DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
A space must connect with the user, as a designer we are the intermediary that can develop that connection. I believe that we must design a sensory and emotional experience between the user and the space through physical and intangible elements to develop a link between the user and the space.

VS HOUSE
Guayaquil, Ecuador.
The VS residence was built in 2008. The remodel focused on modernizing the house, starting with opening up the common spaces, such as the living room, TV room and dining room. A floor-to-ceiling sliding door was implemented in the kitchen to incorporate it into the other spaces when necessary. All spaces are visually connected to the exterior through large windows.
On the second floor bedrooms were expanded to add a large walk-in closet.

HACIENDA KOKOA

The intention of this remodeling was to change the use of the residential space to a commercial space. Located in a purely natural context, away from the city, it was distributed by areas, in order to sectorize the user depending on their plans in the facilities.

Local materials from the site, such as cana, were kept present in the interior design, in order to maintain the construction system of the area and encourage local labor. A color palette of earth tones was chosen, accompanied by custom wood furniture. These tones and materials help to give warmth to the environment and blend perfectly with its natural surroundings.
Los materiales locales del sitio, como la cana, se mantuvieron presentes en el diseno interior, para mantener el sistema contructivo de la zona y fomentar la mano de obra local. Se escogio una paleta de colores de tonos tierra, acompañada de muebles personalizados de madera. Estos tonos y materiales ayudan a dar calidez al ambiente y combinan perfectamente con su entorno natural.
Atelier Cindy Castro NY
New York, USA.
The remodeling of this atelier focused on distribution and organization. The main counter, the cutting & sewing area, and the dressing room were the areas chosen to improve the quality of work in the space. The design intention was to represent the essence of the brand in the space, using white and green, as they are the corporate colors.
The storage area is elevated and covered to keep the space organized and clean.

SAM KITCHEN
TEXAS, USA.
The design of this kitchen was based on keeping it simple by using only three materials that complement each other.
The warmth of the tones allows this area of the house to feel familiar and cozy.
The white tone, wood and stone allow for a modern, contemporary look, in addition to bringing lightness to the space. Being an open kitchen allows us to place an island that connects this space with the common areas such as the dining room and living room. Generating a spacious and visually connected space.

La calidez de los tonos permite que esta zona de la casa resulte familiar y acogedora.
El tono blanco, la madera y la piedra permiten un aspecto moderno y contemporáneo, además de aportar ligereza al espacio. Al ser una cocina abierta nos permite colocar una isla que conecta este espacio con las zonas comunes como el comedor y el salón. Generando un espacio amplio y visualmente conectado.
LUKA’S RESTAURANT
New Jersey, USA.
Lukas Restaurant was born from the need to create a cozy and modern space that reflects the richness of Ecuadorian culture. After analyzing the most emblematic places in Ecuador, the vision was clear: to design an environment that captures the essence of the country using materials and colors that evoke our colonial cities. Inspired by cities like Cuenca and Quito, we decided to bring characteristic elements from the exterior to the interior of the restaurant. To achieve this, we incorporated materials such as brick and tile, which not only evoke traditional architecture, but also bring warmth and authenticity to the space. One of the main features is a brick map of Ecuador, which adds a touch of delicacy and elegance to the décor, highlighting the connection with our roots.

Tras analizar los lugares más emblemáticos de Ecuador, la visión quedó clara: diseñar un ambiente que capture la esencia del país utilizando materiales y colores que evocan nuestras ciudades coloniales. Inspirados en ciudades como Cuenca y Quito, decidimos traer elementos característicos del exterior al interior del restaurante.

Para lograrlo, incorporamos materiales como el ladrillo y la teja, que no solo evocan la arquitectura tradicional, sino que también aportan calidez y autenticidad al espacio. Una de las principales características es un mapa de Ecuador formado con ladrillos, que añade un toque de delicadeza y elegancia a la decoración, resaltando la conexión con nuestras raíces.
Para tradicional, es resaltando
In addition, we used traditional vessels and hand-painted Ecuadorian hats, each representing different regions of the country. These carefully selected pieces bring an artistic touch that connects to diverse cultures within Ecuador. We also added images that clearly depict the country's iconic landscapes and places, which contributes to a welcoming atmosphere. All of this allowed us to build a space that makes visitors feel as if they are in Ecuador, bringing to life the slogan: “A little piece of Ecuador in Hackensack”.
Además, usamos vasijas tradicionales y sombreros ecuatorianos pintados a mano, cada uno representando distintas regiones del país. Estas piezas, cuidadosamente seleccionadas, aportan un toque artístico que conecta con diversas culturas dentro de Ecuador. También añadimos imágenes que muestran claramente los paisajes y lugares icónicos del país, lo cual contribuye a crear un ambiente acogedor. Todo esto nos permitió construir un espacio que hace sentir a los visitantes como si estuvieran en Ecuador, dándole vida al lema: “Un pedacito de Ecuador en Hackensack”.
Department ML
NEW JERSEY, USA
The remodeling of this apartment focused on improving the layout. Currently the apartment does not have a dining room, nor a complete living room. It was decided to create an uninterrupted linear circulation. The sofa and its coffee table allow us to create a spacious environment and the circular dining area takes up less space and facilitates circulation. Finally we focused on designing a large TV cabinet that encompasses the dining room and the living room, as it manages to unite these two environments and allows it to look like one. The material and tones chosen helped us to give clarity and amplitude to the space.
RENDER
La remodelación de este apartamento se centró en mejorar la distribución. Actualmente el apartamento no dispone de comedor, ni de una sala de estar completa.
Se decidió crear una circulación lineal ininterrumpida. El sofá y su mesa de centro nos permiten crear un ambiente amplio y el comedor circular ocupa menos espacio y facilita la circulación. Por último nos centramos en diseñar un gran mueble de TV que engloba el comedor y el salón, ya que consigue unir estos dos ambientes y permite que parezca uno solo. El material y los tonos elegidos nos ayudaron a dar claridad y amplitud al espacio.
