblematic jetty will create an environment on the riverfront site with different functions like open air swimming, live performances, screen projections, feasts and elegant dinners, parties, weddings and other private and public events.

Completed work
-HATCHINGthe origination of a city Location: CajaCanarias, Tenerife, Spain. Completion year: 2015.
This exhibition was a summary based on the experimentation and innovation in the architecture of Fernando Menis. The main idea of this exhibition focused on the creation of a large scale piece, with dimensions up to 3mx3mx3m (Hatching), as well as several work models made out of diverse materials, each of them representing its most topical works.

Hatching - The origination of a city, Fernando Menis exposition | Tenerife, Spain
My responsibilities where: - Preparation of the sculpture - Materials and modes to be exposed - Be in contact with the exposition area responsible for mounting and dismounting the exposition. An important part in Fernando Menis working process has always been research. As a sign of this scientific aspect, the Menis team entirely sculpted a cubical form to portray the results so far in a still open-ended
inquest: would it be possible to create an ideal city with sustainable energy and natural beauty? This question and its subsequent creative process stands not only as an architectonic work but also as an arduous and extensive investigation focused on the alliance between a particular structure and the forces of nature of its location, making those work together as a single unit and creating an environment that encourages and
supports life inside of It. The original dimensions of this life producing machine(1kmx1kmx1km) are here reduced to allow visitors to understand and explore its impressiveness. The porous texture of the Foamglas material, which the piece is made of, is a direct representation of and easily sculpted by nature forces surface(wind, sunlight and temperature among others).

reception entrance desk Project: Tenerife Fine Arts Center (Circulo de Bellas Artes de Tenerife) Objetct: Reception Desk Material: Foam Dimensions:120cmX50cmX40cm.
The Tenerife Fine Arts Center (Circulo de Bellas Artes de Tenerife) is a non-profit entity funded in 1925, which recently refreshed its long lasting history with a strong public engagement program. Fernando Menis was entrusted to improve the usability of the building and renew the Arts Center. The project redesigns the entrance and the circulations across the 5 floors in order to make all parts of the building easily accessible. The highlight of the intervention is the custom made welcome
desk, which looks more like of a site specific installation than a furniture object. Moreover, the interactive lighting varies in relation with the human presence as well as with the season of the year. This unique foam model represents the reception desk of the Circulo de Bellas Artes building in Tenerife Canary islands. The desk in real is made out of thousands of concrete bricks (8cmX8xmX8cm). For the needs of this model the bricks were made out of foam and the scale is 1/25.
