G LAS S H O US E S E LF- S UFFI CI E NT H O US E This house features two glass roofs with different inclinations both to collect direct solar radiation and to receive diffused solar radiation. The top roof, made of photovoltaic panels, can generate enough energy to sustain the house. The facade-roof is made of electrochromic glass, with a lower slope, covering horticultural greenhouses for resident´s own consumption. The rest of the facades are made of OSB panels of wood, with a low concentration of energy, that minimizes the emissions of co2. The house is endowed with underfloor heating in the interior, allowing a homogeneous distribution of temperature and has a grey water reutilisation system for irrigation and maintenance.

UNC E RTAI NTY CO MPO UND MYS TE RY AND MYS TI C I S M “Where lies the key to this mystery? Ultimately it is the magic of the shadows to be banished from its corners, the alcove would in that instant revert to mere void. This was the genious of our ancestors, that by cutting off the light from this empty space they imparted to the world of shadows that formed there a quality of mystery and depth superior to that of any wall painting or ornament.� (In Praise of Shadows; Junichiro Tanizaki.)
S E RE ND I PI TY I N TH E PI NE W O O D CULTURAL CE NTRE Concepts such as collectivity, community, and appropriation of the territory arose during the planning of this project: a cultural centre that is intentionally integrated into the territory, and whose aesthetics and materiality invite the user to interact with the surrounding environment. Minimal environmental impact is sought by inserting a square piece whose wooden facades dialogue with the environment. This Project’s Architecture explores shared spaces and human relations. It's objective is the shared enjoyment of the environment that surrounds the collective. It is an architecture focused on the environments which distribute and combine three of the fundamentals: the natural, the cultural and the educational. The structure is conceived according to the desired functional characteristics: a continuous and sequential development of rooms around an interior designed with pine wood and a facade that acts as a border for the surroundings. This new pine forest that is created in the interior is ambivalent. This Cultural Centre reflects both the desire for a group experience, which alludes to the impossibility of reproducing these qualities in our atomized and culturally diverse society; and an informal appropriation of the land.

APPLE PAV I LI O N c era m i c + frex otra c ti on From a distance we see how its rounded shape emerges from the great grove that surrounds it. The pavilion is designed through the concept of skin - skeleton duality: From outside, the visitor contemplates a large volume of smooth and continuous surface, like the skin of an apple, while inside, you can appreciate the bare skeleton of the structure, a metallic frame composed of ribs braced by rings. Inside, there hangs a steel vessel shaped like half an egg, which always contains water, forcing the structure to work flexibly. The envelope is drilled strategically to allow the passage of light. This sequence of holes, emulating the pores of the skin of an apple, gives the interior a pleasant overhead light.

The construction system of the pavilion is designed by dividing it into "segments", using a ceramic coating. The system is articulated through the appropriate guarantees in the supports of the metallic structure. With this system an adjoining ceramic skin is achieved and a watertight place is generated in front of the water.

UPPE R S Q UARE V I E W PLAZA DEL CARMEN / MADRID An urban intervention proposal whose main objective is to revitalise degraded public space. The square was a residual space used only as a crossroad area because of the underground car park. To revitalise the area two platforms are installed covering the access to the car park, which boost the use of the public space. With this simple intervention it becomes one of the most attractive squares in the city.
REACTIVATION OF GUADALMEDINA RIVER MALAGA
The relationships between rivers and cities are stories of love and hate, of desires and rejections that sink into the deep roots of our historical past. The rivers do not run through the cities, but the cities themselves invade the rivers. The city of Mรกlaga is disjointed and to make it more compact, it needs a spine with an urban continuity. What is proposed is to add a vault over parts of the river Guadalmedina, consisting of the creation of an avenue of squares, with the purpose of uniting the two banks of the river for its use as a space for citizen coexistence and green areas. The aim is to sew this scar that would also solve the problem of north-south and east-west mobility. The creation of alternating pedestrian zones with bike lanes, several traffic lanes and areas for public use is proposed, as well as for the installation of terraces, flower stalls or street markets. Of course, it does not deny the river, which identifies the city of Malaga, so some areas of it are restored for better environmental quality and enhanced enjoyment of it.
O S D AK H YPE RMO NAS TE RY I N S E O UL / KO RE A The OSDAK (hOlistic Spiritual Device of Advanced Knowledge) stands powerfully among the low constructions of the area, in such a way that it centres and gives iconic weight to the city. The monastery houses an extensive program that includes academic endowments, laboratories, residences, restaurants ... placing the chapel in the most significant part of the tower, the highest floor. The facade consists of a "structural skin", lightened and stable. The facility is contained in a series of suspended enclosures generating an attractive feeling of weightlessness. These are sewn to the structural facade by a network of articulated bars. Both aesthetically and structurally, the tower maintains the same language of geometries, used in floors, facades and the order of the plot. It is a monumental symbolic milestone loaded with mysticism, which acts as a cultural and spiritual reference.

The project is conceived as a landmark of the place, as a claim for mystical contact, a spiritual device for the investigation of knowledge... The design was born from the experimentation with the solar, in which a series of marbles is "dropped", "bathed" in paint with a series of conditions to which a parameter is implicitly linked. The whole process is born from the results of this experimentation. It is not an analogy of form, but an interpretation of the experiment.

LIGHT HOUSE A MODERN 3 FLOOR HOUSE The urban fabric of the area is characterized by single-family homes of 2-3 floors, as the local policy required, so it was decided to maintain this dynamic. The project consists of a house between medians that has an exterior facade, and an interior one which differentiates it from the rest of the houses near the property. Through a set of spaces, with generously sized windows, the house manages to open to the exterior and collect light through its facade, without compromising the inhabitants privacy. The rooms are arranged around a double height space situated in the center of the house. This space corresponds to the living-dining room, which enables it to extend to the patio through a large window. This is how the inner courtyard becomes the main feature of the house. The patio is designed in order to enjoy it all year round, with the pool, the outdoor barbecue and the exterior living room with the fireplace.

S E AMO UN TAS CA An ol d hous i ng s ty l e res ta ura nt The site is located in the town of Cรณmpeta, Malaga. The project consists in the reconversion and restructuring of an old house into a restaurant. It presented many difficulties in design as it presented a chaotic geometry, easements with neighboring buildings, and restrictive local planning regulations. The project takes advantage of the existing structure, conserving most of the slabs and the structural pillars. However, the main damaged faรงade is replced. The project consists of 3 floors, 2 mezzanines and a terrace. A curved faรงade, with large spaces that capture as much light as possible is the chosen external design. The semi-basement floor, which is the lowest level, locates the kitchen and staff area. The restaurant with the dinning area continues in the three consecutive levels, with an outdoor and "chill out" terrace on the top floor. The main feature of this level is the spectacular view of the seaside and the mountains.

It´s main feature is a porch that connects the restaurant with a large garden used as an extension of the restaurant. Another original feature is the construction of a lobby that articulates the original structure with the new area. The site has two distinct areas: The west wing where wedding rooms are located; and the the east wing, which houses guest rooms. The project extends the old guest rooms and builds a recreation area with a swimming pool.
