La Paz del Rosario | final career project The following project was designed as a final career project. It is located in a town called La Paz, situated in Colonia department, Southwest of Uruguay. The site for the project enjoys a view and access to a river called Rosario River. This characteristic allowed the project to establish a strong connection with nature, as the construction was designed to be projected over the water. To enhance the connection with nature and create a sustainable project that harmonizes with the environment, various wooden buildings were designed. Following the sustainability line, the project was conceived to be self-sufficient. This idea is achieved through the implementation of solar panels capable of generating sufficient energy to supply different sectors. In terms of thermal conditioning, wood-burning stoves, ceiling fans, and green roofs were used, depending on the project area. The focus was also on preserving a significant number of trees in the area and planting new ones to serve as wind and solar barriers. Regarding the irrigation of the area, a system was designed to collect water from the river for irrigation in both the orchard and the terrain.

The project includes a parking lot accompanied by a large orchard, a restaurant, a nautical club, and eight cabins. The access to the complex is through the parking lot, which is bordered by a sufficiently large and varied orchard to supply the users. From there, a concrete tile walkway leads guests to a long and illuminated wooden deck, connecting all sectors of the project, including the restaurant, nautical club, and cabins. At one end, it features a direct descent to the river for boats and canoes. The restaurant and nautical club areas consist of two large platforms that appear to float. The structure comprises piles, beams, and pillars. The lower platform is supported on a pile foundation, while the upper platform is supported on pillars. Additionally, the upper platform serves as a walkable roof, with a green area and a wooden deck from where users can jump into the river. The cabins have a similar structure, with the difference that their roofs are not walkable. Each cabin has its own kitchenette and bathroom. There are three types of cabins depending on the number of guests: one for two people, another for three, and another for four.

02 Shark Café | coffee shop proposal
Proposals are made for the conditioning and improvement of the premises located in Punta del Este, on Rambla Dr. Claudio Williman and Pedro Risso, Uruguay. The work includes various aspects such as demolitions, the construction of an exterior extension on the ground floor, masonry, plumbing, window installation, electrical installation, and painting. For the exterior area, the project proposes creating a wooden deck where tables and lounge areas will be placed. The area will be protected by a pergola with a wooden structure, attached to masonry walls, allowing the placement of awnings to generate shade and provide greater comfort to users. Finally, the entrance and both the exterior and interior areas of the cafeteria are expected to be decorated with various vegetation. This decision not only reinforces sustainability but also adds privacy and protection against natural elements such as wind and solar radiation.

Certain walls are proposed for demolition to create more spacious areas. Additionally, the removal of floors, coatings, and openings is planned for the installation of new materials. Some existing walls will be retained, receiving appropriate finishing with rough and fine plaster, and finally, a wood veneer. In the case of restrooms, gypsum walls will be built for the disabled area. Meanwhile, other divisions corresponding to the booths will be resolved with wooden carpentry. The walls will be covered with wood or wood-like panels, chosen for their sustainability. The remaining walls will be painted with washable and anti-fungal white paint for easy cleaning.

Martí Project | apartment renovation
This is a renovation of an apartment located in the Pocitos area, Montevideo, Uruguay, aiming to give the space a more modern appearance and improved functionality. The most significant intervention in the renovation was in the kitchen and bathrooms. The transformation involved replacing the original plumbing with new pipes, installing high-quality floors and coatings, and replacing new openings. For the kitchen, a custom furniture design was executed, merging practicality and aesthetics in every corner. Throughout the apartment, changes were made to the electrical installation, adding new strategically located outlets and carefully relocating others. Additionally, new air conditioning units were installed in two areas (one in the living room and another in a bedroom).

Regarding the walls, the original ones were maintained, except for two in the living room and kitchen, which were demolished. This modification allowed for the creation of an integrated kitchen-living-dining space, making it more spacious and brighter. Furthermore, all walls and ceilings were painted for finishing and maintenance. In the bedrooms, the closets were cleverly adapted to offer functional space, and the openings were adjusted.

Punta del Este Project | second bathroom In the pursuit of maximum comfort and style, a complete renovation of two bathrooms located in Punta del Este, Uruguay, was implemented. The starting point was the complete removal of existing cladding and flooring, paving the way for a new palette of materials that redefines the atmosphere of these spaces. All sanitary elements were replaced, from toilets to sinks and faucets. In the smaller bathroom, a neutral, smooth ceramic was chosen for both the floor and walls, except for one wall covered with a designed ceramic with texture and reliefs. A mirror and a cabinet with a sink were placed on this particular wall. Another significant change was the relocation of the water heater outside the bathroom, providing more space and comfort.

Punta del Este Project | first bathroom In the larger bathroom, different ceramics were used. The predominant ceramic is large-sized and light-toned, with a marble-like pattern that adds brightness to the place. The shower area was covered with square, smooth, and darker ceramics than the rest. To optimize space, fixed furniture attached to the wall was carefully designed in both cases. The furniture houses a countertop sink, allowing efficient use of space and providing a modern and tidy aesthetic to the bathroom. The original lighting fixtures were replaced with new pieces that not only offer higher illumination but also add a touch of contemporary design.

Pocitos Project | backyard decoration
This project was a somewhat challenging proposal because the goal was to decorate the terrace without construction work, using old furniture. The terrace is located on the first floor of a building in Punta Carretas, Montevideo, Uruguay. The decoration involved the incorporation of new elements such as lighting, an awning, lanterns, a barbecue, a bench, and vegetation. The first design and execution involved the construction of a wooden bench. It lacks a backrest, but custom-designed cushions were added. It was located in the garden area, given the available space. Behind the bench, a garden with selected plants suitable for the location and its climatic conditions was created. A combination of different green-leaved plants mixed with a few colorful ones was chosen for contrast. Lighting fixtures, both decorative and functional, were gradually added. Wall luminaires were replaced with new ones featuring a modern style and wall-level illumination. Additionally, the bench was illuminated from below to create a sense of lightness and highlight its position in the backyard. Decorative lighting elements like lanterns and garlands were also applied. In the area where the outdoor living set was placed, an electric awning was installed to protect the furniture and users from natural elements such as solar radiation and rain. As an addition to make the backyard even more functional and habitable, a movable barbecue was placed next to a dining set integrated with a bar and stools.

La Marina House Project | family residence
This residence was designed for a family of three members and is developed on a single level, containing all the necessary spaces for a home. The construction consists of two bedrooms, two bathrooms (one of them en-suite), a kitchen, a living-dining room, a pantry/storage room, and an outdoor grill area. It is composed of three volumes with a strong presence. On one side, a trapezoidal prism of approximately 3.70 meters in height contains the social area. On the other side, a rectangular prism predominates with a height of 4.20 meters, indicating the separation of the social-intimate area of the residence and containing the wood-burning stove and storage space. Finally, a rectangular prism of lower height, approximately 2.90 meters, forms the intimate area. Access is through a main door, leading to the living-dining room with an integrated kitchen. This space corresponds to the social area of the residence and has a large window connecting the interior to the backyard. In the backyard, a deck was planned along with an outdoor grill and a large swimming pool.

Both from the entrance hall and the living room, it is possible to access the corridor that is part of the intimate area of the residence. From there, you can reach bathrooms and bedrooms. The master bedroom overlooks the backyard and has a dressing room and en-suite bathroom, while the other bedroom overlooks the front of the house. The remaining bathroom is adjacent to this bedroom. Regarding the materiality, both the walls and the roof are a lightweight construction of sandwich panels. Except for one of them (the central wall) which is traditionally built with bricks, as it houses the wood-burning stove. The building is supported on a reinforced concrete slab as the foundation. Two different types of finishes were implemented depending on the area. Internally, the walls were covered with plasterboard, a layer of putty, and finally, paint. On the exterior, a base coat layer and colored plaster were chosen as the finish. The windows are black-colored aluminum with double-glazed glass.
