_Projects
Topography, erosion, light, materiality, and memory define the starting point of each project. Before form, there is a condition; before formal intention, a careful reading of the territory.
Each intervention explores the relationship between the built and the natural, understanding the project as an exchange rather than an imposition. The landscape is not a backdrop, but an active agent that moves through space, transforms it, and defines it. Architecture, in turn, inscribes itself within it with precision, seeking a balance between presence and discretion.
Overlaps, shifts, and tensions generate spatial layers that organize movement. Boundaries become porous; interior and exterior enter into resonance. Spaces are not revealed immediately, but discovered progressively through thresholds, variations of light, and changes of scale that construct a sensory experience.
Materiality embraces the passage of time as part of the project. Matter is understood as something living, capable of aging, adapting, and dialoguing with its surroundings. Architecture does not aspire to remain untouched, but to integrate, to transform, to coexist.
Each work is unique because it responds to an unrepeatable condition of time, place, and context. Form is not the origin; it is the consequence of interpreting the visible and invisible forces that inhabit the site.
This project explores an immersive dwelling within the unique landscape of Yakushima. Interpreting the island’s topography and tectonic character, the design establishes a reciprocal relationship between house and forest, allowing each to inhabit the other. Layered forms and shifting volumes create “habitable accidents” that guide movement in resonance with the exterior. A central atrium mediates light and circulation, while materiality embraces erosion and vegetation, fostering a sensory, symbiotic connection with nature.
This urban project acts as a catalyst, breathing new life into an old market and shaping Montevideo’s largest covered public space. It unfolds the neighborhood at multiple scales and rhythms, weaving the urban fabric, generating encounters, and inviting movement, while reinterpreting the city’s memory and everyday life.
Immersed in a pine forest, the project engages delicately with existing trees, creating a dialogue between architecture and nature. Spaces unfold at two scales: an intimate domestic realm framed by a vertical filter, and a broader forest-linked environment beyond. Timber clads the exterior like a living canvas, absorbing light, time, and weather, leaving subtle traces that reveal the passage of seasons. The project seeks a quiet balance, allowing the forest to inhabit the space as much as the architecture inhabits the forest.
