_ ABOUT ME
From a very young age I have been interested in architecture and design. I completed my university studies at the University of Seville, Degree and Master in Architecture. In addition to Spain, I have lived a year in England, studying at Coventry University, and I have travelled to many countries. During these years I have participated in different architecture workshops, to improve my design and teamwork abilities. I am a very active and decisive person.
Currently, after working for a year as a project and buildings technician, completing the Master in interior design and hospitality, and completing the official Autodesk BIM Specialist course, I have been working in Terapia Urbana for more than 3 years. My position includes the development of landscaping and nature projects, budget development, sunlight and lighting studies, coordination of technical team and system production, project and team manager, among others.

It is a house designed for four students, who need large common spaces for social interaction, in addition to their own private space. The building is designed to receive light from the courtyards/patios produced by the separation from the dividing wall. The home is articulated by the creation of a central wall that contains the equipment of the house and allows the spaces around it to be generated.

03 _ BUILDING MEMORIES “LA PUTA SUEGRA” OFFICE
The project was designing a new complete office for the famous events agency “La Puta Suegra”. The building was a ground floor, 700m2 space, at 22@ district of Barcelona. The space will be used for receiving future clients and suppliers; it will also be the creative space for designers and creatives of the company.
The design was based on a previous investigation of the company projects and the brand values that they develop. The concept was called “Building memories”. Their work is to create memories for their clients at their events, as a result the office will be a sequence of memories. These memories will be created using sensations, the spaces are developed into different atmospheres that interlace together with a series of transitions. Light, colours and textures compose the atmospheres.
As a result, the office is composed of four main different atmospheres; theatral/exhibiting atmosphere, creative atmosphere, social atmosphere and concentration atmosphere.

INSIDE OUT, CO-HOUSING BUILDING
The project proposes an intervention in the current industrial zone of the port of Huelva. It consists of creating a new meeting point in the city capable of generating relationships and reactivating this space. The way to achieve this is designing a hybrid building capable of containing accommodation for all types of people and at the same time providing public and semi-public services to the city. The objective is to generate a series of collective accommodations that are nurtured from the common spaces.
As an intervention strategy it was decided to divide the plot into a series of bands that interrelated, both horizontally and vertically, to achieve a fluid space, without corridors or obstacles. Looking to get the outside feeling of street and plaza in all levels. The proposed typology is designed thinking about the basic needs of the inhabitant (eat, rest, bath) creating a minimum cell. To this is added one or two additional housing units according to the needs of the family that will live there. This minimum cell is complemented by the different common spaces that are distributed in different points of the building.
