Collective Housing

The idea of the project arises as an exchange between vegetation, architecture and inhabitants, connecting all of them as a great symbiotic organism, in which the pedestrian has priority rather than the vehicle to strengthen the proposal for community life. Nature shapes the design of the project from the implementation of orchards, ramps in the ground and buried housing typologies, implementation of a relationship of the project with nature. The heights and scale of the immediate context are also taken into account for the proposal of typologies of homes and commercial premises.

Blend of Architecture & Fun

intersection of art, architecture and nature. I seek to humanize the way we see architecture, creating a personal and close bond to exploit our creative side. In this way, my work parallels the multiple layers of perception involved in the experience of architectural space. I hope to reveal something more spontaneous and enjoyable, drawing attention to the ways that we construct the world by looking at it.
