Type of Project: Exhibition Spaces
Location: Panamá
Software: Autocad
In collaboration with Parque Explora, El Taller de Arquitectos developed the architectural plans for the Panama Canal for the visitor center Miraflores , focusing on the lobby and exhibition rooms. As a contributor on a team of five professionals, I designed custom benches and assisted in producing detailed architectural drawings for the construction package. I specified material finishes and provided precise dimensions to ensure accuracy and adherence to the design vision. My role involved active communication with the team to discuss design concepts and revisions.

Alongside the entrance hall, the development of the exhibitions spaces were proposed by the team, integrating by the double height two rooms in different floors. Possibilities, is a room that showcases the digital graphic history of the Panama Canal. I was tasked with developing the construction package by providing details, modulation of material and specifications and contributing to design choices.
Type of Project: Healthcare contest
Location: Pereira, Colombia
Software: Revit, Illustrator
In the 36,000 m² healthcare complex project in Pereira, Risaralda, designed to serve 60,000 hospital visitors annually, I played a crucial role as part of a collaborative team of fifteen healthcare architects and professionals. This project was recognized as one of four finalists from 19 proposals for its innovative design and urban integration. My primary contribution involved creating visual representations of diagrams that effectively communicated key design decisions for the jury presentation by demonstrating the different workflows for the ICU’s.

Type of Project: Residential
Location: Tabio, Colombia
Software: Revit, Lumion
This single-family residence reinterprets the traditional gable roof by seamlessly extending the brick into the roofing structure. Designed for a private client, the layout separates public and private spaces along a central axis, enhancing privacy for a vacation home with future full-time potential. As part of a four-person team, I created the plan package for client presentations, developed detailed millwork drawings, collaborated on accessory selections, and produced high-quality renderings to effectively communicate the design vision and meet the client's needs.
Team: Obra Negra Arquitectos Colombia, Medellín.
The L-shaped design of the building effectively separates private and public spaces, ensuring both noise and visual privacy within the home. Each room is oriented to capture views of the surrounding countryside, promoting an abundance of natural light and ventilation. This thoughtful arrangement fosters a seamless integration with the landscape, creating a harmonious balance between indoor comfort and the natural environment.
In this residential project, the bathroom showcases a seamless blend of aesthetics and functionality. Custom cabinetry, carefully selected materials, and high-end finishes create a cohesive design. Precise construction drawings ensured accuracy for fixtures and plumbing, resulting in a sophisticated, practical space that reflects both elegance and attention to detail within the home’s overall design.

Type of Project: Renovation
Location: Medellín, Colombia
Software: Revit & InDesign
This apartment renovation focused on integrating the kitchen and dining areas, removing walls to create an open layout, and designing custom millwork throughout. The project also included modifications to the main bathroom, ceiling, and social spaces with custom furniture solutions. I detailed the designs of the custom millwork and created construction drawings for the project and include material selection. Additionally, I prepared presentation materials for client meetings, supporting the senior architects by ensuring accurate communication of the design vision.
Team: Obra Negra Arquitectos. Colombia, Medellín.
The proposal focuses on transforming the existing layout by creating a more open, cohesive floor plan. In the social areas, the design removes dividing walls to establish an open-concept layout, with custom-made millwork defining the new kitchen space. In the private areas, tailored millwork solutions enhance functionality and aesthetic appeal. A 3D comparison between the existing and proposed layouts highlights these changes, showcasing the seamless integration of custom cabinetry in both private and social spaces for a modernized, efficient design.
The intervention plan includes recovering the balcony, integrating the kitchen and dining room, removing dividing walls, rethinking storage spaces, and modifying the ceiling across the house Adjustments are proposed for door systems, bathroom expansion, and furniture design. In the bedrooms, space optimization is suggested through reconfiguring closets and repurposing secondary room furniture.
