Two interwoven and intersected wings, centered around the circulation core, form the conceptual proposal for this single-family house. Due to its location, the design aimed to achieve optimal orientation (east-west) and maximize views towards the garden while distancing itself from roads to ensure user privacy. The wings are proposed in stone materials, aiming for a monolithic effect in their solidity, with openings created by carving into this solid for integration. Conversely, the adjacent wall introduces a play of planes and materials to reduce its massiveness.

Single-family house, in which we sought integration with the local context through materiality. The client requested the ability to accommodate their entire family when they come to visit, which is why we started with a central amenities space, later dividing the house into two wings to scale down this over 1000m2 residence. On the left, there are the basic and service areas, as well as the owners' room. Leaving the right wing for guest rooms, which, when unoccupied, do not disrupt the daily life of the residence.

Horacio 112 proposes a different housing typology by sharing various spaces such as service areas, cleaning facilities, kitchen, as well as different amenities for both leisure and work. These spaces aim to provide users with more interaction in their daily lives within the building. Volumetrically, the design seeks to enhance the conditions offered by the corner lot. Through a copper envelope that defines the terraces of the 77 residences, the design emphasizes a double height in the common areas of the building, achieved by a reverse fold in the same envelope.

Proposal for an extreme amusement park based on the Mayan worldview, considering the organization of various programs and the placement of the roofs that house the activities. The conceptual idea is to create a set of residences with perforations for the passage of light, generating the centroid of each space. Rustic materials such as wood and palm are the main components of this proposal.

Educational
Competition for an educational building, serving as a center of studies rooted in corn culture. The southern region of Mexico was proposed as its location, and through regional architecture and materiality, the construction of a school in one of the poorest areas of the country was envisioned. This region is severely affected by significant floods. The school comprises volumes suspended above the ground, enabling it to withstand the natural disasters of the area while still providing services to nearby communities.
