We were asked to design a big house for a family of six members in this incredible lot overlooking the city of Monterrey. With old trees in the area the house was designed around the biggest trees. Big walls detaches the house from the ground respecting nature and leaving great absorption area by allowing water to pass by freely. The internal gardens provide light and natural ventilation to all the house.
Located in Olinalá, the intervention lot has a steep slope and when it rains it gets a fairly amount of water running through. It is full of greenery, big trees and overlooks the city of Monterrey with some really mesmerizing views.

With the intention of relating the plaza with its rich and historical background we decided to make of this place a time capsule, where by walking through it, you could feel and learn about the history of Zacatecas and the plaza itself. Following the radial configuration of this irregular plaza we decided to work this project in a tridimensional way, where we digged different levels in time and space. By adding 360 digital view scopes that will project the different eras of this plaza and the city, this square will become a new attraction for this beautiful colonial city. new attraction for this beautiful colonial city.
Located in Zacatecas downtown, next to the Old Temple of St. Augustin and three blocks away from the Zacatecas Cathedral this square lacks of spirit and urban presence.

Design a profitable corporate building with office spaces of 500 or 1,000 m2. To provide more flexibility in the office spaces the structure is placed outside of the building leaving the interiors free and flexible to suit all types of layouts. Parking is solved using half levels to optimize square meters of construction. The circulation and service spaces of the building are in the east and west facade to protect from sunlight .
Located in a complex of buildings, the property has all the facilities and a great location. To the South it has great views of the Sierra Madre, to the West of the Cerro de la Silla and to the East of the Huasteca Mountains.

Make a proposal to transform the public space where the Multifamily Housing Benito Juarez used to be before the 1985 earthquake damaged it and had to be demolished. It had to include housing, retail and office spaces.
Located on the property that housed the Multifamily Housing Development Benito Juarez by the great modernist architect Mario Pani, this lot has important avenues surrounding it, access to Mexico City's subway and it's close to schools, shops, health facilities and more.

With the intention of respecting the original complex we derived a grid based on the original
buildings, which seeks to optimize the sunlight and existing natural ventilations.
The transition between the two properties that divide the site is achieved through a set of
staggered squares that form a plaza. These spaces provide accommodation to various small
and intimate spaces that will work in an dynamic matter where there will always be life,
movement and interaction.
AA memorial is proposed in the center of the complex. Four monumental murals with the work
of Carlos Merida, which work was present in this development, will now rise where four iconic
buildings used to be. The intervention intends to bring life back to this place and evolve with
this new spatial experience.

In collaboration with Patricio Martinez1st PLACE - Project/Presentation
In this studio/finance class the goal was to create a realistic project of a mixed use building and incorporate all the specialties to achieve an optimal design, a financial plan, and marketing & branding proposals. We focused on designing a building that could really connect to the site and the city.
Situated at the bottom of one of the most exploited mountains in Monterrey the property is conformed generally of a very uniform and soft soil. It's industrial context has a very promising urban sprawl and it's growing and developing rapidly. It has incredible views of the city and it has great access and proximity to the best districts.

THE SHOWROOM
The showroom seeks to bring a whole new experience to the apartment sales. First you get to learn about the site, and history of Monterrey and the zone by your own in spiral # 1. In the Core, you get to see the project with a model of the complex and then a sales assistant catches up to you for the last part of the walk in spiral # 2, where you get to see the amenities and the available units.

CALIZA BRANDING
noun..A common sedimentary rock consisting mostly of calcium carbonate, CaCO3, used as a building stone and in the manufacture of lime, carbon dioxide, and cement.
In a very competitive market I decided to create an identity that would connect the building to the city, the site and its future inhabitants. Something totally new that would distinguish this project immediately, and position it on the top of the current offers.
CALIZA (LIMESTONE)
IDENTITY
The logo is inspired by the abstraction of the layers found and organized within the limestone on the zone.
