Memorial Sanctuary – Final Degree Thesis La Hoyada, Ayacucho
The project is based on the idea of creating a crack in the earth — an opening in the ground that symbolizes the deep wound left by terrorism between 1980 and 2000 in the city of Ayacucho, Peru. It represents a social and cultural fracture, as well as a rupture in space and time that allows visitors to travel to the past while standing in the present, always with the future in mind.
This project aims to generate both urban and memorial impact, becoming a significant landmark in the city — one that fosters a sense of belonging and identity, and promotes the development of collective memory. Its ultimate goal is to awaken awareness, reflection, inclusion, and, above all, reconciliation among the people of Ayacucho — “so that it may never happen again.”
The experience of the journey encompasses the before, during, and after of the period of violence. The visitor enters the project through the exhumations, continues through the exhibitions with a constant play of light and shadows, changes in scale, and voids that accompany the atmosphere of each room. It culminates in a large viewpoint overlooking the natural surroundings outside the city of Ayacucho, offering the visitor a moment of contemplation of life and reconciliation with history and the past.
Situated in a significant place of memory (Memorial Sanctuary: La Hoyada), we made the decision to create a project that complements the site without overshadowing it — one that engages in dialogue with its surroundings, respects them, and enhances them.
Therefore, we propose an underground building with a monolithic character and brutalist language, which modifies the natural slope of the hill, adapts to its environment, and responds to the principles of Land Art. The project aims to generate both urban and memorial impact, becoming an important landmark in the city. It seeks to foster a sense of belonging and identity, promote the development of collective memory, and encourage awareness, reflection, inclusion, and above all, reconciliation among the people of Ayacucho
The brief was to intervene in a city block with public equipment, for which a gastronomic center was proposed. The irregularity of the land, the urban context, and the requirement to create a public space were all taken into account. Therefore, the main intention was to generate a system of plazas with a public program through modular architecture, creating a semi-public level as well as a more private level for workshops or classes.
The concept of the proposal is based on a typical limeño dessert — honey cookies/turrón. These are made up of many layers, just like the project. Similar to the cookie, there are two platforms (terraces with public spaces) and the filling (enclosed spaces).

The brief was to intervene in a plot of land where the urban context was very important, as it had two facades. One faced a huaca, meaning the project had to enhance and give value to it.
The intention of the project was to highlight the huaca through both the visual and physical connection to the park located in front of the other facade, opposite the huaca itself. Therefore, the decision was made to divide the volume into two, playing with the heights, the classical facades of the area, and creating a passage from the park to the huaca with a pedestrian scale that would provide a unique experience for the user..

I was involved in the areas of architecture, post-sale, and sales, always being proactive and a fast learner. In architecture, I supported the as-built plans during the finishing stage of the project, and also made proposals for areas such as the kitchen for the clients. I created details, designed furniture such as the lobby, coordinated plans, and worked directly with clients (sales and post-sale) and with the workers to ensure the correct execution of the project.

Interior Design for Master Bedroom
06 MASTER BEDROOM
The brief was to design a master bedroom to remodel part of an old house in San Isidro. The clients were an older couple with grown children. They wanted to capture as much natural light as possible, so neutral and light tones were chosen. They requested a Queen-sized bed, mirrors for each person, and wanted to make the most of the window area. Additionally, they wanted to add a desk/vanity, elegant artificial lighting, and a minimalist, functional entertainment unit.
