A San Francisco family asked us to help them expand an existing property near Lake Tahoe in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. The site sits on a north facing slope and looks down to the Martis Valley and up to Lookout Mountain through a natural screen of 100-year-old Jeffrey pine trees.

Some times I see very beautiful and weird things in my dreams. In this series I tried to create visualizations of one of my dream.

The El Torón Reserve is located on the coast of Oaxaca on a 30-hectare site that was voluntarily designated for conservation. The care of this territory, its flora and fauna, as well as the understanding of how to intervene in it, is what allows us to call it a "reserve" and what establishes the basis for the projects that are proposed within it.

This series expertly combines the rules and ideals of the Renaissance with nature's wonderful unpredictability. Similar to my previous explorations, I possess a fascination with the blurred zone, the in-between, and the transitional space. Bearing this in mind, we can identify the two ideas that collide and transition within this series.
