A large part of the site is reserved for water. The landscape will change along with the water level. We used this dynamic to create a new interesting public space in the heart of the whole neighborhood. Our proposal integrates the development of 54 new houses with sustainable water management. By building more compact on the higher side of the location, extra space for water and public domain is created on the lower side. The access is organized through a new bridge over the water landscape. A compact apartment building is attached to the bridge.

I have always been an aesthete, critical and curious person, which led me to the interest of how Architecture impacts on people’s daily lives.
The obsession with simplifying complex processes in order to achieve a recognizable solution that applies naturally across the different scales of a project, has come to define my practice. These solutions weave together efficiency, sustainability, comfort, and identity for the end user.
After completing my university studies, I moved to the Netherlands with a scholarship from Fundación Arquia to work at MVRDV. I later returned to Spain, where I worked as an independent architect and contributed to a project on the coast.
Back in the Netherlands, I worked on large-scale projects at EEA; and with a clearer vision of my professional goals, I decided to join Woonwerk Architecten, where I continue to develop my career.
In addition to my professional work, I participate in volunteer activities that allow me to experience firsthand life in residential care centres that offer rehabilitation services, cognitive stimulation, and medical care.
I am committed to sharing and promoting my experience at both a local and international level.
