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

SITE

thesis project

TRANSFORMATIVE

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. 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

The project seeks to intervene the apartment spaces at Balfron Tower, using GoldfingerÂ´s design ethics and principles regarding the future of development.

Balfron tower flat intervention

PUSH

On this basis, the intervention pretends to adapt to new lifestyles, where nothing is static and is always shifting. By placing a series of walls over steel runners, the space is not only divided but also adaptable to the dweller necessities, providing a flexible space aimed to single people or young couples.

The apartment is divided into three different spaces by three thick walls, serving both as storage and dividing means. Two of these walls are placed into runners, allowing the user to customize the space by pushing or pulling them to change the size of the rooms or even make one room disappear.

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.

DENTAL

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.

Interior design in Mexico City

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.

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 Cebada Plaza in Madrid was one of the main public spaces that linked neighborhoods since the XV Century. It used to allocate a market of cereals, vegetables and many other products, being one of the main economic points of the city. The project aims to restore active the life and usage that the plaza had in the past by creating a new space capable not only principales to generate what the market was butcirculaciones also to adapt the needs and conditions that the adjacent context demands. circulaciones principales

As the plaza is located nowadays in an area of continuous flow of people due to the amount of existing services, the proposal seeks to be as porous as possible, integrating inner spaces with the exterior. The mass of the building also looks for an urban integration, being composed by a series of irregular surfaces of different heights and inclinations that intersect among them, referring to the “broken plate” urban grid presented at the area.
