ABSTRACT
In an increasingly decadent and neglected historic city center, we were tasked with the aim of giving a second life to a patrimonial house while integrating it into a completely new and contemporary project.
Tasked with the design process as well as the graphic representation of the project, this project aimed to combine digital modeling techniques with post-production to create photomontages that bring the proposal closer to reality from the conceptual process. Architectural sketches were also vital for the development of spatial proposals
The concept of the new volume sought mimesis through the proportional relationship of elements such as baseboards, openings, columns, and slabs, as well as a palette of materials that highlight the characteristics of the original site. All with the purpose of delivering a visually appealing space that, at the same time, integrates into the context without overshadowing the patrimonial house.
The project divides the uses of the photographic studio into two parts, where the original site serves as a place for workshops as well as the exhibition of historical photographs. Meanwhile, the contemporary volume features professional facilities for photography use, as well as an exhibition space for photographs of star artists After

Place: Marfa / United States Visitor center 2023
ABSTRACT
Marfa, a small settlement located in Texas, United States, attracts its main tourism through the artistic movement that arrived in the area. This small town is the focus of the project, in which we were tasked with creating, within a week, a recreational space, art exhibition area, and theater, all with the aim of meeting the need for a place to welcome tourism.
This project involved collaborative participation in the design process, as well as the representation of perspectives using architectural sketch techniques, along with digital tools for their illustration.
The conceptual idea for the project originates from the rocky formations found in the desert area, where the project is divided into multiple volumes with varying heights, interweaving them with a set of roof slabs to assist with solar incidence. At the center of the project is an open space with a concrete roof anchored by tensioners to a monolithic concrete column, creating a passage to an underground theater or to the lookout that offers a spectacular view of the desert landscapes in the area.
The material palette involves rammed earth walls, as well as precast concrete elements in slabs and columns. Water was also a key aspect to observe the effects of vibration in a stream that runs along the proximity to the train tracks.

Boho Hotel + Market 2021
Place: Guadalajara / Mexico
ABSTRACT
The archetype of a commercial hotel and market is well-defined with conventional amenities. In this project, we took on the task of reinventing the possibilities of integrating these amenities into the interior spaces, aiming to create a sensory experience unlike any other place.
Collaborating in the design process and responsible for digital modeling using BIM software, this project demanded a significant effort to carry out one of the most complex structures I have designed. However, like any challenge, it served as a great motivator to explore to the fullest the potential of a project with the capability to generate a sensory impact through structural beauty.

The concept arises from the monumentality of pre-hispanic temples, relying on the abstraction of the staggered elements generated in the main volumes. It is a project where water is our primary ally, as it is the central focus of the pools intertwined in the walkways of the lobby that lead towards the spa volume, where the "temazcal" water baths are located.

Place: Guadalajara / Mexico Art Workshop + Art Gallery 2021
Returning to the city center, we encounter a program that requires hosting an artistic workshop with an art exhibition, where one of the main focuses is the presence of a park located just beside the site.
This individual project was one of the initial experiences with the use of BIM software, as well as the use of architectural sketching to generate a panoramic view of the project, showcasing the integration that the volume proposes for the public space.
The concept arises from the monumentality of the brutalist movement present in certain buildings in the area; however, it avoids having blind facades on the property, aiming to connect the interior with the exterior through a cantilevered volume that respects the boundaries of the land to maintain integration with neighboring sites. At the same time, it provides a passage through the property, allowing space for pedestrians to walk through.

Gated Residential Community 2024
Place: Guadalajara / Mexico
Looking back at my first professional project, I had the opportunity to serve as the lead designer for two housing prototypes located in the northern part of the city. These prototypes were designed for a site of nearly 11,000 square feet, which will become the future development of a private community aimed at newlywed couples seeking a home that meets the needs of their first residence.
All of this was achieved while maintaining a low cost and offering two options tailored to the primary needs of the users, without compromising the aesthetic appeal of the community.

The first version offers a more affordable housing option, with the laundry facilities located near the garden area. However, the sense of spaciousness in the living areas is not compromised. Similarly, the upper floor maintains an identical layout for the private areas.
The second version unlocks the potential of a panoramic garden spanning the entire floor layout includes the same number of bedrooms; however,
