  • CASA DE PUNTA FLAMENCO

    A beach house perched on a bluff on the island of Culebra, located off the coast of Puerto Rico, originally conceptualized as a container home through hand drafting. The design evolved into a modern cantilevered structure with angled windows oriented towards the ocean, capturing stunning views. The open-concept plan incorporates pivot glass doors and screens, allowing natural ventilation and an airy atmosphere. The overall design comprises angled volumes that manipulate light and shadow, effectively tempering heat from the sun.

  • SOLIDARITY

    In the endeavor to reinvent the National City Mile of Cars, the concept of solidarity takes center stage as a guiding principle for architectural intervention. Solidarity, epitomizing the psychological cohesion among individuals with shared interests, finds expression through a monumental strategic architectural strategy. Utilizing a sloped solid mass structure, the proposal seeks to provide communal spaces fostering social, cultural, and recreational activities, thus accentuating the notion of solidarity.

  • MOSAIQUE SANCTUARY

    This proposal imagines a community focused on promoting support mechanisms for transitional families and the unhoused. Experiential moments intentionally reflect the transformative journey of individuals from a state of uncertainty to one of security and stability as they progress towards being housed.

STREETS OF SPAIN

Street corridors in Spain showcase an effective urban grid that advanced connectivity to public spaces. This design supports a colorful street life, making social and community interaction an integral part of daily life.

DESCRIPTIVE GEOMTERY

Embarking on an exploration of architectural representation, this study engages diverse techniques for capturing and modeling design concepts. Advancing from initial two-dimensional assessments to intricate three-dimensional forms, it aims to establish effective communication standards for conveying architectural visions. At its core lies an architectural articulation of the controlled geometries found in altering envelopes. Through this comprehensive analysis, this project investigate the interplay of shadow, color dynamics, and spatial depth, thus enriching discourse on architectural visualization methodologies
