Renovation of a mid-19th century house in Badalona. This low-budget project focused on preserving and restoring as much of the original structure as possible. Non-load-bearing walls were removed to allow more natural light to flow through the space, and built-in furniture was added to enhance the living areas.
This project, located in Sentmenat, is designed as a retirement home for an elderly woman. The site contained the ruins of a house that was originally planned in the 1970s. Given the need to keep building costs very low, we aimed to preserve and reuse as much of the existing structure as possible, minimizing any demolition.
An L-shaped villa situated in the hills of Olivella. The simple form, executed in exposed concrete, led to the development of many interesting construction details.
This project is a ceremony room for an aircraft company. It is used for celebrations with the clients when the final payment for an aircraft is received. The space is designed for dining, celebrations, and presentations, and needed to leave a lasting impression on the clients. With a limited budget and the existing structure of the building untouched, we focused on redesigning the core of the space. The rest of the interior was furnished with flexible, standalone pieces, allowing it to be adapted to suit the clients‘ needs.
This chair is designed for use in spaces such as entrance halls or waiting areas and can stand independently. The back panel allows for flexible placement, creates a focal point in the space, and provides the seated person with a sense of privacy and a protected back.
This was the starting point of the project. My partner and I were given a simple, traditional chair. Apart from the finishing, it was in good condition, and its strong form was quite appealing, so we aimed to preserve as much of it as possible.
The concept was to retain the entire chair, except for one leg, and give it a fresh coat of paint. In contrast to the chair’s traditional form, we designed a structure made from a single 3mm steel plate, which can be laser-cut and folded. The steel plate includes a hanger for clothes, and the side table supports part of the chair while replacing the missing leg. Painted in the same color as the upholstery, the chair maintains a monochromatic look, with the only distinction being the difference in materials.
This project was part of an ideas competition organized by the city council of Stuttgart. The task was to make the riverbanks more attractive and better integrate them into the urban plan. Situated near a weir, our design aimed to explore the unique atmosphere of the site without disturbing the local flora and fauna. It was a highly imaginative project where my partner and I pushed the boundaries of form and membrane construction as far as we could.
THE END OF THE TUNNEL
The air smelled and tasted like it has already been breathed. She was bored.
Slowly, it was getting brighter again.
The Radio was crackling several times. Suddenly a voice began speaking in a language she couldnt understand. She was happy about finally beeing allowed again to roll down the window.
„Tunnelstories and Their Endings“ is a mobile exhibition that explores the experience of emerging from a tunnel. Exiting a tunnel can evoke various emotions in people. Each standalone exhibit represents a different tunnel and captures the feeling of that specific tunnel on multiple levels.
