MY ROOM

East Ham, London 2020 This project is inspired in a personal and important object such as the Rosary beads which was studied in detail.

The second phase of this project is the creation of another object based in the first one which is going to be located insied my room.

A cardboard box with beads represents the importance of the Rosary beads along my life. Through crossed wires, the movement that the timber frame created and the lack of light shows the difficult path until arriving at the real

WATER TREASURES

TRINITY BUOY WHARF MUDLARK STUDIO

Trinity Buoy Wharf, London 2020 The porject is about the creation of an studio for a mudlark next to the river Thames.

The project is based on the treasures that the water hides and the natural qualities of the place. The main idea is create a perfect relation between the building and natural environment. Taking advantage of the river wall as part of the building and the down view of the water to know the best moments to recollect the treasuares and for inpiration.

Underwater conditions inside of the building

Grand entrance as a welcome to the people who are looking at the ground treasures directing them to the water treasures. The concrete wall is affected by the water conditions with time, allowing harmony between the new building and the river wall.

ALIVE RAMMED EARTH COMPETITION - SHORLISTED Located in Weissenssee, Austria, a rammed earth pavilion sits within the threshold created by lake and mountain. The building is designed to take you through a journey of the life of rammed earth, beginning with its raw, rough texture, moving on to its most refined state and lastly, inevitably becoming its most derelict, one can admire the moment where its life as a building material comes to an end. The pavilion uses, earth, stone and timber, to compose its structure and building form, which are local to the site.

THE TRINITY PROJECT WAF STUDENT CHARRETTE 2023 - SHORLISTED Bangladesh, with its swamp-dominated terrain, is highly susceptible.

When exploring strategies to address shrinking land due to rising sea levels, the concept of constructing over water gains significance.

The human habitation necessitates shelter, sustenance, and potable water. The triangular shape emerged as the ideal foundation for our innovative platform. This trinity of elements has been the catalyst inspiring our residential modular structure, adept at addressing not only human habitation but also embodying the vital attributes of strength, equilibrium, and adaptability.

Six platforms interlinked form a hexagonal nucleus, poised to burgeon into a sprawling metropolis like beehive growth.
