Bellopuerto, seafood restaurant (completed).

Mexico City, 2009

A restaurant located in the center of a gigantic city, aiming to transfer the client into a fresh and spacious environment.

The design will abstract the guests from their current stressful location, towards a more relaxing, beach like space.

Nostalgia is what we want people to feel through certain materials and colors specially chosen to remind us of those great Acapulco days of the seventies.

Hobräu Beer stand for the Oktoberfest (completed)

Mexico City, 2008 and 2009.

An ephemeral design, and 100% effective to bear with the constant and agitated flow of people gathered in one day, every year.

The goal is to sell approximately seven thousand beer bottles in one day.

In terms of function, we decided to create a perfect square in which 3 edges are selling spots, with 4 bar tenders each. The last edge is the back door. Here, the product is received and saved in big ice buckets located in the center, a reachable spot for every bar tender.

Aesthetically, we wanted a “German countryside feeling”, achieved through the use of natural materials like wood and straw bale.

Also, these materials allow the design to be collapsible and therefore, be stored until next year’s fair.

The used bottles are thrown away in big transparent plastic bags located under every counter to create an stand’s image in constant evolution. Thus, all along the day, each side of the square fills with bottles little by little until, the stand isn’t exactly the same as how it started hours before.

Hofbräu, becomes then, one of the most important characters of the play.

Seed bank and private house (Project)

Ameca meca, Mexico, 2009.

A building designed to receive an NGO’s first seed bank, as well as the founder’s house.

It’s a sustainable project, the main character being the seed.

In order to maintain the exact cold temperatures of seed’s storing rooms, we decided to put special care on the building’s water presence.

Here, water, collected from rain, acts as an insulating material, as a security tool, and finally it is more than enough to be used for all the complex’s everyday’s needs.

All the bank’s tasks are organized around a central patio, which serves as a gathering place, as well as a drying spot for seeds. It has a south orientation.

The house, on top of the bank, has a triangular shape to acquire the same aesthetical characteristics as the houses around, with a steep roof to get rid of all the winter’s snow.

The main materials are rammed earth for the ground floor and straw bales for the top.

Cultural Pavillion (under construction)

Los cabos, Mexico, 2008

Competition’s first prize.

A 25 000 sq. meters center designed to commemorate Mexico’s Independence bicentennial anniversary in 2010.

The program includes an auditorium, two movie theatres, a shopping center, an art and dance school, a biodiversity museum, restaurants, and an administrative area.

The plan is composed by three main buildings linked together by a public path, converting the whole complex into a big public space from top to bottom.

The user is able to walk around almost every roof of the project, finding different views of the Baja Californian desert and sea.

Urban plots - Agricultural Research Center (Project)

Mexico City, 2007

Thesis project - First place.

Located in the center of Mexico City, it’s a 100% sustainable project where every level is specially designed to receive the exact amount of sunlight needed for the plantations.

Here, researchers will study the plants’ evolution in the city as well as the different sowing ways.

In the lower level, some of these fruits, vegetables and flowers will be sold in an organic market.

Also, pedestrians will be able to stay for a while and try the different restaurants and market stands in the garden.

The buildin´s exterior is made of ETFE bubbles, with a special regulation design, creating a very accurate insulating system, just like a very sophisticated greenhouse.

Romeo and Juliet stage design (Project)

Madrid, 2010

Master in Stage Design’s final project.

How to design a space able to change several times on stage, without annoying the public, but most important, without losing its attention?

The answer was lighting.

The whole play would take place on a steep cracked land representing the story’s agitated feeling. This folded surface is made out of translucent grey acrylic panels, allowing the installation of different kinds of lighting underneath, and at the same time, creating a solid platform when lit from the top. Thus, the transition between locations can be fast, subtle and precise.

The main lighting tools are fluorescent tubes, each color depending on the space they want to represent. These tubes, not only create an intense color atmosphere, but also a very sharp one, ideal for this tragedy.

Installation for a chemical toilet (project)

Madrid, 2010

Master in Stage Design’s final project.

An installation for a chemical toilet in a natural landscape. The only rule was to maintain its toilet capabilities.

The idea of having a bathroom in a natural environment is quite contradictory, so I decided to create a reflecting wrap around the classic chemical structure. Thanks to this cover, the user would feel surrounded by hints of nature due to the fragmented reflections, and anyone outside, will lose the bathroom’s presence.

The wrapping would be built with several transparent acrylic panels, installed to form a classic dome, so that these different slopes reflect its surroundings as much as possible.

Le Moulin Rouge dance school,

Paris, 2009

Arquitectum Competition.

The main idea of the building is to have a big open ramp connecting all the spaces inside.

The program is organized in a way that any visitor has the opportunity to get a sneak peak of every room while travelling along the ramp.

On ground level we have the main entrance, the administration, as well as both of the shops.

On the midlevels, the user can find the actual dance school and gymnasium.

And on the last two floors, the museum, the cafeteria and the open space are located.

The theatres can be found one level underground.

The museum then becomes the whole building.

Even if all the studios are almost completely surrounded by glass, this is covered by a translucent film, which prevents the room from warming up by sunlight.

The façade is covered by a concrete surface representing the windmill, symbol of the The Moulin Rouge. This surface is also folded in a special way based on its context; thus the dance school is able to merge with Pigalle neighborhood.

As it gets darker at night, the building start acquiring a yellow, red blur, thanks to the special lighting used for the inside spaces, responding to the neighborhood’s nightlife.
