Private Hospital

St MaryÂ´s Hospital

As part of the Paddington area redevelopment, and as consultants for the Paddington Cube office layout, a new private hospital is proposed for the zone. The idea is to integrate both projects to give the feeling of a unit. We achieve this by keeping similar heights in the typical floor layout and lobby areas. Furthermore, the hospital building is set back from Praed street and connected to a smaller building that will potentially be part of the hospital as well.

The main feature of the building will be a winter garden, providing a year round stimulating and attractive outlook from the bedrooms along the elevation facing The Cube.

Due to the fact that The Cube will be built in stages, altering the roads and circulation streets around it during its construction, the hospital will be built using the same scheme.

WINTER GARDEN

2016

Edinburgh House occupies the site of a Victorian terrace that was destroyed during WWII and comprises a five storey plus basement building. The building is currently occupied by the Metropolitan Police who in order to meet future operational needs are relocating elsewhere. The aim is to turn what is currently a closed single occupier building into an open and welcoming multi-tenanted business centre for small and medium sized enterprises. The proposal is to internalize a central vehicle servicing yard that is surrounded by a series of linear wings of accommodation, thus creating a hub for the building by constructing an attractive three storey Winter Garden, a facility that will provide an all weather alternative to the workplace environment.

VIEW FROM PRAYERS PARK

The intention of this project is to renovate the existing property and to create new buildings for residential and commercial use, thus contributing to the streetscape of Folkestone Old Town Conservation area and bringing a socioeconomic benefit. Furthermore, the proposal seeks to serve as a pedestrian link between Payers Park, The Old High Street and Tontine Street. In past times, the site contained open yards and permeable areas into the urban landscape. This scheme was used as inspiration for the proposed layout. Similarly, the materials and architectural geometry is referenced from the context and old town history. Due to the fact that the complex faces two streets, each one with different conditions, the approach to the design was different to each one of them. Tontine Street is mainly composed of rendered four-storey buildings; hence it is proposed that the scale and materiality of this street is retained. To the rear of the site, it is proposed that the two-storey scale remains by creating pitched roofs with timber cladding. In addition to this, the possibility of integrating an art work that may be part of the 2017 Folkestone Triennal was explored.

2015

A series of experiments researched how boundaries are defined or blurred and this work lead to the creation of an interactive courtyard.

Transformative Boundaries

THESIS

The site is a neglected enclosure surrounded by office buildings and this has been transformed into an engaging and celebratory space through the deployment of new kinetic structural elements. Roof and floor structures are based on Voronoi cells, creating clusters for social interaction. The floor is a system that consists of pieces that rise from a uniform level to create landscapes that can be configured into a series of arrangements allowing a number of different scenarios for different uses throughout the weekends and seasons. The rain triggers the opening of colourful, inflatable structures that provide each cluster with shelter allowing people to enjoy the exterior space in inclement weather. A barrier of vertical water jets enables the space to be closed for privacy, or open to allow public access.

SITE

BEFORE RAIN

AFTER RAIN

The kinetic nature of the structure means that the courtyard is in a state of continuous change, creating a space that is stimulated by natural elements and is neither inside nor outside.

PERFORMANCE

As part of the Crossrail project to connect London and its surroundings, Tottenham Court Road station is going to be fully remodeled. Underground stations are usually busy places, where people are rushing and struggling to find their way. The intention of the project is to create a way finding through color. By assigning a color to the “right way” to go, the users can easily follow the path and make their way to the platform. Blue color means pedestrians are going with the flow. Red means they are going against the flow, therefore “the wrong way”. Regardless if the user is outside at ground level trying to get to the platform, or vice versa, blue is always the color the traveler should follow. Due to the fact that the flow of the people varies throughout the day, and so does the direction of the stairs, rotating pieces were created in order to shift alongside the flow of people.

DETAIL

2014 As part of the Architecture Festival 2014 a number of architects, designers and students collaborated in order to bring new ideas to the infamous Balfron Tower in Poplar.

London Festival of Architecture

EDIBLE

The vision of our team was to revitalize a derelict apartment of the brutalist complex by creating an immersive fairy-tale like experience based only on edible materials. Each room gave life to a different responsive installation, like a small-scale Willy Wonka magic factory. Visitors were encouraged to interact with the edible materials like Hansel and Gretel, to eat the cookies on the wall, grab a handful of popcorn and even take treats with them for the journey back.

INTERACTIVE MOMENTS

SITE

The aim of this project is to develop a redundant workshop, intervening an existing building at 63-65 Dove Row, in Hackney, home to people from different backgrounds, many of whom are independent workers in mid-career. Since many of these young entrepreneurs are kicking off their careers, they cannot afford to pay for an office. The idea is to create a printmaking workshop where artists can not only work but also display what they produce.

The building is split in two parts: a making area and a selling area. The making area is divided into three mezzanines, each one containing different parts of the printmaking process. Conversely, the selling area is a void Solvent and contained in a triple Acid Rooms height, where all the prints are displayed after the etching process.

2013

DESIGN PROCESS

The brief of this project requires a contemporary and alluring reception for a children dental clinic, capable to exhibit different kinds of dental products to sell. Taking the clientÂ´s request, and due to the lack of space and height of the area, a big shelf in a waffle shape was created, storing the products and giving different deepness and movement, thus creating movement to break the monotony and hiding the content from aside view such as light and products. The starting surface comes by lofting a series of sections that were designed based on spatial needs and mobility of the reception area. The construction is achieved by subtracting the pieces for the digital fabrication and self-assembly technique. Furthermore, a clean front desk is designed with a surface that works as a lamp to contrast the clinic logo. Since the reception area would be intervened, there was a need to restore the whole clinic, which would take place in two stages. The dental office and the waiting area were the first, leaving the front desk for a second stage.

Interior proposal to develop the PUMA boutique located in Polanco district, one of the most wealthy areas in Mexico City. Taking advantage of the height of the space, the idea aims to contrast by having a series of elements suspended from the ceiling such as racks that will exhibit the shoes collection for men and women. Furthermore, the furniture was designed to be short and clean in order not to compete with the hanging elements and to be the leading elements to discover the store. At the rear, a mezzanine gives the opportunity to place the front desk on the ground and fitting rooms at the top.

Interior design, architectural distribution, furniture design, decoration and landscape for a private family house in the prestigious residential area of Pedregal in Mexico City. The area of the land is 874 m2, and the house is 517 m2.

BEDROOM 1

The idea was to generate an identity for each room and each user of the house by choosing a color palette, thus giving character to the furniture that will make the space. Furniture such as beds, shelves, chairs, dining tables and sofas were designed to give life and use to each unit.

The house interior was modified in distribution and look by creating new spaces and opening others towards the terrace and back yard. The proposal also included landscape design composed by water mirrors, fountains and gardening selection design.

This commercial development is located on a slope of the MonterreyÂ´s mountain range, in the north Mexico. The development was designed in such way that the views of the mountains were highlighted and to create easy access from the adjacent street. The market place that the complex allocates acts as an anchor store much needed in the area. It also comprises restaurant areas, as well as retail spaces for independent shops. Furthermore, indoor and outdoor parking spaces are provided within the compound.

Shopping centre

GENTOR

Due to the warm weather of the region, the commercial premises are intended to be in an open-space scheme that together with the location of the buildings, allows customers to enjoy a stroll on a shaded path with the natural wind of the area. Finally, local plants were included, as part of the landscaping project and as a bioclimatic strategy.

SECTION

A casual restaurant largely focused on home deliveries, located in a tight space and sited on a corner, was remodeled and equipped with a new interior design. A suspended canopy formed by planked wooden panels that hold light tubes is placed on a number of different levels to create a 3D character that presides throughout the space. This and a grey slate are the spaceÂ´s signature elements. The dinning room was decorated with light-tanned wooden tables and grey chairs. At the rear along the service bar, a window reveals a white wall and the kitchen entrance; above a black board announces the dayÂ´s menu. As the site is located at the corner of a square, a large window opens to integrate the interior and the street terrace.

The project site is located in between two districts of Mexico City, aiming to link them by a social and public development, housing a program needed by the city and the contemporary society.

SITE

La MĂŠdiathĂ¨que comes as a gathering point where users from different ages and social status meet with music, books, visual arts and exhibitions, all expressed in a digital scope. The building volume is sliced by urban axis, dividing -the construction both into different volumes and in terms of the program, linking the components by a series of bridges. Due to this, the building achieves a total porosity for the users and pedestrians, thus fitting the urban grid.

Thesis work

The volumes are elevated from the ground floor, generating a series of patios in a interior plaza. In the same criteria, the facades that face the exterior of the complex have a different treatment than the inner ones, as they need heat protection from the sun exposure, which reduces the energy expended to the cool spaces.

The Itaú Bank was designed by the renown Brazilian architect Rino Levi in the Paulista Avenue in Sao Paulo, Brazil in the 60´s. The diferencia challenge of the project lies in the idea to re-program Levi´s modernist building and create a new block in front of it with a new 6750m2 usage and aesthetic relationship. A dancing school was the starting point for the development of the concept that will rule the complex intention and look. The idea lies on creating a public plaza above the ground that links the two buildings and creating intimate spatial qualities inside a hectic urban life, where the relationship between the pedestrians and vehicles is friendly and isolated. área de intervención

Jewelry piece designed based on the alphabet letter N. The motif was made by combining graphemes to form a three dimensional symbol, thus creating a piece that has a singular appearance from different angles. A series of tests were made in a 3D modeling software, and after a final shape was designed, the model was sent to a company in the United States to be printed and dipped in gold. This piece was a test, and the first to be created for an alphabet collection that will be coming soon.

The Bowl & Vase collection was inspired by the idea of displaying flowers in an unexpected way, combined by the organic and fluid lines that can be found in nature. Flowers are usually kept in containers where its configuration leads to a vertical arrangement. By breaking this idea, and displaying flowers horizontally, a shallow bowl was created. In this way, flowers are presented as a bouquet. The collection offers a range of materials and shapes that exhibit the flowers in a varied and distinctive ways.
