This residental building is designed with the intenton of being a landmark for the city. It’s high of 141 dwellings and iconic fgure must be recognizable from anywhere in the city. The area where this parcel is located is now a poor developed area with no further infrastructure, this is the reason why within the program is included a supermarket, a food court and 3 foors of ofces for either residents or outsiders.

The challenge is to identfy the productve services in the area and try to bring a program that complements this servicies in the neighboardhood. There is also a close relaton with the railway that cruises this avenue in partcular which may be use for further developments in the area as well to connect this building .

FINAL DEGREE PROJECT- THEATER FOR THE CITY

My personal approach for this project starts with my own background as a ballet dancer. My research involved the number of theaters on a country scale, design wise in Latn America and Europe and fnally a city scale with all the cultural venues. The physical links between where very important for deciding the parcel where it should be located creatng a beter cultural network. In the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra there is no big scale theater and this is afectng the cultural history and well as the development of it. Creatng this building will embrace the citzens sense of belonging and be a bridge for the central more cultural area with the periphery.

STUDIO REAKTOR- STRIX OFFICES RENOVATION

STRIX is the second project I’ve been involved at Studio Reaktor. This building is located in Chomutov in the north of the Czech Republic. The concept started with a material they produce which is the rock mesh for protecton on roads and also the premise of making a fresh new facade accompaining the company colors.

This must be an iconic building for the city because it is intended for the parcel next to it to create a new railway staton next to it. So the infuence and frecuency of use will increase through the years.

The design was done by Vojtech Ryzner and myself together

My part was to create the base and design of the facad e and how the moduls will work . Since it was a internal competton what is shown here is the start of the concept design but at the end all the parteners decided on taking another concept because of the competton. The design of the building changed a bit at the end as you can see in the fnal visualizaton.

TRAIN STATION REVITALIZATION-MSA competton entry

The train staton revitalizaton in the ara of Uhrineves, at the outskirts of Prague. According the planifcaton distributon the area designated at the surroundings of the train staton need most importantly a beter pedestrian entrance to the staton. The assigment covers only the staton surrondings yet talking with the people from the neighbourhood they pointed out more gathering spaces were missing and claim for greener areas all together.

So we proposed 3 stages according to what can be undoubtly predicted. In front of the staton is spected to grow as residental complexes. We propose retail and housing together as a long boulevard and passage , providing a lively experience along the rails. In accordance a new trafc soluton for the local buses that serve the train staton .

RADLICKA RESIDENCES

Skanska real state-competton entry

For this internal competton, we proposed energy efcient compact fats, from 1kk, 2kk, 3kk, and 4kk. The orientaton of the building was carefully rotated so that within the three volumes non will shade a fat from the opposite side.

They request a biophilic feeling on the design, so we integrated winter balconies in the south facade and mid-size green houses in the breaking points of the last foor. The idea is that the top foor will have more fexibility combined with the green house, allowing the user to ,for example, expand their living room and connect it with the green house space. Overall since the terrain has a steep slope. In the front entry towards the street there will be a small square that can link to a possible Cafe that ideally will work as a bio/organic cafe given the characteristcs of the atmosphere , we think the possible users will be young couples or young profesionals. The aim for farming indoors are afer the pandemic that cleared out the faws of not having more resilient housing in the city.

MALESICKA RESIDENCES

Mestrostav development-competton entry

This residental building is located in a residental area in Prague where there are not high rise buildings. The intenton to make diferent sizes for the apartments at least in every two foors to get a more interestng facade was important for this project.

The average residental buildings in Prague are quite fat visualy so we wanted to give a litle more but not with such a high contrast to the area. In total we made over 200 fats in a 6000 m2 area.

We wanted to achive the maximun rentable capacity. Unfortunately other company won the competton with less apartments and gross area.

ART SCHOOL PARDUBICE-MSA competton entry

Green roof with solar panels. And sublte spaces, meetng the requeriments, not exceding on size to keep minimun impact.

The interior of the concert hall all in wood that if I may consider into more detail may be from recycled sources. The approach for the furniture if it goes to a second stage at the same tme will be from upcycling and if it it can for the whole building be from upclycing sources.

This is one of the latest compettons entries from the ofce for the city of Pardubice. They request an primary school focused on the arts with an auditorium with 300 seats, 10 classrooms, a second hall for performances. We proposed a C shape school with classrooms in the perimeter and a pato in the center. The proposal tries to follow an enviromental line with a wooden plank facade.

BRATISLAVA RESIDENCES competton entry

This residental building is situated in the Sky Park in Bratslava, Slovakia. Just 200 m from the Danube river. Competng with hig end architecture we wanted to make something above outstanding and at the same tme energy efcient in term of creatng exacts modules of 6.6m x 4.16m to compact aproximately 480 fats in 21 752 total gross area.
