CABANYAL HOUSING
We are talking, not just about housing design, but the new elderly and youth dwelling research. With 40 and 70 square meters respectively, they resolve the social problems we have to face nowadays. Hybridized in all its volume, and making itself as a whole, it is developed an elderly-aid and civic center.
2011
ARCHITECTURE Design of a housing and civic center hybrid in the Cabanyal neighborhood, made for Final Degree Project.
Location plan
The project raises the essential living aspects, since it is not just housing construction, but it creates life places for everyone. It is a new reference point in the neighborood.

PERM MUSEUM
The project raises the design of a museum that faces the Kama river, in the city of Perm.
2009
ARCHITECTURE Design of a museum in Perm (Russia), made for Design Studio II subject in Ghent (Belgium).
Adapting a continuous canopy along the steep land, the existing contour lines create the flow where every use will be carried out, both exhibition and maintenance.
A strong relationship has been searched between interior and exterior.

The volumes and the footpath intertwine between each others along the whole walk, creating diferent spaces while they meet.
ROW FAMILY HOUSES
It is about a group of houses thinked for moneyed families. The design tries to emphasize the changes in the perception of the interior as the day passes, that is the incorporation of the light as matter in the project.
Computer graphics redone in 2012.
2007
ARCHITECTURE Design of row family houses, made for Project Design III subjetc.

The vertical circulation appears as an element added to the main volume. Its design provides drama to the route, relating itself with several rooms, and it converts the user into part of the project.

BENICASSIM SPA
A concrete worm, which interior houses several livings, making an experience in itself. A strange relaxing concept, escaping from the commercial standard imposed by gresite and excess of lighting. A trip through the cave, with its textures and shadows as well as the uncertainty feeling that it can produce. Radicalism and contrast is what we can extract from the final result.
2006 ARCHITECTURE Design of a spa in BenicĂ ssim, made for Project Design II subject.

The volum emerge from several folds in the concrete. This gestures allow to open some gaps, in a natural way, for sunlight collection. The worm has a generous opening in its sea elevation, while West one, where a garden it is placed, it has not one as big as the other..
