Blockhouse [Academic collaboration project | 3rd semester] 2008
Within the framework of the Congress of Interior Space Experts Semana 39, students are encouraged to participate in a series of projects all with one objective: to work on an specific hypothesis in a 3-day full-time workshop. Seminar concept: minimal space living Expert consultant: Dutch firm i29
NOTE: Blockhouse was a group project with a student from every semester, where production was divided depending on the skills developed to the moment, I particularly participated in the concept development and final drawings. All material shown in this specific document was produced by me.
Blockhouse had the purpose of creating a family “living module�, a basic experiment based on the notion that humans have certain basic needs in their living space, which can be confortably arranged through an minimal proportion scheme. Top: Isometric showing movement and definition of living units
03
Spatial concept: Under the premise of working within a limited area, the total block of the “box� was divided periferically, giving each elevation a particular, very precise use. To achieve this, the team studied the minimal proportions needed for every specific activity (bathing, sleeping, cooking...) and designed towards three general objectives: simplicity of forms and materials, flexibility of uses and modularity. Top: Block working model used for unit experimentation

Center for Musical Studies [Academic ind. project | 5th semester] 2009 Sometimes, man is small and his music (his space) is monumental.
As part of the analysis and research on interventions to existing public spaces, the fifth semester architecture workshop had as an objective the remodeling of our existing faculty building and its transformation into a different type of school: a center for musical studies.
Music is not only sound, it contains rythm, armony, cadence... This project had as a principal goal to represent music as a corporeal element: the only way of understanding it is through the silence that surrounds it, the void. Top: concept sketch representing and analyzing the rythm of volumes and slopes throughout the building
06
As can be seen in the shown perspectives, a great part of the spatial concept was the manifestation of the history of the existing building through its exposed structure. Alongside with this characteristic, the resulting negative spaces were transformed into green sloped terraces, with the objective of topping each module with a relaxation area, and bringing color to an otherwise whitewashed space. Top: Final sketches of the piano rehearsing classroom, its scale and natural light proposal Bottom: Hand-drawn study of facade and entrance

Corporate project: design for the headquarters of a private office devoted to the paper and printing bussiness. The paper is, in itself, the general concept of space and the inspiration through the proportions of its basic formats, textures and malleability of the material.
As one can see from the exploded isometric at the top of this page, this characteristics developed into a set of organic forms surrounding each zone, and generating a natural division between operating areas of the office.
Project supervisor: Arch. RaĂşl Gilabert Supervisor email adress: rgilabert@centro.org.mx

The skin of overlaped industrial textures not only acts as an envelope, but unfolds to create walls, handrails and stairs. Inspired by the proportions used in paper formats (A1, A2, A3, A4...) the division of spaces was determined making an open transition from the reception to private offices, meeting rooms and central creative area. With very few fixed walls, the space can be organized at will, reconfiguring it depending on the personnel’s requirements.
In a space of very simple lines and few materials, a set of partition screens were designed to define a limited number of private spaces. Other movable pieces, such as working isles and tables were also detailed.

Open work stations and meeting rooms can be reconfigured under the wooden “canopy�, distribution depending on position of panels and furniture, while executive level can be found in a fixed layer of the office.

Thesis project: Interior architecture intervention of the Latin American Tower, in downtown Mexico City, with the main objective of studying the concept of mixed typologies. As one of the most iconic buildings of the country, I find it essencial for the tower to stay current, adjusting its interior intentions to cover the needs of the present mexican society. Nowadays, the building is deteriorated and out of use (with a vacancy of over 35%), and the activities around it have developed from being the center of bussiness in the 1950s, to being a mere touristic icon, which leaves the tower feeling static in a rather moving city.
After a thorough study of the current use of areas, a proposal for a new architectural program was presented. As one can see from the isometric at the top of this page, volumes take over or yield into the interior depending on the asigned typology.

As working in the complete program would make for an undetailed project, two specific floor plans where chosen to be fully developed as private appartment and hotel room. They represent the type of interaction and volumetry wanted through out the project, as well as the typologies relation with the facades.

A mixed used program understood as one space; light, flexible divisions with a touch of uncontrolable. In the final floor plans, typologies communicate in subtle ways, letting the inhabitant perceive lights, shadows and architectural elements moving in the adjacent spaces.

Eucaliptos 151 [Professional project | Bernardi & Peschard] 2015
Project objective: Private house remodeling Eucaliptos 151, was one of the first pieces designed and built by the famous mexican architect Ricardo Legorreta, and the biggest challenge was to preserve its esence and history, while making it suitable for today’s way of living. My specific role in the process, was to participate during the conceptual, architectural and interior design, complete executive plan development, and site supervision. All photographies were taken during the construction process or the final delivered design
19
Photographies taken before the project development. With original finishes and carpentry, the house felt unkept and damaged. It was important to respect some of the original elements that made the house and icon of mexican twentieth century: great heights (a luxury in contemporary architecture), natural light sources and large windows, and a pool/garden area. June, 2013

For the clients’ complete understanding, several drawings and model were presented. As will be seen in the photographs to follow, the final material palette includes walnut, ebony and high gloss lacquer for carpentry, basaltine and limestone where stone was considered, and painted steel for structural details. The intention was to maintain a limited set of materials, to center the attetion in the space configuration. Top: Perspective showing final room heights, light box and window to facade.
