Better lifestyle through Design

My work looks for the balance between art, technology and Nature. In every project I seek to create unique architecture that fulfils the needs of the client and remains current through time.

I strive to maximize the opportunity that the site has to offer and create a dialogue with the forces of Nature.

My design philosophy is rooted in the development of ideas that are powerful, distinctive and relevant to the specifics of both the program and the context. Each design is shaped by the characteristics of the site.

My work is about experiencing spaces, being touched by the harmony of proportions, natural light, views and textures. NATURE is my biggest referent.

I believe in the seamless integration of design and construction either by being in charge of the construction or creating a symbiotic relation with the builder throughout the process. The transition from the conceptual design ideas to reality is when the “magic” happens and it is when the architect’s eye is most needed.

My work is based on a detail-oriented team process and almost daily site visits, having to think like an artist when designing and like an engineer when detailing. This gives me the opportunity to be more ambitious with the design ideas and keeps the building process smoother, on schedule and budget.
