Project Name: COLIVING MATADERO

Master’s thesis IED

Location: Madrid

Date: 2023

In my Master’s thesis project for the Interior Design program at IED, I address a significant issue in Spain: 57.3% of the population experiences unwanted loneliness, with consequences amounting to an annual cost of 14 million euros due to health problems.

Furthermore, overcrowding and gentrification in cities like Madrid make finding decent housing a challenge. As a solution, I propose the design of a Coliving space in the heart of Madrid’s Matadero, offering both short and long-term accommodation. This space will foster meaningful connections and healthy social relationships, addressing these issues.

EXTERIOR VIEW OF THE COLIVING FACILITIES

COLIVING MATADERO

Exterior view of the kitchen-dining area. Residents have generous space where they can enjoy shared lunches or even cook together. Additionally, they have a lovely outdoor garden where they can enjoy fresh air breakfasts.

Access to the main hall. It features a spacious common area, furnished with designer pieces, such as the Ekstrem modular armchair, Pipistrello lamp, or the Groovy armchairs.

COLIVING MATADERO

The common area for long-term residents features a striking spiral staircase, notable for its color, leading to the library area.

The coliving space is divided by large walls of paving stones that allow natural light to enter. Iconic design pieces are incorporated, such as the Maralunga armchair or the Standing Lamp No. 1.

COLIVING MATADERO

Short-stay common area. Here, coliving residents staying for shorter periods can enjoy their time together.

Furniture items like the Togo armchair or the Standard stool by Jean Prouvé are notable highlights.

Isometric view of a residential unit designed for short stays, equipped with all the basic necessities. Inspired by the modular architecture of Jean Prouvé, it features circular windows, evoking the efficiency and aesthetic of his designs.

A central fixture hosts the restroom area while offering storage space. The front wall made of paving stones allows ample natural light, fostering a cozy and luminous ambiance.

RUM RUM BREAD & COFFEE

Project Name: RUM RUM BREAD & COFFEE

IED Master Workshop with DIIR

Studio

Location: Madrid

Date: 2022

The workshop project with DIIR Studio involved designing a bakery/ café in the center of Madrid. The main feature was the incorporation of a central piece that housed all essential functions of the establishment. To achieve this, a notably sized piece was chosen, clad in yellow tiling that contrasted with the micro-cement used on the walls and floor of the premises. This combination of materials and design reflected the attention to detail and aesthetic focus of the project, resulting in the creation of a unique and memorable space.

AEG Kitchens Contest.

Location: Madrid

Date: 2024

Designed for the AEG Kitchens Contest, this project showcases a fully equipped kitchen, specifically tailored to meet the needs of a couple. The combination of materials plays a central role in the kitchen’s aesthetic: warm, natural wood contrasts elegantly with the marble used on the countertop. This contrast creates a balance between rustic and modern, adding a touch of sophistication to the space. Additionally, wood is not limited to just the furniture but also extends vertically along the wall, creating a sense of continuity and harmony in the design.

MODEL DESIGN

Project name: Space design through model

IED Master’s Practical Area

Location: Madrid Date: 2023

Design of a sewing workshop through a laser-cut model for the practical area of the Master’s in Interior Design at the European Institute of Design (IED). This model reflects meticulous attention to every detail of the space, considering both functionality and aesthetics. From the layout of workstations to the choice of materials, every aspect was carefully planned to create an environment that fosters creativity and productivity in the art of sewing.
