The process of materialization.
The root of poetry.
Not just another house, but the creation of a Home.Modern humans spend the majority of their lives in a building, with estimates indicating 90% of our total time. I am therefore strongly convinced that being able to live in beauty, peace and to have a connection to natural elements are fundamentals to our mind and soul.The research field of neuroarchitecture underpins this importance. Through carefully designed spaces, a clever usage of natural light and integrating a warm materials palette, I strive to give form to this essence.The Spanish word ‘Hogar’ translates to the emotional, familial, and warm feeling associated with one’s own Home, as well as the word for a hearth.
Every inhabited place carries an age-old identity, of which architecture has always been a direct representative. I am strongly opposed to the generic design of buildings that strips our villages and cities of identity, detail and the human scale.I therefore advocate a contemporary architecture that integrates itself as a mediator of its surroundings, as a distinctive bridge between old and new, culture and nature. An architecture that does not succumb to nostalgia nor trends, but recognises that true sustainability is found in the timeless.The Latin term ‘genius loci’ translates as the spirit of a place.
Buying, building or renovating a home are often the most expensive investments we make during our entire life. As a result, the process can cause a fair amount of worry and stress.With a long history of social engagement, people’s well-being always comes first for me. It is the architect’s responsibility to foster consensus amongst all parties involved ánd to create genuine added value through architecture. I therefore take great care to guide people through the process, taking their wishes and budget into account, so that everything proceeds safely and with confidence.
