Fuerte de Telas

Fuerte de Telas is a pavilion inspired by the fort that a child builds as a shelter. Just as a blanket hung from its ends to a couple of chairs manages to decontextualize a child’s room, the main purpose of this project is to momentarily disconnect the user from their reality through a structure from which hanging translucent fabrics provide a temporary refuge.

Mextropoli Competition, Mexico City (January 2021)

Concept (Blender, Illustrator, Photoshop)

One of the main design premises of the pavilion was to contain without delimiting, which is achieved by sustaining an intricate grid of fabrics that spans the entire space, thus avoiding the use of physical restrictions and allowing a constant and dynamic flow of people. This flexible and permeable structure not only offers a unique spatial experience but also encourages interaction and exploration inside the pavilion, creating an open and welcoming environment for visitors.

Cultural and Educational Center, SEDATUSan Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz (February 2021)

In San Andrés Tuxtla, Veracruz, the project emphasizes natural ventilation and reduces artificial energy, adapting to the warm and humid climate. The rich local artistic and culinary heritage is incorporated into the architectural design.

The Cultural, Recreational, and Educational Center integrates into the environment with local and sustainable materials, fostering creativity and connection with nature. The standout feature is the walls made of “enhuacalado” red brick that contribute to the building’s structure.

In my role, I focused on creating executive plans that ensured coherence between the conceptual design and constructability. From conception to implementation, we integrated innovative solutions respectful of the environment and local cultural identity.

Punta Calipso

Beach Club - Mexico (November 2022)

Layout and Elevation (Autocad)

Punta Calipso Beach Club is located on the shores of the sea, on a semi-virgin beach within the Mexican republic. The site is characterized by cliffs, jungle vegetation typical of the region, and an estuary that almost connects to the sea but stagnates for most of the year. The beach club seeks to be a lightweight and ephemeral structure that does not overshadow the site. The project was conceived as a covered refuge that coexists harmoniously with the strong character of the natural environment. The architectural program of the club includes a social area, a bar, kitchen, bathrooms, changing rooms, and outdoor showers, providing visitors with a comfortable and complete beach experience.

Calipso Suites

Beach Suites - Mexico (January 2023)

Punta Calipso Beach Club is expanding its architecture with suites integrated into the natural environment, elevated above mangroves and connected by sandy paths through the vegetation. Each suite offers a unique experience with private terraces and views of the sea and cliffs. Equipped with modern amenities, they reflect the club’s commitment to environmental preservation and the creation of authentic experiences in harmony with nature.

Elderly Stay - United Arab Emirates (April 2023)

In a city within the United Arab Emirates, an architectural project is emerging that breaks away from the city’s frenetic pace and embraces the serenity of the landscape. This oasis, in contrast to urban density, consists of small scattered structures that seamlessly integrate into their surroundings, creating an environment conducive to promoting longevity and improving quality of life.

The concept behind this center is to provide a refuge where visitors can disconnect from the daily hustle and bustle and reconnect with both nature and themselves.

Architectural Visualization of Social Area (Illustrator, Autocad)

Sierra Dorada

With a land area of 2091.30 square meters, this architectural project stands with a facade of 35.45 meters facing the road and one side of 57.60 meters facing a private street. Inspired by the street life of iconic places such as Italian squares, the alleys of Rome, commerce on the stairs of Athens, and the panoramic views of Santorini, this shopping center seeks to revitalize the urban fabric. Its design, influenced by the prevailing winds, creates intersecting paths to give rise to meeting and gathering squares.

Shopping Center, Cabo San Lucas (April 2023)

The longitudinal architectural section reveals how the terrain’s slopes are utilized to create a dynamic and varied environment. Stairs and ramps connect these spaces, generating a unique urban experience where the interaction between landscape and architecture merges to offer opportunities for gathering and commerce in every corner of the shopping center.

Flow

A vertical circulation module connects the basement, intended for parking, with the ground floor and the upper floor, facilitating user mobility. Three types of flows are distinguished: pedestrian flow, which meanders between commercial areas and gathering squares; flow of people with wheelchairs, with ramps and adapted access to ensure their inclusion; and car flow, which follows well-defined routes to the underground parking.

Juan de la Barrera

The design of this house is inspired by the terracotta natural-toned walls. These walls provide a cozy and visual depth to the space.

Axonometric View of Level 1 (SketchUp, Vray, Pothoshop)

Regarding the facades of the lighting courtyard, an interesting contrast has been created. One of them follows a uniform modulation per level, creating a sense of order and symmetry. On the other hand, the other facade breaks with this interpretation by level and reads as a whole facade, adding dynamism and diversity to the design. This approach creates an intriguing visual interplay between the two facades, adding an element of surprise and originality to the architectural project.
