I am a Spanish Architect based in New York City. I graduated from the School of Architecture of Barcelona and I have spent the last decade working as an associate and project leader at FR-EE in NYC.
Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to lead multiple architectural and engineering teams and to work in all phases of projects, from conceptual design to construction administration.
During my first professional experience in Barcelona I worked as a Junior Architect at P6 Arquitectes. I acquired substantial experience detailing, developing construction documents. I also assisted the principal Architect during the construction administration phase in multiple educational and institutional projects.
In New York I have had the opportunity to manage large-scale architectural projects as part of the team at FR-EE NY from 2011 to 2019. My role as an Associate and Design Leader has allowed me to develop collaborative relationships with clients, other designers, engineers, contractors and authorities, and I had been trusted with the responsibility to build, mentor and manage an extended group of talented designers.
In late 2019 I received an invitation to develop an architectural project on my own. I took that chance to dedicate my time to build a team and start a partnership. In early 2020 we stablished bloq studio and we since have participated in several architectural competitions both local and international. We have also designed the renovation of a 3 unit residential complex in Eleuthera, The Bahamas. For which, construction is scheduled to begin late 2020.
I am always looking for new challenges and opportunities to collaborate and learn. Please reach out!
