PROJECT: Restaurant
DATE: 2010
LOCATION: Isla Dorada – Maracaibo –
Venezuela
LAND PLOT: 1.835,58 m2
IMPORTANT FACTS
Isla Dorada (Golden Island) is a place
conceived by man.
Something very characteristic of that area,
is the communication route (Bridges) that
connect the three parts of the island.
This area is currently undergoing a
process of urbanization, so that in the
future can integrate completely to the
activities of Maracaibo City.

4. This Restaurant Design is based on the
integration and close connection
between nature and the building itself
(Integration of dualities). Since this
proposal is located in a land created by
man in the Maracaibo lake, the
objective was to integrate the nature in
this architectural proposal.
The intention to unite different basic
shapes (curves, straight lines , angles,
etc) is to try to manipulate the perception
of the observer by changing in a subtle
way the shape of the building by
proposing this game of forms.
Also by using different angles in the roof
of the building, the spaces gain different
spatial qualities that generate dynamism
and allow natural light and the context to
infiltrate the building by removing the
barriers that usually exist between the
outside and the inside.

7. •PORTFOLIO
This house was born from a module,
which was repeated to create a rhythm
to make it seem that the house had
movement. This module was the same
in terms of area but each one had
different heights at the beginning and at
the end, to give the impression that
the house opens in one of the facades.
The topography was also modified so it
could that the same design apply to the
house, could be incorporated to the
land lot by creating different levels.
As for the design of the land lot it can
be said, that the distribution of the trees
was made with the purpose of uniting
all parts of the house by creating the
illusion that the entire land is the house

LAND LOT: 4.500,00 m2
IMPORTANT FACTS.
The land lot where this proposal takes
place is surrounded by buildings of the
residential nature, with one exception
being the theatre “Bellas Artes”, all of this
buildings have the characteristic of being
high.

10. •PORTFOLIO
The proposal seeks to create a place of a
civic and plural nature. An open space: a
new public place for the city.
Being this a proposal for a local library
the real question was, how to create a
building that has an open relationship with
public spaces?, but at the same time
creating the introspective and private
spaces that a library should offer to the
users.
Internally the building creates a patio /
square, which is the most important space
and visual of the building, surrounded by a
distinctly urban environment.

PROJECT: Hotel
DATE: 2011
LOCATION: Av. Bella Vista
Maracaibo – Venezuela
LAND PLOT: 4.443,02 m2
IMPORTANT FACTS: This land lot is
an open space in the middle of the
city surrounded by buildings that
don not have significant height,
which gives the opportunity to create
a building that can become a
symbol and a reference point.

13. The Design Concept of this Hotel was to
create a diverse and dynamic building
in a context surrounded by an
architecture that lacks movement.
In the inside of this Hotel, we can
observe how the spaces and the design
of the floor plans represent that change
and dynamism of the concept by
creating different angles and breaking
with the stereotype of the 90° walls.
As for the project structure we can
observe how the different floors spin
around a core that keeps everything
together and generates a hierarchy in the
design.
The building offers different spaces from
public areas to an infinity pool,
playground, restaurant, gym, ballroom,
meeting rooms, with different views of the
city in each floor and a background of
the Maracaibo Lake

CONCATENATED CITY

15. ITYCONCATENATED
The concatenated city sets out to counteract the contrast generated between the concentrated and the
void, the chaos created by the absence of control, the overflowing occupation of natural and protected
areas, the unbalanced of the urban equipment, plus a growing city with a misperception of its coastline

16. •PORTFOLIO
This Design aims to connect the city
through natural and artificial networks
(roads and glens) proposed
hierarchically: concatenated Axis (North-
South), a Linker axis (East-West), a
bond (Secondary) and Natural Unions
(glens) , this last one generates a
structure of green and public spaces
designed to unite and become part of
the daily life of the habitants, reflecting
their needs, customs and way of life.
All of the above creates a city that is
balanced in its activities and
equipments, creating new links that
arise from the intersection of axes, the
hierarchy of these links will depend of
the hierarchy of the axes connecting,
and whose function will be set
depending on the deficiencies of
equipments and industry needs In the
area.
This is a methodology is adapted to a
particular area of study, and is born as
a urban model.

PROJECT: Vertical – Multi Family
House.
DATE: 2012.
LOCATION: Av 22D – C/100 A.
LAND LOT: 5.410,11 m2.
IMPORTANT FACTS:
The need to relocate and adapt the way
of live of the families that use to life in a
single story house.

19. This building and its design responds to the
different scales and heights that are
present in the area.
This design meets the needs of users and
habitants, as they are people who have a
close relationship between them.
This building and it´s concept allowed to
develop inside the building a common
space where they can continue their
customs (porches, and open spaces
where they can coexist).
This porches sometimes can be read as a
terrace, allowing users to generate a
diverse place where everyone can re-
create the activities previously carried out
on the porch of their single house.
As a relevant characteristic we find that the
building has two different functions, aside
from housing, which are a commercial area
and a public space.

LAND LOT: 5.112,10 m2
IMPORTANT FACTS:
The land lot where this proposal is place,
has a topography, that has a 8m level
variation. Because of this, has the
characteristic of being divided in two: a
flat area, and a an area where we find
the topography changes.
Also this Design Proposal is part of the
Urban proposal of a Concatenated City

The high cost of housing construction
leads to certain alternatives such as the
incorporation of progressivity in the
housing scheme work.
This design proposal aims to create an
alternative progressive housing growth
that balance the productivity, self -
construction, flexibility and planning to help
solve the housing shortage in Venezuela.
Frame progressive housing is a proposal
that poses the succession of volumes,
each volume place strategically in relation
to the previous volume position within a
common structure, leading to changes at
each propose and plan gowning stage.
This proposal is based on "accepting the
intervention of people, allowing changes
throughout time, and proposing an
architecture that is able to separate what
remains of what is capable of changing".
This structure is designed to withstand the
changes of each growing phase.

FRAME PROGRESSIVE
HOUSING
These Frame Housing as the name
implies are “viewers” with a clear physical
boundaries, these houses are born from
the need to visually connect the internal
space of the house with the context.
The space generated by the four
elements of the framework will be livable
and will serve as an intermediary
between the inside the house and context
As a result we have a design scheme
that poses the possibility of increasing the
construction square feet by improving
their standards and creating a housing
proposal that can go from a space for
three people to a house able to have
enough space for thirteen people, also
with this design scheme this housing
proposal for a single family can evolve to
a multifamily housing.
This frame housing is diverse enough to
achieve eight different housing proposals
