1. International Airport of El Salvador
El Salvador • 13,755 m2 • Urbanism • 2022
To drive the El Salvador development, an International Airport will be established, providing global access to the new city "Bitcoin City" and serving as a symbol of modernity for the country. Inside the project I worked making renderings, models and diagrams.
Iconic Main Terminal
The main Terminal will be provide an annual capacity to handle up to one million passengers, with ample space designed for efficient passenger and baggage processing, this include all essential spaces where passengers and staff interact.
The design enables the placement of solar panels on the roof, while still allowing natural light into the interior. This approach combines passive strategies, such as natural lighting and ventilation, with a highly energy - efficient, enveloping roof structure.
My responsibilities within the project included creating 3D models for eventual render representation, along with producing books, architectural diagrams and plans.
2. Floating Cabin
Mexico City • 170 m2 • Hotel • 2024
At Shem Creative Studio, we were commissioned to redesign the typical triangular cabin into a more minimalist and elegant form, transforming it into a sculptural piece that harmonizes the natural surroundings.
An intimate look inside cabin
The Floating Cabin features a stunning curtain wall that offers views o f the exterior, complemented by a skylight that provides a glimpse of the sky and stars.
​
The interior design features a soothing beige color palette that enhances the cabin’s comfort, complemented by metallic details that add an elegant touch.
In the project, I collaborated on designing the cabin's form and developing the model for the subsequent creation of drawings and renders. I also participated in the interior design drawing inspiration of Japandi and Scandinavian style.
3. Bitcoin City
El Salvador • 14 km2 • Urbanism • 2022
On 2021, President Nayib Bukele announced the creation of Bitcoin City in El Salvador. A new city aimed at driving new economic development. When I worked in Fr•ee, I contributed to creating conceptual diagrams and developing renders.
14 km2 and
210, 000 people
Bitcoin City is an ambitious project that seeks not only to create an innovative and modern metropolis based on cryptocurrency but also to build a sustainable and equitable city.
At the center of the new metropolis, and as the heart of the city, will be Bitcoin Plaza. This will be the first point of attraction. In the Plaza, there will be a museum on the history of money, detailing the emergence and significant moments in Bit coin’s development.
4. Roger Waters Institute
Mexico City • 1,700 m2 • Education • 2019
Based on musician Roger Waters’ criticism of the educational system for preparing students only to be another member of society. In response, this proposal is a school where the spaces are planned to stimulate the identity of students and schools.
Another Brick in the Wall
The song critiques rigid, oppressive education systems that suppress individuality, promoting conformity and control instead of creativity, critical thinking, and personal expression.
The school’s terrace design fosters a human centered educational system that seamlessly integrates indoor and outdoor environments, encouraging active participation and a deeper connection to learning.
In this project, I worked as a part of a duo team, my contributions included elaboration of a detailed 3D model, renders and diagrams to present the concept.
