The open space between the Huis van Droo and the elderly home will be used by both the elderly and the children. On the one side, the children of the daycare center will use the space as their playground. On the other side, the elderly people will use it as their garden and terrace. Together we made a plan where individual, simultaneous and common use is made possible and stimulated. We looked for similarities between the smallest children and the elderly. Themes like circuits, safety, overview and coziness are considered in the plan.

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.
