I understand architecture and urbanism as tools for social transformation. I have a strong interest in participatory design, collective housing, and sustainability. I seek to involve myself in projects that promote equitable and accessible spaces.

Fascicles on urban life and disruptions derived from urban interventions. Developed by the Observatorio En Ruta alongside the Caracol Urbano collective to generate knowledge and collective neighbor action through fieldwork and forums.
Modular strategy for existing structures applied in the San Ignacio neighborhood (Bilbao)as prototype research. It is focused on 1960s housing that does not fit modern habitability requirements, based on criteria of economy, flexibility, and ease of use.
A residential building project for young people. The building responds to the alignment sorrounding streets and integrates the historical route of the Camino de Santiago. It is decomposed into two structural bolumes to optimize sunlight, creating a central courtyard to be used by building users and that acts as a transition between outdoor natural spaces and indoor spaces.

As with most comprehensive renovations, the premise of this project was to solve persistent habitability issues and adapt the construction to the owner's specific needs. The primary challenge was the constant humidity within the walls—a problem caused by an adjacent street at a higher elevation that no previous intervention had been able to resolve.
We decided to take simple, strategic actions that turned this technical problem into the project's defining character. First, we stripped away the multiple finishes and sealants from the original brick. By eliminating these temporary barriers, we allowed the walls to breathe and the moisture to take its natural course toward the interior.
To manage this environment, we offset all furniture from the affected facades and installed a continuous indoor planter. This lush vegetation, paired with a new overhead skylight, naturally regulates the homeʼs ambient humidity while flooding the space with natural light.
The spatial logic was further refined by relocating the bathroom, which originally blocked the only existing facade and limited ventilation. The new bathroom now functions as a centralized core that organizes the home by privacy levels, separating the bedroom on one side from the kitchen, dining area, and terrace on the other. The resulting design fosters a seamless, living relationship between the

The renovation of this 65 m² apartment was driven by the clients' desire to create an open and bright home designed for a couple who enjoys hosting gatherings. The core strategy focused on maximizing the buildingʼs orientation and natural light, dismantling the rigid "hallway-cell" layout to recover space from dark corridors and generate a continuous, fluid living area. By reducing the current program to a home for two, the design fully leverages every square meter to provide a profound sense of spaciousness that the original structure lacked.
Natural light now flows transversally through the home, breaking the physical limits of the original rooms and connecting the social areas. A bespoke carpentry element—a partition integrating salvaged fluted glass—acts as an architectural filter between the public and private zones, offering privacy without sacrificing the newfound openness. The master bedroom is strategically tucked into the quietest area, freeing the most prominent, sun-drenched spaces for daily life and social interaction.
While the current layout celebrates open-plan living, the project is technically and spatially prepared for future life scenarios. The distribution and installations were carefully planned to allow for the seamless addition of a second bedroom if needed, ensuring that the home can evolve alongside its inhabitants without losing its essential character of light and fluidity.
