I am a Portuguese architect, with 7+ years of experience, who decided to move to the Netherlands after a positive stay in Barcelona. I bring ideas to the table, but can also listen and translate a concept given to me into a plan. Having worked on different public and private projects, I specialized mostly in drafting, but have also used my skills for modelling and to create visuals and diagrams for competitions or meetings. I have a special passion for details. I am a team player and a reliable colleague; flexible solving problems and learning new work tools; mathematically strong, detail oriented and have digital discipline. I can express myself in different languages and am working hard to add Dutch to that list. In my free time, I love playing board games and the guitar/ukulele and am interested in photography and sports. At my previous office, I grew from an intern to a mid-level architect. That experience was positive because I felt challenged by my work and valued by my team. Now, in this new phase, I am hoping to join here in the Netherlands a workplace that is similarly welcoming and where I can put my experience into practice develop further. Recently I finished a small internship at Het Hof van Cartesius, and am now looking for a new opportunity to show my best.

Personal involvement: In this project, I was from the beginning part of the team responsible for its development (at different moments we were two, others three). This included: initial concept, development, building permit and construction documents. I was responsible to work on graphic components, such as: general plans, doors and windows, and details. Besides these, I was also responsible to create the commercial plans later asked by the client. This was the second similar project for the same client. The previous one involved three separate buildings and, in one of them, we had to implement and already built layout structure. On this first project, I worked over the same phases, plus construction corrections.

Gross floor area: 41.000m2 (approx.) Personal involvement: This is my university final project, worked along side a practical-theoretical paper about the urban impact projects create. The project had two components: urban and architectural. At the urban level, I did an analysis over the existent buildings with a consequent urban detail plan and full concept development for the complex. At the architectural level, I worked on the initial concept / lay-out for all buildings, focusing later on the development of one of them. All the graphic and physical material for this project are fully of my own authorship.
