PRIMARY AND SECONDARY SCHOOL
District: Pachacamac
City: Lima
Country: Peru
This thesis project focuses on the design of a public primary and secondary school in Manchay, Pachacamac, a rapidly growing peripheral area of the city facing a shortage of educational infrastructure.
The proposal aims to create flexible, playful spaces that are closely connected to the outdoors, aligning with the spatial needs of active pedagogical methodologies. Additionally, the design strengthens the relationship between the school and the local community by allowing certain areas to be used outside school hours and by creating permeable edges that foster integration with the surrounding urban fabric.

Kids Made Here is a fashion brand known for its bold, youthful, and expressive identity. It targets young women and men with trend-driven designs and creates a playful in-store experience through music, scent, and vibrant visual elements that reflect confidence and individuality. The concept store design follows a vintage style, evoking coziness and comfort.
The project features six distinct zones within the sales area. Before reaching the dressing rooms, a lounge area offers a space for customers to relax, explore upcoming brand events, and interact with the store’s custom music selection, enhancing engagement through a playful in-store experience.
To enhance the coziness of the space, warm and soft lighting is used throughout. Focal lighting highlights the clothing collections while creating an inviting atmosphere. Pendant fixtures are strategically placed across the store to reinforce this effect. The warm lighting, combined with natural materials like wood and brick, further enhances the store’s vintageinspired design.
