PORTFOLIO
ACADEMIC WORK
For me personally, an academic career is like a ticket to society. I get to see all sorts of sights along the way, but it's not quite what the world is really like, but it's a necessary experience to become a professional. This page presents all the projects I have worked on in university that are only relative to space design.
ASSEMBLAGE
Final degree project
Worldwide
The purpose of designing Assemblage was to provide an ideal and comfortable place to stay for people travelling the world. When we have a pristine and natural destination that we want to explore, the Assemblage offers us the opportunity to create a habitable transient home that helps us to integrate into the natural world and adapt to the shape of the environment at will, without compromising ecology.
CHESS HOUSE
Apartment Casa Bloc
C/ Passeig de Torras i Bages, 105, 08030, Barcelona
​
This is the first interior design project in my academic career. The goal of the project was to personalise a duplex flat. We chose a chess player as the user to create a unique flat that fits his character and is named Chess House. The object was creating a personalised space for the habitant.

DIVISION
Passage in Iglesia Misericordia
C/ d'Elisabets, 8, Sala Xavier Miserachs, 08001, Barcelona
Iglesia misericordia is an abandoned church with two main floors. For this project, we have subdivided the work into three parts, the aisles, the stairs and the corners. The project focuses on rethinking the entire structure of the building and reorganising these three parts into an attractive public space.

AVENUE
Co-Housing in FÃ brica Albert Germans
C/ Rodés, 46, L'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Barcelona
AVENUE is one of the biggest projects I have ever done in my university life. The aim of the project was to communalise a disused factory and transform it into a communal home. The factory is divided into four main areas. The central part is transformed into a residential area, the two wings into a communal recreation area and an activity area located outside.

SALON
Development of Hyperloop TT​
Los Angeles, America
This project is unique and is the only one that is real in the academic career. The Hyperloop TT in the USA plans to complete the design of its namesake hyperloop in a few years and has asked us to provide a design proposal for its interior space. This is the only interior design of a transport vehicle that we have worked on at university, a futuristic project demanded by a real company.

CONFINED OUTDOORS
Rooftop of my apartment
C/ Huelva, 67-69, 08020, Barcelona
The pandemic made us isolated in our buildings and cannot go out to investigate the space, but that does not mean we have lost our purpose. Apart from our own living space, there was another site we could access, the rooftop of this house. Against this background, we tried to think of ways to adapt the public space to deal with such an emergency, that way we won't feel enclosed.

EATOPIA
Metaverse restaurant
BLOKTOPIA platform
The Eatopia is a virtual platform ordering system developed by our team. In the age of technology, virtual worlds are gradually appearing on certain platforms, and the metaverse is constantly being developed and created. Some day in the future, we may be able to socialise in virtual worlds.
THE TREE PROJECT
Stand
Plaça de les Glòries Catalanes, 37, 08018 Barcelona
The tree project is about the creation of four different panels on the theme of nature, a poster, a souvenir, an interactive installation and a stand, which presents an ephemeral artificially created natural environment.
