Undertaking various roles and responsibilities across a range of projects
TYPOLOGY : Cabin, Residence
LOCATION : Huerta, Valencia
YEAR:2019 :
Cabin in the huerta, Valencia is an immersive experience of light, movement and shadows for an artist. Its design creates fluidity within architecture through the use of wooden timber posts that allows for continuity of movement. Timber posts are spaced in various ways due to the various programs. Private, Semi-private and Public where the closer the posts the more privacy is insured. This placement thus, additionally creates a spatial relationship between light and shadows, thus giving inpsiration for the artist to draw from feelings and emotions

YEAR:2020 :
NMS kindergarten weaves nature, movement and structure. As children grow and learn the environment is a crucial part thus, the architecture of the kindergarten blends elements to ensure a place for kids to feel free with structure yet with harmony. NMS is located in Porto near heavy infrastructure. Therefore, the proposal imcompasses a rigid exterior barrier for proetction and a flexible interior that encourages diverse free movement and the integration of nature with in.
The plot is located near heavy infrastructure, surrouded by railways, primary roads and utility facilities.
Nature, movement and structure is the principle design for the kindergarten.
My vision of a static barrier enclosing the kindergarten, with freedom and flexibility unfolding within.
The shape interwining two soft, rounded edged classrooms through a courtyard implements the principles and fosters Exploration Creativity Growth
The design of the classrooms is composed of two curved units interconnected with each other through a shared courtyard. This inspires creativity, social interaction and spatial relationships of structured and unstructured learning within the atmosphere floorplan
TYPOLOGY : Mixed programs, Cultural Center
LOCATION : Valencia, Spain
YEAR:2022 :
Between levels responds to the need for a complex program in a site that is situated with varing levels of the turia garden and the city. The proposal aims to connect the garden with the commerical space and an urban plaza staircase that incoraptes the urban environment and connects to the proposed building. The program within the building consists of the commerical space located on the level of the turia garden that connects to the the cultural center, social hub and public terrace accesible on the ground gloor
Forming a central point on the ground floor that reimagines the area as a focal connecting point by relating to the natural and built topography of the surround area
Thus, the central point serves as a “box” that contains the main programs of the building that then opens up to a public square staircase that connects the the turia garden underneath and leads to the adminstration entry botanical garden

TYPOLOGY : Mixed use tower, Infrastructure
LOCATION : Zurich, Switzerland
YEAR:2023
PAU Village is set within a dynamic urban landscape, the project responds to the community’s need for adaptable and inclusive spaces that foster connection and sustainability. Inspired by the concept of an urban oasis, the design creates a fluid and open ground floor, seamlessly integrating green spaces and multi-functional areas for diverse activities. The structure, anchored by a 9x9m grid with flexible secondary divisions, supports adaptability while maintaining spatial coherence. The proposal features a double-skin facade of expandable aluminum mesh and doubleglazed glass, offering natural ventilation, solar protection, and dynamic light control.
The plot is located between two types of intersections,the industrial sector and the natural landscape sector. Therefore, the proposal aims to create a flexible program that responds to the basis of the surroundings that serves as a buffer oasis for the community.

The building envelope features a double-glazed curtain wall with two panels per module, connected by steel fixtures to form double sliding windows. An outer layer of steel mesh screens, mounted on galvanized plates, provides sun protection, micro-shading, and adjustable louvers that regulate light, ventilation, views, and temperature.

TYPOLOGY : Munzanehamo Toilet, Residence
LOCATION : Harare, Zimbabwe
YEAR : 2022
For the Munzanehamo House, I lead the design of the interior of a guest bathroom in the ‘glamour’ style, focusing on dark, luxurious, and bold elements. Collaborating with interior designer Tasy, we developed the design concept and I was responsible for all drawings and the 3D model. The design incorporated the client’s family-owned wood parquets, used in a unique herringbone flooring pattern that extended onto the walls to create a theatrical effect. Key features included a matte black wall-hung toilet, a gold-accented vanity with suspended fixtures, and dark matte tiles to complement the dramatic flooring.

TYPOLOGY : Kindergarten Playgroud, School
LOCATION : London, UK
YEAR : 2024
As the lead for all drawings, modelling, visuals and the overall creation of the tender pack for Kings Cross Academy (KCA) playground, I compelled the comprehensive documentation and designed the interior spaces for the functions of the playground structures in collaboration with my boss. The project reimagined a modest early years playground into distinct spaces, a house for movement, a theatre, a greenhouse, a sandbox, and a climbing house, each purposefully designed to inspire exploration and play. This role showcases my ability to lead, deliver detailed technical work, and contribute to creative, functional designs.
TYPOLOGY : Garden Show, Landscape
LOCATION : Chelsea, UK
YEAR : 2024
This proposal for the 2025 Addleshaw Goddard Garden Show aimed to create a sustainable, oasis-like retreat within the city, inspired by rewilding and reconnecting urban spaces with nature. Featuring rammed earth panels and a diverse array of plants, the design emphasized natural textures and biodiversity. I contributed to the project by producing an excavation plan, drawing detailed sections, elevations and enhancing visuals through Photoshop to communicate the concept effectively.
