XEROJARDIN
Conversion of a school courtyard into a functional and sustainable xerogarden. Inspired by Burle Marx, the design features layered gravel levels, concrete benches, and mixed lighting to create sun and shade zones. With low-maintenance, drought-resistant plants, drip irrigation, and durable materials like corten steel and concrete, the space promotes student interaction and well-being.

Location
School Courtyard, Madrid
A parametric structure designed to provide shade and comfort in Madrid’s Puerta del Sol during the summer. The project blends functionality and aesthetics, inspired by the interplay of light and shadow. It features a wavy perforated canopy that casts dynamic light patterns, trees and greenery for natural cooling, and curved benches for rest and relaxation. Intended for tourists, locals, and public activities, the design respects key urban elements like kiosks, sculptures, and metro access, transforming the square into a more livable, shaded, and social public space.
