id12ยบ77ยบ is an Architecture and Design Studio established in Lima I was hired as Project Manager to carry out two projects of remodeling, renovation and interior design as well as to improve the existing draft of a residential building and make the interior design and facades of it
Lima (Peru)
FACADE PROJECT A green curtain and a free-standing staircase (as a body lined with tubular wood) completely transform the wall and immediately link the building with the park.
In this project, the client wanted to transform the top floor of his home into an office making this floor independent from the rest of the residence. The two objectives were: - Resolve the independent access from the street to 3rd level - Adapt a small plant with different floor levels to the office space requirements (3 offices, 1 Main office, 8 workers and a common work / meetings area)
PREVIOUS facade. The intervention takes place on the top floor. SURROUNDINGS of the house OTHER PROPOSALS
The staircase necessarily have to be in the main facade and it was thought from the outset as a sculptural element that provide personality to a nondescript facade . Due to the lack of interest of the building and the positive point that it was in front of a green area, I decided to intervene on the whole facade, making it a green wall The green wall and wooden stair seek to establish a direct relationship with the trees area and these elements revitalize the front facade that had no singularity at the beginning.

REFORM PROJECT
Some pieces of FURNITURE DESIGNED for the common work area. Each pair of workers share a color; within uniformity, it appears a distinctive touch. The 2 main materials (in the whole project too) are wood and glass in two of their forms: transparent / translucent and varnished / lacquered
“Klohn Crippen Berger” engineering is the owner of the property and, due to the growth of the company, they had to occupy the 3rd floor; this floor was the only one not properly enable to host workers. The reform design covered the three facets proposed as the objective of the refurbishment: conditioned space, accommodation for more seats of which already exists and improvement of public and work areas.
I made the reform project, interior and furniture design.
The final project opts for a new distribution of work areas to participate in a common, wide and light-filled space instead of small rooms.
Furniture is designed to align with the geometry of the space in order to provide privacy for each worker and get the number of seats requested. A private office and a meeting room are required. Since this private room would not going to be used frequently, it was thought that both dwellings could offer the possibility to become one to provide greater versatility. The terrace was reduced according to current use to achieve a plus of interior space.

Collective Housing
2014
in Lima (Peru)
The housing project for middle class had severe economic constraints. This point forced us to place ground floor apartments in order to increase the number of units. Only with one facade and complying with the compulsory free area and setbacks, the project adopts a U-shape in order to gain a green interior quality space to open dwellings to it.

There was a strong determinant: the economic viability. As a guideline, the project requires a minimum of nine apartments per floor and these should have an area between 60 and 80 m2 in order to be profitable (they were intended for Sector C).
The geometry fully addresses the objectives: -The urban development parameters oblige to recess the façades. -At least 9 apartments per floor. -The Budget requires the minimum number of nucleus of communication. The project has just 2 to serve each plant.
The central square is projected as a combination of green and seating areas and spaces to walk. This interior courtyard has been transformed into a sort of “green lung” to enrich the views from the inner dwellings and improve the life in the building.
Complying with the planning regulations, All the apartments come with a parking space. Two of them has two parking spaces per dwelling. BASEMENT floor

Footbridge and surrounding in
Manchester (England)
The design of this footbridge over the river Iwell is pursuing a twofold aim: to connect both sides (the urban one with the green area that conforms the “Meadows� park), and create a sculpture in the landscape. The solution looked for a visual transition between the nature and the city.
The structure creates a landmark that outlines a new urban skyline, becoming an icon of the city of Manchester. It is designed to optimize materials and achieve the maximum economy. From the road, the mast and cables are partially hidden, creating an original vision that invites to get closer.
On the park side, the terrain topography serves as a landing of the footbridge. A geographical feature is created to function as an auditorium to performing a play or musical work. The sculptural landmark opens the access to the park and the walkway design attracts and invites to visit it and enjoy the area. The sculpture is surrounding by trees which isolate it from the noise. The trees and the mast become part of the background. The color chosen makes the structure contrast with the environment and this feeling is further enhanced by a well-orchestrated lighting concept.
This is a cable-stayed footbridge suspended from an inclined central mast. The steel cables are stretched like the strings of a harp and they run parallel to each other creating a clean solution between the mass of trees. The deck of the footbridge is V-shaped on the side of the park to offer two alternative path; this provides a smooth transition of the flow of pedestrians. The solution covers the whole new area created by the sculpture, both the link between the shores of the river and one of the landing areas.

The competition seeks a building to host offices, workshops and a huge surface of parking (private, public and for service). The location takes place in a very heterogeneous and uninteresting background. In the project, the service area is located in the inner, leaving the outer and homogeneus façade destinated for the administrative use.
A key requirement in the project was the energy balance and energy efficience. The optimization of the thermal, visual and sound comfort, as well as a good ventilation were imprescibles. My business was thinking and developing the façades. My goal was to create a skin to enhance the geometry, to meet the energy requirements and, one of the most important issues, to give unity to a project with such a diverse uses.

Nürnberg (Germany)
The parking block is In the center of the building complex . The workshops are facing to the service area. The administrative area is situated on the upper floors and it is joined the parking by bridges, in order to get short routes. Different depths of the building provide the serpentine shape of the upper floors, generating green terraces.

Auditorium in
Rome (Italy)
The project is destined to musical and cultural park. On the land of this park the building is deposited as a stone in the landscape.
The contrast between inside and outside will cause surprise and admiration in people entering the lobby.
The building is defined by two bodies in order to different areas according to users. The first one is designed to accommodate spaces for the show and the public and the second one for interpreters and employees. Both bodies are materialized in stone, with a rough and overwhelming finish, as it is shown in the elevations. They are deposited with the intention of giving a strong and powerful imagine. This picture contrasts with a warm, bright and peaceful inside. The interior is carried out in concrete and wood.
This surprise is accentuated by the difference in light between access -under the shade of a trayand the overhead light in the hall. The show is provided in a compact and controlled building in which the program is structured to match the movements of the public, performers and employees. This cover is perforated to allow the daylight on the distribution of the lobby’s atrium. But these cracks allow direct light to enter only in winter, not in summer. The auditorium has a vocation to be a smart building about energy efficiency and functional.

Mobile gateway
in Lasize (Italy)
Slip floor glass allows maximum transparency without reducing safety.
The steel frame painted with a very special red wich is inspired by the color of the fine wines produced in the area.
Rest areas have wooden seats. The pavement that marks the rest area will be made in wood. The lighting is designed to form a beam that draws the outline of the bridge’s forms.
The wood of the bridge recalls the crust of the vegetation of the lake’s shores and the glass remembers the water clarity.
The main objective is to improve the access to the area. The aim of the project is integrating the structure into the landscape context, into the environmental and cultural place where it belongs. Avoiding becoming a new center for visual appeal. It was sought a simple and stylized structure that evokes the mast of a sailboat, in order to access the area near the port.

The project consists in the rehabilitation of a shipyard located in Venice. The project itself was of free choice. It was choosen a museum of sculpture because of the site characteristics and privileged position. The space appears divided by a strong brick walls, pre-existence of the shipyards, and they will continue in the new project used as driver of the proposal.
Sculpture museum in Venice (Italy)
The expositions are carried out in the open space because it is intended to exhibit large sculptures. Glass cubes harbor other complementary functions: workshop, restaurant, shop, information point and conferences. Glass cubes set a powerful and emphatic contrast with the brick walls to give added value to the remains. The axes of the project are looking to enhance the alignment of the walls.
