An environmentally friendly architectural design that incorporates a series of terraces descending the slope, providing unobstructed views of the Pacuare River and its unspoiled surroundings.

By following the natural slope of the land, the project achieves a floating effect, optimizing its exposure to cooling northwest breezes and providing stunning vistas of the Valle de Occidente. The design incorporates a variety of passive strategies, including sunshades, blinds, and vegetation, to create a comfortable and inviting space for physical activities.

Following the building's typology, a public space opens up to a central garden, acting as a transition into the constructed environment. The spatial arrangement mirrors the west facade of the Plaza de la Libertad de Expresión. Furthermore, the building incorporates workshop spaces that will be utilized by the Municipality of Montes de Oca for youth programs and cultural events, alongside commercial ventures. 9

tres equis eco lodge
Situated in Tres Equis, Turrialba, this architectural proposal is designed to seamlessly integrate into the lush Caribbean rainforest. By incorporating a series of terraced levels that follow the natural contours of the land, the design offers stunning views of the Pacuare River. Moreover, the project places a strong emphasis on sustainability, utilizing local materials and adopting a design aesthetic that minimizes its visual impact on the surrounding environment.

co-vive hispano
The project is inspired by the way urban public space is used in Central America, with a focus on creating inviting pedestrian routes. The ongoing reclamation of inner-city blocks to offer respite from the busy sidewalks of capital cities often leads to the emergence of vibrant spaces for social interaction, economic activity, and community gatherings, all characteristic of the Latin American experience.

co-vive hispano
Conceived as a dignified resettlement initiative, this project caters to a lower-middle-class migrant community, providing a space to live (Co-Living), produce collectively (Co-Working), and showcase and sell their creations (Workshop & Market), all within the same location. Co-Vive Hispano serves as a hub for encuentro, the sale, and exhibition of Hispanic American cultural materials, highlighting San José's true image as a regional cultural destination.
