SENIOR LIVING CENTER 01
Geriatric Civic Center
A project that preserves and enhances a historic manor house as the focal point and activity hub. Surrounding clusters integrate different functions while maintaining cohesion.
Integration & Design
Preservation of existing trees.
Focal Point: Manor as the core element.
Topography: Natural slopes define program levels
Transition Spaces: Outdoor areas along the pathway invite the community to gather and enjoy the surroundings.
Universal Accessibility
Inclusive Design: Walkable, user-friendly spaces with ramps, wide corridors, and elevators.
Integrated Design
Harmonious Transition: New buildings blend seamlessly with the manor and natural setting, creating a smooth dialogue between old and new.

MODULAR HOUSE
TOTAL: 101.25M2 + 16.875M2 (Pasillo Exterior) = 118.125M2
The project consists of a modular house composed of five modules. The construction uses SIP panels (Structural Insulated Panels), a technology that combines two outer layers of OSB (Oriented Strand Board) with an EPS (Expanded Polystyrene) core, providing high structural strength and excellent thermal insulation.
Project Features
Modularity: Fast, efficient construction
SIP Technology: Thermal insulation, moisture & insect resistance
Integrated Systems: Concealed pipes/ cables within panels
Energy Efficiency: Low energy use
Construction Details
Floor: SIP panels on concrete slab. Walls: Vertical SIP panels with reinforced joints.
Roof: SIP panels on beams, airtight envelope
SECONDARY CARE HOSPITAL 03
This hospital project emphasizes natural ventilation, daylight, and gathering spaces to enhance the well-being of patients, staff, and visitors. Beyond meeting functional requirements, the design seeks to create a healing environment through contact with nature and areas for rest and reflection.
MIXED-USE BUILDING 04
This project, located at Cristo Redentor Avenue and 4th Ring in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, features an organic design that adapts to the site’s geometry with curved podium entrances, perimeter balconies, and a contrasting rectangular crown. Sustainable strategies include a double-skin façade, cascading vegetation, solar panels, vertical gardens, and low-carbon materials, all aimed at reducing energy demand, improving comfort, and integrating the building with its context.
