Hi!
My name is Daniela, I´m from Mexico, I´m 25 years old, and I´m an Interior Architect.
Graduated with honors in Bachelor of Interior Architecture. I believe life feels more passionate when the spaces we live in feel like they were made just for us, like wearing the perfect size shoe. I aspire to design spaces that feel as good as they look, creating sensorial comfort and a satisfaying experience for each user. I have had the oppotunity to work in residential architecure as well as in commercial and residential interior design for almost 3 years.

A HOUSE FOR CHOLULA
Calle 2 Nte. San Juan Aquiahuac, San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, México.
December 2020
Cholula is one of Mexico’s historically important colonial towns, home of the Great Pyramid or Tlachihualtépetl which is considered the largest pyramidal base in the world. It’s also host to a number of restaurants, cafes, and small stores which give life to this beautiful town.
“A House for Cholula” is a bioclimatic house intended to be inhabited by two students and to accommodate two of the businesses that characterize the route and the contextual image of this site.
The first level was destinated for these two commercial spaces and the access to the house. A versatile space was designed to house any type of busines.
The second level houses a home for two students. The design of this space was tought to generate small, functional, areas as well as naturally ventilated and illuminated spaces.

QUETZALCÓATL NORTE
Quetzalcóatl street in San Andrés Cholula, Puebla, Mexico.
December 2021
Quetzalcoatl was an Aztec and Mayan creator god, who was also the patron of rain, science, agriculture, and much more. He was depicted as a combination of the green quetzal bird and a serpent.
“Quetzalcóatl Norte” is a design proposal for a vertical residential building that incorporates sustainable design theory to improve interior comfort. To achieve this, an environmental simulation software was used to visualize and evaluate the design.
The project targets young users and it´s located in a urban context, where they play a significant role in the economic and social development. The volumetric design prioritize the extension of green areas to provide the correct natural illumination and ventilation. The resulting architectural composition includes parking for 21 cars, two commercial spaces, 14 “studio” apartments, and 7 “2 bedrooms” apartments distributed across four towers with 3 and 4 levels.
