Austin, TX
Located at LAGO VISTA – AUSTIN, TEXAS, this project is at the construction drawings stage on a pronounced scope piece of land. The social kitchen, the different heights used, and the total communication with the outside thanks to the huge windows, give this area the dynamic and transparent character the young couple was looking for. The staircase has been placed in the middle of the residence, reducing distances and improving communication at middle levels between the different areas of the house.
This project sets new standards for sustainability and includes a green roof for insulation over the living roof area as well as hydronic HVAC for maximum energy efficiency.

LUXURY CONDO / Aventura, FL
Small apartment of 1500 sf located in Aventura, Florida. With an excellent rationalization of the use of the area.
The kitchen was extended to the social area, creating a breakfast room and a bar station made using affordable modules adapted to its use. The large master bedroom was reduced to a sufficient size creating a large walk-in closet.
The direct access to the kitchen from the entrance door was closed creating a pantry area; a French sliding door to the DEN was placed. The combination of the wooden floor with the predominance of the white color in the furniture coupled with the creation of a false ceiling with indirect light visually widens the space and gives it a kind character that invites to good eating and drinking.
