first architecture project
shuffle
A personal design concept of a residential apartment building wherein the neighbour’s roof is your terrace
The boundary curve of the plot defines a rail for the rotation of the units, said rotation shuffles every three stories, this effect produces larger terraces on the corner units, making them larger than the rest
The ground floor houses stores and a public plaza for a better interface with the bustling nature of the city center and still reserves space inside for the lobby
The condominial program for gatherings and the relaxation of residents is located on the attic, which has a clear view of the many public spaces around town
120 Hours is an anual competition with the challenge of designing a project in 5 days.
The 2024 edition proposed a museum for Andorra, a city at the frontier of both France and Spain.
The demands were kept largely vague, freeing the participant up to employ whatever program, scale and structure they so chose. The exception being the obligation to include temporary and permanent exposition rooms.
A house designed for the family “Andrade”, a fictitious family created for the process of the class.
In the class the students were tasked with creating characters for which our classmates would design. For the project in question, I was tasked to design for a family with a baker for a mother, a trucker for a father, a med student for a daughter and they had periodic visits from their extended family.
On this first experience with architecture there was the oportunity of dealing with the professional environment present in the family’s daily life.

weefor ARQ
Second Place for the third open national architecture competition for the developer Weefor
This competition was for the design of an apartment building with a set of demands: A single core for vertical circulation, a percentage of private area that equaled 11 units per floor, natural ventilation for master suite bathrooms, the placement of a store on the ground floor, a set of condominial programs with pre-defined areas as well as a consideration as to the connection between the current and future competition developments, due to the fact that the next would have the neighbouring plot as its placement.
Shared Project
Location: Curitiba, Brazil
Applicant’s Contribution: Concept design team, modelling, unit design team, sections and diagrams
Softwares Used: ArchiCAD
natural ventilation
for natural ventilation the units were moduled on the presumption that there would be a rift between each one, where windows would be located
connections
an internal garden and ramps connect the current plot to the next development, just as a public square connects the project to the urban tissue. there is also natural ventilation for the underground garage, connecting it to the outside
insolation and water reuse
every unit receives natural sunlight, and the attic is equipped with a set solar panels. rainwater was to be collected on the attic’s roof and to be transferred to the underground garage for storage and reuse on the building
synthesis
all these decisions culminated on an L-shaped tower that opens itself for a public square and the next competition development
Each atom of that stone, each mineral flake of that night filled mountain, in itself forms a world. The struggle itself toward the heights is enough to fill a man’s heart. One must imagine Sisyphus happy
