Floating Connection
iF Design Award  Winner 2022
Interior Architecture/Residential




A private gym for the homeowners, a guesthouse for their visitors—a sanctuary of lightness and form, perfectly attuned to the rhythms of family life. A garden pavilion that seems to float above the lawn, effortlessly suspended between earth and sky.

Its interiors shift with the moment, offering solitude or connection as desired. The façade opens wide, dissolving boundaries between movement and nature, allowing training to unfold beneath the open sky. For guests, soft-drawn curtains transform the space into a secluded retreat, a haven of quietude and rest.

Hovering in the in-between—between spaces, between motion and stillness, exertion and repose—this pavilion is both weightless and rooted, an airy threshold between home and horizon.

Casa de Mayo


Ocean, wind and earth are unrelenting forces. They can also be your best allies through design. Minimal luxuries erect this house through a terrain riddled by trees, caressing its lower end with the soft wave stream of the white seashores of El Flor beach in El Salvador.

From the time you enter the front door, the whisper of the wind will drag you through trees and open decks all along the narrow 12x80 meter field. Instead of interfering with the magnetic forces of the sea, this house graciously directs visitors through a pleasant tour through earth and water.

Wack Group Corporate Restaurant
Interior Design

The Wack Group, a family-run company specializing in care and cleaning products, has created a vibrant corporate campus in Ingolstadt. I was responsible for the design concept, 3D development, and materials concept for the staff restaurant, which serves as a dynamic hub where employees from all departments connect.

With seating for up to 40 in the café and flexible zones ranging from intimate tables to a large 30-seat setup, the space fosters collaboration and versatility. Design elements like herringbone tiles and acoustic grids reflect Wack’s precision, while a yellow-green glass pane, reminiscent of soap, separates the café from the restaurant. Adaptable for various uses, it’s a space where the whole company comes together.

In Summer 2013, my mom and I decided to team up in the klinka project and enter into El Salvador’s biennial furniture and product design contest Contempo being chosen as one of the 10 finalists. Since then our work has been shown at MARTE El Salvador 2013, ICFF New York 2014 and Galerie Joseph Paris 2014.

“Nothing more, nothing less”. Klinka chair is discrete and versatile. The richness of its design lays on its simplicity, where straight lines harmoniously converge to create a continuous form that naturally embraces the seat. Its contemporary form can adapt to various contexts, interior or exterior. Its honesty and cleanness make it an elegant piece.

Carefully handcrafted in metal by Salvadorian artisans. The profile of the chair is made of welded structural metal tube, also welded with round tubes to support the seat. The seat is made of metal sheet, with the holes to secure it with screws to the metal structure. Finally it undergoes the process of electrostatic painting. Also thought to generate the minimum waste possible.

 

Once Upon a Time
 
Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize 2016
Nominated Works 





Built among the woods, this house's walls dodge the existing trees through levitation and zig zag. With an eclectic coexistence between the Central American tropics and a mystic tree house blended throughout the woods, this twisting spaces wriggle on the foothills of the San Salvador volcano.

Some South American ancient cultures thought of serpents as the crawlers beneath volcanoes, the trembling force underneath the earthquakes. This house stands as a tribute to this legend.

The house is located and oriented in the lot in order to make use of the north /south cross winds, to reduce eastern and western exposure and to take “shelter” beneath the shade of trees adjacent to the perimeter. The Irregular geometry of the plan responds to the location of preexisting trees on the site, the desire to maximize the perimeter of the house to blurring the boundary to the surrounding nature, and the creation of view lines between the spaces on a very transparent first level.
