DESIGN:
December 2025
An old pub needed to be renovated, creating the business idea, the concept and its design. My idea: A Scottish restaurant cuisine that blends traditional and modern styles. The walls in red with a washed finish, some of them with square wood panels and beams on the ceiling. Stone walls with ivy on the outside and Tudor style windows in the middle of Dundas street.
I was inspired by the colors of a sunset in a Scottish forest, with wood, brown, ochres and golds to create this project. An aged finish design on the walls and an old English style for the details, imitating an abandoned building. The door frames and arches are decorated with patterns. The bathroom walls are hand-painted with murals adding a classic touch to the modern furnishings. For the logo, a red Grouse, a species that only lives in northern of Scotland.
The bar counter is dark red and has vertical wooden panels. It is also decorated with branches.
There is a lamp with small birds made by glass that provide light, and some branches that intertwine with the lights.
The fireplace and some pictures with classic frames add a touch of the old English style that I was looking for.
Exhibition
October 2025
Design an art exhibition at the National Museum of Scotland.Our project was to design an exhibition about a phobia. I was interested in creating an interactive space, with an innovative design at the same time.
The gallery has three different activities, designed for different audiences, and uses virtual reality to project images onto the floor in a Brutalism style.
-Logs on the ground for young people, -A bridge that projects vertigo-inducing images onto the ground for families and senior visitors
-Wave-shaped sections for more intense experiences
A project to design an art gallery with a n extension in an old gunpowder store. Inspired by an architect, and an artist: Kengo Kuma and Barbara Hepworth were my choice to create a model.
We had to create a shop in Victoria street, in the middle of the old town of Edinburgh, and my proposal was a ghost shop, a store that sells ghost pottery.
A gothic inspired place, to cover it with dark vibes. I want to bring this scary energy through the wallpaper, the lamps, … a garnet color with a background drawing, dark wood and a carpeted walkway on the stairs to recreate an old place.
For the packaging: graves, spirit boards and references to “Memento mori” to keep the products, the ghosts.
The lamps helps to create a scenery.
To create a hospitality business, I choose a Mexican restaurant. I was inspired by a corncob for the entire concept: texture, colors and shapes. In the pre-Hispanic Mexico, the corn was not only food, but also the currency of exchange. Chairs shaped like ears of corn, and tables with the same appearance .In the center, to capture the attention, an enormous flower-shaped lamp.
