Kvartier Design

Terra Brasilis is an expansive development in Aquiraz, Ceará, on Brazil’s northeastern coast. The project spans two distinct areas: one featuring a condominium of villas and the other with low-rise buildings housing 500 residential units, complemented by commercial spaces and amenities. A central plaza seamlessly connects these areas, while a Natural Park extends through the development, culminating in a lagoon that serves as a prime spot for leisure and dining. Terra Brasilis offers a vibrant, nature-immersed living experience with a human-scale design, situated close to services and recreational opportunities in a unique location.

VIKING SHIP MUSEUM

Internship project / 2023

Competition proposal

C.F. Møller Architects and Snøhetta

During my internship at C.F. Møller, I was part of the team developing a competition proposal for the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde-DK. Focused on preserving the five thousand-year-old Viking ships threatened by environmental factors, the project involved restoring and transforming the existing museum hall and introducing two new structures: The Shrine, a sustainable and climate-resilient building for showcasing the Viking ships, and the Gate, serving as the museum’s entrance.

Notably, the landscape element not only restores the native biotope but also addressed environmental challenges, including rising water levels. The design fostered a forward-thinking open-air museum, seamlessly connecting the museum with its surroundings.

MASTERPLAN

The museum’s layout, featuring four distinct destinations (The Shrine, The Gate, The Hall, and the outdoor Museum Island), unfolded as chapters in a single narrative. This arrangement provided a dynamic and educational journey for visitors, highlighting the interplay between the landscape, museum artifacts, sailing ships, fjord, and city. The result was a cohesive and immersive experience in a future-proof project.

Ships meditation

The Skuldelev ships, pulled ashore near a window in the Museum Harbor, form a captivating scene. Resembling weathered sculptures, they showcase ancient boat craftsmanship and conservation. The space exudes a meditative atmosphere, inviting visitors to explore the ships’ raw materiality and elegant forms. Accessible via a ramp for varied perspectives, the area features touch screens detailing boat specifics, emphasizing craftsmanship and stories. The Shrine serves as a focal point, conveying the ships as an archaeological discovery, and for Museum Island’s boat builders, it functions as an inspiring study collection.

FULDA HÖFE KERBER AREAL

Internship Project / 2022

Competition proposal

C.F. Møller Architects

The proposal envisions the revitalization of the Kerber area, a key block in Fulda, Germany, with a focus on re-establishing its connection to the city and reclaiming its scale and distinctive identity. Rooted in the principles of adaptability and community engagement, we strategically preserved elements of the existing structure while introducing innovative new additions. This thoughtful approach humanizes the building’s volumes, seamlessly integrating green urban spaces to harmonize with nature.

The transformed building transcends its previous monocultural activities, evolving into a versatile space that serves as a vibrant community hub. This dynamic environment encourages synergies among diverse users, accommodating a hotel, offices, residences, educational facilities, retail spaces, and a medical center. Our vision is to infuse vitality into the Kerber area, fostering lively communities and responding adeptly to the evolving needs of the city.

SUSTAINABILITY

OSLO HORISONT

Internship Project / 2022

Multipurpose building

C.F. Møller Architects

Oslo Horisont is a transformative project in the heart of Oslo, Norway, covering 82,000 m² and emphasizing adaptive re-use. The project involves two high-rise buildings and a raised public green landscape, utilizing a former post office terminal as a gateway to Oslo Central Station’s train platforms. The innovative design transforms the terminal into a multi-tenant commercial office hub, a hotel and conference center, a sales hall, café, and bicycle parking area. The reuse strategy retains and recycles 30,000 m² of concrete, making Oslo Horisont a groundbreaking example of circularity.

During my internship at C.F. Møller Architects, I played a significant role working on the developmentof the the rooftop concept, main atrium of the building, and public areas of the building, as well as its connection with the city’s life.

Phase

Development study after the winning competition.

Role

3D development, 3D visualizations, development of plans and sections, diagrams, layout of booklet.

ROOFTOP FOREST

The main highlight of the project is the green rooftop landscapes focused on recreation and life. The old post office terminal’s rooftop is transformed into a public green space, reclaiming the urban area for the community.

ATRIUM STAIRCASE

A central atrium located between the two towering structures serves as the heart of the complex, seamlessly connecting various activities of the building. Enhancing this connection is a sculptural spiral staircase that gracefully winds its way up to the fifth-floor open atrium. Beyond its visual unification of space, this staircase offers a tangible sense of continuity, encouraging exploration in three dimensions. Its upward trajectory towards the roof not only invites natural light and greenery in, but also amplifies the sense of vertical movement and connection with the surrounding environment.

OSLO CENTRAL STATION

The old post office terminal will become airy and transparent, ensuring that the urban pulse and movement of the city is invited in and made visible. In the middle of the transparent base, a direct connection to escalators and elevators is established, leading the area and the building’s commuters to the platforms at Oslo Central Station. A new urban floor is created with entrances and connections that also link the building to Akerselva, Nylandsbrua and Schweigaards Gate. The urban floor activates and connects the surrounding environment by incorporating outdoor spaces where there is human life.

REINVENTING TORRE SPACCATA

Academic Project / 2020

Resilient restoration

MSc. Architecture for Sustainable Design

Reinventing Torre Spaccata is a significant project focused on urban and architectural regeneration within Rome’s social housing district in Italy. The project was developed as within the famework of the international competition “C40-Reinventing Cities,” with the primary goal of revitalizing neglected sites and showcasing exemplary sustainable design solutions.

The core of the project is the rehabilitation of the former market building, originally designed by Studio Passarelli in 1960. Through innovative environmental building principles, we envisioned transforming this space into a hub of cultural and social services, ensuring human comfort and well-being.

One of the key challenges addressed by the project is the delicate balance between integrating modern amenities while safeguarding the district’s cultural heritage and social identity. A comprehensive approach that merges cutting-edge sustainable design with a profound understanding of the community’s needs is at the core of Reinventing Torre Spaccata. The ultimate aim is to reinvigorate the area and set an example of sustainable urban development.
