Tellstrasse, 8
Das Haus an der Tellstrasse 8 in Zürich ist die Hälfte eines Baumeisterhauses von 1887. Die äussere Gestalt des Mehrfamilienhauses wird aufgefrischt und nur im obersten Geschoss angepasst. Die bestehende Dachform erhält einen Ausbau, welcher dieses Geschoss zu einem Vollgeschoss aufwertet. Dieses neu geschaffene Volumen tritt an der Stirnfassade als kronenartiger Abschluss des Gebäudes in Erscheinung.

T - 40
New project in Playa de los alemanes (T-40), Zahara de los Atunes
The project addresses the topological deformation of vernacular construction, focusing on the evolution of traditional Mediterranean architectural archetypes centered around the patio. Designed to manage the eastern wind, Levante, the house features a Southwest-facing envelope with reduced porosity towards the Northwest. The roof is shaped to follow the wind flow, ensuring the protection of the living patio.

Facinas
Finished basic project of Campamento Facinas
The project on the outskirts of Facinas, Cádiz, is situated between two protected natural parks near the Atlantic coast. It features a rural campsite with minimal living units spread across 1 Ha of land. The rise of ecotourism fosters environmental preservation and outdoor activities, presenting an alternative to mass tourism. Facinas offers excellent opportunities for bird-sighting, climbing, windsurfing, kitesurfing, and diving. The project aims to restore and reactivate two historical XV-century hydraulic flour mills on the site, transforming them into cultural facilities to revitalize local culture and economy. The design emphasizes minimal environmental impact, utilizing local vegetation and materials like wood and heather branches for construction. The cabins are designed with concave walls and integrated functional areas, ensuring energy efficiency through optimal thermodynamic regulation.
