Hello.
My name is Julio Ramirez , im a young architect with a passion for parametric and bioclimatic design , who believes that the future of architecture lies in our capabilities for creating human friendly spaces that coexist whithin the enviroment.
I was born and raised in Mexico, with complementary studies in italy ,at Politecnico di Milano, I’ve been part of multiple contests and developed my skills in international offices such as fr-ee and Materia Arq.
I believe that architecture is a tool and a product at the same time, that we have at our disposal to shape a better future for human communities and create a positive impact when designing new spaces for people and the planet. With enough freedom to create beautiful living sculptures that satisfies a whole new set of sensorial experiences for us and the upcoming generations

MARINA T O WER
CONCEPTUALIZA -
THE TOWER’S SHAPE WAS INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL LANDSCAPE, THE SEA AND THE ROCKS ON THE SHORE OF VERACRUZ BUT IN ORDER TO CREATE A FUNCTIONAL, AND BEAUTIFUL STRUCTURE WE DECIDED TO FOLLOW FOUR BASIC PRINCIPLES THAT WOULD SHAPE THE TOWER AND THE WAY IT INTERACTS WITH THE LANDSCAPE AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE INSIDE IT.
1.- A CENTRAL ELEVATOR SYSTEM, THAT ERRADICATES LONG HALLWAYS AND WASTED SPACE 2.- AN “L” SHAPE BUILDING, TO ENSURE A STABLE FOOTPRINT THAT WITHSTANDS THE STRONG WINDS FROM NATURAL CLIMATIC EVENTS SUCH AS “NORTE” 3.- TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THE ESCENIC 130 NATURAL VIEWS TO THE PUERTO CORALA BAY AND THE SEA FRONT, 4.- TWO INTERCONNECTED VOLUMES THAT WORK AS ONE AND SHARE COMMUNAL SPACES, TRANSFORMG THE ROOFTOPS IN TERRACES WITH AMMENITIES
URBAN PROPOSAL
THE PROJECT IS LOCATED AT THE SEA FRONT NEXT TO A LONG, UNMAINTAINED PUBLIC NATURAL RESERVE, AIMING TO REVITALIZE THE SPACE FOR COMMUNITY USE. THE PROJECT INCLUDES AN OPEN FRONT SEA PARK WITH A DOG PARK, GRILLS, A KID’S PLAY AREA, A BEACH CLUB,AND A SEA FRONT PROMENADE PROMOTING RECREATION AND SOCIAL INTERACTION. THE SEA FRONT PROMENADE WILL BE ENHANCED FOR BETTER ACCESSIBILITY AND VISUAL CONNECTIONS TO THE BEACH, COMPLETED BY INCORPORATING THE EXISTING BREAKWATER TO PROTECT THE BEACH, CREATE A PANORAMIC VIEWPOINT AND IMPROVE AESTHETICS. THIS DEVELOPMENT SEEKS TO CREATE A VIBRANT AND INCLUSIVE SPACE THAT CELEBRATES THE BEAUTY OF THE SEA FRONT AND ENCOURAGES COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
FLOOR PLAN
MARINA TOWER HAS 2 DISFERENT FLOOR PLAN TYPES WHO CHANGES AS THE TOWER REACHES THE SKY, CHANGING THE INTERIOR DISTRIBUTION TO FIT 2 AND 3 LUXURIOUS APARTMENT UNITS THAT GOES FROM 90 M2 TO 160 M2
MIRAMAR MASTERPLAN
URBAN PLANNING HOUSING COMMERCE
Inspired by the serenity of the Ria and the sea, Miramar is a real estate development that emerges along the coast of Veracruz, fostering a new community centered around its pedestrian-friendly and natural essence.
The design focuses on creating secure spaces that promote a sense of belonging. At its heart is a central promenade, a “Rambla” that seamlessly integrates sports, social, and commercial spaces, along with direct access to the beach.
The development also includes a clubhouse featuring a gym, sauna, steam room, spa, jacuzzi, and a social lounge, all aimed at promoting an active and communal lifestyle. Pedestrian paths and green areas are thoughtfully woven into an urban design that blends nature with modern architecture, crafting an oasis of tranquility and vibrancy.

REGENCY TOWER
HOSPITALITY HOUSING COMMERCE
INSPIRED BY THE AMAZING CULTURE AND HISTORY OF CARTAGENA DE INDIAS, ITS NATIVE ARTWORK, AND INDIGENOUS CULTURE CATALOGED AS CULTURAL HERITAGE BY UNESCO, THE TOWER IS THE ICON OF A NEW URBAN DEVELOPMENT PLANNED TO RESCUE THE FORGOTTEN DOCK AND CONTAINER YARD LOCATED IN MANGA, INSIDE THE CITY OF CARTAGENA
REGENCY CARTAGENA RETAKES CREATE A DIFFERENT APPROACH TO THEiIDEA OF THE TOWER AND TRANSFORM IT INTO A VERTICAL CITY, WHERE VERTICAL FARMING,COMMERCIAL SPACES, HOUSING, AND CONFERENCE CENTER MERGE INTO A SINGLE VASE SHAPE, AND CREATES A TWIN TOWER SYSTEM TO PROVIDE THE LOCALS WITH A NEW SPACE TO ENJOY THE CITY AND THE BAY.
THE TOWER AND THE PLAZA FOLLOWED A STRICT PRINCIPLE TO MITIGATE THE DIRECT HEAT ABSORPTION OF THE SUN RAYS, ADAPTING THE FACADE SURFACE BY CREATING APERTURES TO LET THE LIGHT PENETRATE ONLY AFTER 3 PM WHERE THE SUN IRRADIATION INDEX DIMINISH

BASIC SHAPE
BUNGALOW ZERO
Nestled on the picturesque shores of Lake Como, Italy, stands a proposal of the new way of living, a Zero Waste Eco-Friendly Bungalow. This dwelling embodies the perfect synergy of sustainable living, parametric design and natural beauty.
Crafted from the same earth in wich stands, the house emerges from the ground and redefines comfortable living while leaving minimal impact on the environment.
The house seamlessly blends into the surrounding landscape, with a design that complements the natural contours of the land. The volume showcases a harmonious mix of traditional shapes and clean lines, using a combination of sustainable materials abundant on the region with minimum or zero transportation involved, like rammed earth walls, reclaimed wood and in site made terracota, the thick rammed earth walls not only enhance aesthetics but also provides natural insulation and high thermal mass.
The architectural layout prioritizes both functionality and sustainability. An open-concept living area features large, energy-efficient windows that provides panoramic views of Lake Como and flood the interiors with natural light. The house is designed to maximize cross-ventilation, reducing the need for artificial cooling using passive cooling methods and takes advantage of the venturi effect. Also the CORTILE CENTRALE layout distibution helps to create small and energy efficient spaces , that captures the light in all of its faces and promotes ventilation.
The Bungalow was designed to meet all the standars of both passivehaus and LEED certifications ,to prove the efficiency of passive thermal control methods and also the possibility of building comfortable spaces with a neutral carbon footproint
As a member of Fernando Romero Enterprise team, I was involved in different aspects of the architectural labor and in different projects that challenge my capabilities and creativity,
Accompanied by the amazing architectural team, together we participated in many projects at different scales and purposes.
We went straight from houses to cultural pavilions, restoration, refurbishing, office layouts, hotels, museum design and urban design in FR-EE´s latest project.
I collaborated with the team in different projects mainly focused on the 3D design, 3D modeling, parametric design and rendering. Depending on the case and the specific needs of the project.
As a member of Materia team, I was involved in different projects that pull out the best of my capabilities and challenge my creativity, in order to answer the problems that we faced in the early stages of design, Pursuing the idea of creating beautiful spaces that also were functional, spaces that were capable of creating atmospheres, and convey emotions that trascend the space itself and envolve the user.
Together with the architectural team. we created a lot of spaces that found answers to many questions and approaches of the different problems that we face in the architectural labor. We created together many residential projects in large and small scales. Commercial, Hotels, Retail design interior and exterior. Museums, Pavilions, and Cultural landmarks, always guided by the office’s essence: The absolute care to the fine detail and the. worship of materiality that connects and defines all of the projects in an unconscious level.
