Summit Hotel
The project is located in the city of Turin, where, based on a thorough site analysis and a detailed understanding of user needs, the design was centered on creating a versatile hotel. This hotel aims to cater effectively to the diverse requirements of both business travelers and tourists, offering tailored amenities and spaces that ensure comfort.
CURRENT SITUATION AND TARGET USERS
CONCEPT
1. ADDITION OF VOLUME
Taking into consideration the historical context of the site, the design began with the preservation of the existing building, upon which an additional volume was introduced. This new volume was strategically cut to orient the entire roof towards the sun, maximizing natural light. The roof itself incorporates a green design that seamlessly extends into the outdoor street-level space, contributing to the overall aesthetics while significantly reducing the cooling and heating demands of the building, particularly on the highly exposed side subject to intense solar radiation.ces the sun, maximizing natural light.

Primary Health
Health Centre
The project arose from the urgent need to provide Ukraine with health centers that are highly functional, quick to implement and easy to build, in order to provide efficient medical care in the context of the war that continues to affect the country. The proposal guarantees an adaptable design that is resistant to the difficult conditions of the environment.
DEVELOPMENT OF MODULES
The project is structured around two modules, conceived as key elements to ensure constructions that are quick, easy and efficient to implement. This modularity not only facilitates the construction process by allowing standardized repetition of the units, but also offers a flexible and scalable solution, as it makes it possible to expand the project according to future needs.
In addition, modular design optimizes resources, reduces execution times and ensures greater adaptability to different contexts and requirements, making it an essential strategy for projects of these characteristics.

Maternity
Maternity Centre
The project is set in Madina Ladji, Kolda, Senegal, a region chosen for its lack of medical and maternity centers.It aims to create a new maternity center that respects local, cultural and social childbirth practices, emphasizing community and women’s support during childbirth and postpartum.
MASTER PLAN
The center’s architectural design embraces simplicity and functionality, reflecting traditional African village layouts with buildings in a circular arrangement around a central hub.
The design incorporates traditional house shapes with roofs extending to form pergolas and features an impluvium roof tocollect rainwater for reuse. Curved forms in the design symbolize a mother’s womb, emphasizing protection. The project comprises three buildings: a central welcoming area, and a third building for families with bedrooms and common areas.

Park Villa Marino
The project is developed in the center of Besana and seeks to requalify the public space by providing new activities and uses that accommodate different types of population. The project is completed with the transformation and restoration of Villa Marina and the proposal of new modules for the farmers’ market already established on the site.

Innovation Centre
The project is located in the centre of Bogotá, in an industrial area. The complex of buildings on which work is being done is a historical complex that brings together factors of Bogota’s history and republican architectural influence, and is very well connected as it is at the intersection of two regional highways.
INTEGRAL FUNCTIONING
The project is developed under the concept of ‘Integrating’, and this is reflected in the annexed connections to places of public space and recreation, in the openings that the complex has from the interior to the exterior and in the marked axes. The relationships generated with the context make it possible to revitalise the complex and integrate the area. Within the proposal, a space for innovation is developed that, accompanied by complementary activities, offers new experiences and dynamics for the population and the industrial area in general.
