DENIAL ANd REWARD
Architecture has been giving the pragmatic solutions to evident and in evident problems. We first need to understand the capabilities and possibilities that architecture has in every specific project.
Santa Maria Atzompa beholds the challenge of developers using the land needed for clay production, an activity from which the whole town depends on, the solution of creating “more earth” is beyond architecture. It is the same architecture the one capable of making the situation once invisible, visible.
Allocation of the pieces is based on the understanding of the site. The existing vegetation and land conditions are in a way, the first history. Land, mountains, geography, is the preexistence that we often forget about. This project makes it evident.
Spatial Relationships. Occupancy ratios of a multiple-piece-program on site
The program is the product of the analysis and deep understanding of the region social, geographical, and economic context.
Managing stories, activities, problematics and translating it to an architectural solution that gives meaning and purpose to a specific region was the main challenge and achievement
We add up the stories of different actors to define the allocation of every piece/story. Every story requires a specific grammar, this translates into specific materiality. Pigmented concrete, rammed earth, or wood. Specific light conditions that show seasonal changes, height constraints as scale references to the context, creating a dialog with the shape of the vernacular in a contemporary manner.
Results were achieved by: Managing information, filtering and making decisions based on evidence and setting milestones and deliverables expectations within the project team to meet deadlines.
PROJECT: MIXED-USE (RESIDENTIAL, COMMERCIAL) | LOCATION: SAN LUIS OBISPO, CA | DATE: SPRING 2016
COLLABORATION: JORGE NEVE + ANGELICA QUACH

SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION: http://digitalcommons.calpoly.edu/arcesp/13
Diverse neighborhoods surrounding the area, the historical background and the current needs of the city, set the design parameters for the program.
Addressing the needs, the project opens itself to the city with the main courtyard. The residential units, each with a private balcony/terrace, and the light/ air openings between units give an original and irregular look to the facade. The use of industrial materials and dynamic open shape encourages a more diverse audience and activities.
The project considered all structural aspects, materials and design constraints with 4th-year ARCE students. Managed and led the design approach with the structural team for a functional and viable architecture + structural project.

Accessibility
Courtyard
Building Openings Parking View Axis
The selection criterion for structure considered the compatibility of lateral - gravity systems, seismic performance, cost, building program, the historic relevance of materials, maintenance, sustainability and overall design.
CFS cold-formed steel.
Metal studs.
Sure-board.
Concrete.
The proposal strives to fulfill pre-established goals:
Provide open spaces for the residential units
• Bring natural light inside the buildings.
• Hide the parking garage.
• Create an interior courtyard.
• Open the buildings to the surroundings with terraces, balconies and roof gardens.
• Successfully lead the design of structural and architecture in the assigned team
CASA MARTINEZ
PROJECT: SINGLE FAMILY (RESIDENTIAL) | LOCATION: QUERETARO, MX | DATE: SPRING 2022
COLLABORATION: JORGE NEVE (COMPLETED)
The project is based on the idea of keeping a close relationship with nature. Ceiling height is increased to allow for better thermal conditions in the summer and opens windows in key locations to allow for sunlight to get in the construction during winter. There is a visual and physical connection with nature through the entrance, living and dining areas.
Functionality was a key requirement of the project. It was defined having the social areas of the home all connected on one side and the private areas on a separate part.
The process was aided by analog and digital methods to portray both the client and team the design intentions.
Casa Martinez is a Design-Build residential project taking into account close client oversight and specific design preferences. Going through Schematic Design and Design Development phases with a planned projection of milestones and early involvement of surveyors, contractors and engineers allowed for the project to be easily approved and fast tracked into the construction documents, Bidding and Construction Administration phases.
CARLSBAD BEACH HOUSE
PROJECT: SINGLE FAMILY MAJOR RENOVATION (RESIDENTIAL) | LOCATION: CARLSBAD, CA | DATE: WINTER 2016
COLLABORATION: H+K ARCHITECTS, JORGE NEVE (COMPLETED)
This major renovation of a 1950s home 40’ above the ocean. Only three walls of the existing garage were kept to maintain setbacks. With 9,500sf this home a lower level theater, playroom, wine room, and courtyard. A 35’ tall atrium soars by a folding window wall system and an impressive 19’ diamater skylight allows for natural lighting above the 3 story helix stairs. The open floorplan is oranized to show ocean views and provides a virety of unique living spaces.
This residence is a highly detailed and complex project that required a lot of communication and efficiency. Every line shown in plans from soffits, interior elevations, skylights, wall texture and so on, is there for a reason complementing the final design.
Carlsbad Beach House is Major Residential Renovation project where I was deeply involved in the Design Development and Construction Documents phase. My involvement with the team achieved a correct set of documents including detail sheets, florplans, elevations, sections, schedules digital models, and all the necessary information required for other consultants and the construction team to work with.
