02 KELVINGROVE PARK HOSPICE
2015 GLASGOW, SCOTLAND
“I can not cure your illness, but I can make you laugh”
A hospice as a place for living is a house full of life. Placed on a cultural context in Kelvingrove Park achieving an important landmark character, it sits sculturally in the site. As it is designed for young adults, considering the community areas the heart of the hospice was essential. Rooms are facing the river because of its therapeutic effect, treatment spaces are facing the road creating a barrier, and all of them are distributed around common spaces. Conceived not only as a house but also as a contemporary place to socialise with others, the sense of domesticity is achieved with the timber-clad walls, familiar objects and healing spaces. Intermediate spaces such as the loggia and terraces act as buffers between the inside and the outside, creating new posibilities for casual encounters focused on enjoying the end of their lives.

RAISED NEIGHBOURHOOD
2013 BELLINZONA, SWITZERLAND
In the middle of the countryside, where the residential complex is placed on, a different way of conceiving dwelling is proposed. In its labyrinthine grouping of five building blocks, the complex mixes common living spaces, sports facilities and green areas, including “elevated paths” of public circulation galleries, promoting community living in a sustainable way. According to its cultural significance and landscape affinity, brick facades enclose the buildings, which are punctured strategically to provide the privacy or the public needed, while timber galleries give access to them.

05 WORKSHOP PAVILION
2012 SEVILLE, SPAIN
Inspired by a flower shape, a public leisure pavilion is set in the edge of the main park of the city, in order to transform this obsolete area in an attractive place, offering new experiences. Aimed at Seville dwellers and visitors willing to participate in cultural activities, the workshop centre contains a painting studio, an exhibition space, a conference room, a small cafe/lounge area and a welcome lobby, which are all marked by its fexibility. In contrast, the administration area, toilets and storage rooms are located in the concrete core of the pavilion. The design adopts a combination of contrasting materials types, with a heavy ceramic lattice, simulating sorrounding trees silhouettes, arranged under a lightweight copper pavilion supported by a hidden steel framing.
