01 about
I am an independent architect based in Barcelona, with a background shaped by international education at the Manchester School of Architecture and La Salle – Universitat Ramon Llull, where I completed the habilitating Master’s Degree in Architecture. Over the past five years, I have collaborated on a range of architectural projects within multidisciplinary teams, developing a design approach rooted in contextual awareness and technical precision.
What I do
I work independently and in collaboration with architecture studios on:
-
Architectural collaboration — drawings and documentation for basic and executive projects
-
Concept design and visual communication — diagrams, hand drawings, project narratives, 3D models, and working renders
-
Residential renovation consulting — design concepts, material and furniture selection, and small-scale interventions
My work focuses on passive design strategies, interventions in existing buildings, and architecture that engages in meaningful dialogue with its surroundings—bridging people, place, and nature through thoughtful, responsive solutions. I combine hand drawing with digital tools to explore and communicate design ideas, blending tactile intuition with technical accuracy throughout my creative process.
I believe in the power of hand drawing and clear diagrams to tell the story of a project, making architecture easier to understand and more accessible. These tools are not only part of my creative method, but also a way to clarify ideas, invite participation, and connect people with the spaces we imagine and build.
