Master Thesis awarded ‘With Honors’
in the last 50 years the changes in production methods has left along the river fronts of the Ter a set of abandoned industrial heritage that is difficult to recover.
the proposal transforms Can Tarrés, an abandoned textile factory, into public housing and cultural and educational facilities.
key words: reuse cooperation autoconstruction you can find
can3R puts into practice the reuse of the resources available on site to produce new architectural solutions through the recycling of waste from demolitions.
the project encompasses social, management, urban and architectural aspects that are coordinated in a unitary proposal to address the problem of access to housing and resources.
of three buildings with offices and production
(Stuttgart / 2022) collaboration w/ Fundbüro Design LP1-LP5
key words: refurbishment coworking branding
after intensive research and the elaboration of a development strategy, we proceeded with the restructuring of the company´s headquarters. the new big-scale intervention is therefore focused on two main points: repairing all the weak points detected in the analysis phase, and creating the spaces and tools the company needs to achieve its goals in the near future.
the building was emptied and completely refurbished: all the building’s internal communications and uses were redistributed in accordance with the existing relationships between departments, creating a new bridge to connect the different volumes. office spaces were redesigned to adapt to the new working systems.

key words: refurbishment ethereal design
the project was a challenge on its own. the building was fully protected, and second, its complex geometry in plan and section made the program difficult to integrate. after a thorough analysis, it was decided to maintain the approved building envelope. all the efforts were put into modifying the interior to get the maximum out of this interesting location.
following the concept
“Up in the sky”, the aim is to create an ethereal, quiet, cosy space, that connects the interior with the Berlin skyline. for this purpose, we have chosen a distribution of open spaces, with great fluidity. each activity is defined by sinuous furniture that contributes to improving circulations.
of an attic in
key words: refurbishment home monochrome
this project transforms an empty attic in a prenzlauerberg building into a home for a young family.
in order to gain as much living space as possible, an extra floor is built, suspended under the gable roof, to accomodate the master bedroom. the different rooms adapt to the existing typology of the slope of the existing roof, but also adding two side openings (gaube) to gain height in the main spaces and views to the outside.
a palette of warm, calm colours was chosen to give the space a harmonious feel.

key words: refurbishment identity design
the transformation of an old school a great challenge due to its characteristic circumstances.
the building had to be renovated maintaining the protected facades of the old school, and the original structure with a central patio characteristic of the buildings in the area. in the operation, it was therefore decided to preserve all the protected elements, and also those that give character to this building from last century. for example, the large tower in the courtyard or the blackboards of the old classrooms.
to achieve the connection between the two volumes of the building, a series of walkways were introduced in the patio, contrastrasting with the old building due to their modernity, and making the new intervention even more evident.
15 apartments around a patio
(Valencia
key words: refurbishment housing façade design
located in a protected neighborhood on the shores of the Mediterranean, this building seeks to replicate the traditional architecture of the surroundings in a contemporary way.
here the typical houses were built on small family gardens, which generates narrow buildings with long interiors. this morphology made necessary the introduction of an interior patio that not only provided light but also helped to improve the ventilation of the interiors, especially in the hottest months of the year.
in accordance, the exterior of the building is fragmented to correct the large proportions of the plot on which it stands, imitating the colorful arrangement of the streets of the neighborhood.
key words: commons mapping neighbourhood resistance
what role can we ourselves play as practitioners in such processes characterised by the pressure of financialisation, precarisation, displacement and appropriation on the one hand, and reproductive work, urban subsistence economy and the desire for the good life on the other?
how can a self-determined production of space as Spatial Commons be distinguished from an exclusionary production of space as Separate Spaces=Club Spaces, and how can it be recognised and shaped - actively, creatively and in solidarity?
what is the relevance of the practices on site in the context of an urban development oriented towards the common good?
key words: infrastructure entropy landscape
the ringbahn line establishes a boundary between the inside and the outside of the city, connecting and excluding at the same time. this project is interested in exploring these contradictions by essentially altering one of its intrinsic conditions: speed.
this experiment takes place between the built city and the urban voids. in this space of encounter, walking becomes the tool with which to approach this marginal landscape.
what happens on the margins of such a busy infrastructure? what kind of landscapes appear spontaneously produced by the entropy of the city? how can I explain the complex geography of a city like Berlin from my own perceptions?
key words: gentrification identity production of space
how can we understand the transformations of the city based on the daily experiences of the individuals who live in them?
the research opens a conversation about the daily experience of a district, Arganzuela, which in the last 10 years has faced a series of important morphological transformations that have led to changes both in the social fabric and in its emotional and identity construction.
the aim of this work is to analyse this relationship, starting from the premise that beyond the ongoing urban transformations, neighbourhoods achieve to protect their own construction of the everyday experiences of their inhabitants.

key words: gender equality local sustainable
the ‘’women’s land’’ project is a response to an inequality observed in traditional senegalese practices and still present today. in most situations, women are unable to inherit land and are dependent on their husbands for access to it.
in response to this situation, the project aims to create an environment of shared use and co-ownership for the women of Baghère, which can be enjoyed and developed generation after generation. in this way, it seeks to strengthen the links between women and, therefore, their empowerment through the permanence over time of this architectural proposal.
(Madrid / 2020)
BAM competition 2020 w/ Adriana, Gonzalo, Carlo, Javier, Guille
key words: prototype mutant atmosphere
what will work spaces be like in post-covid times? domestic space has become a daily work space for many. domestic spaces are absorbing uses that were previously atomised in the city.
we believe it is necessary to generate boundaries and separations within the chaotic domestic space. these separations must be opaque enough to give privacy to work, but at the same time, be ephemeral and flexible enough so that our homes can return to their “normal” configuration when necessary. of all the possibilities available, we chose an origami divider, the Miura: a flexible, selfsupporting, single piece prorotype.
