Conceptual design and documentation— developed as part of my work at Contract Workplaces.
The project aims to revitalize the entrance hall of a university on the outskirts of Buenos Aires. Around the central staircase, a stepped seating structure redefines the space, turning it into a place for gathering and pause. The intervention also includes the reception and waiting area, designed with warm materials such as wood and locally sourced natural stone. The result is a more welcoming and flexible space that balances the monumental scale of the existing architecture with a renewed sense of comfort and belonging.

Look & Feel

The university hall is transformed into a warm and welcoming space, where wood defines the palette and colorful accents in cushions and textiles add softness and comfort. Designed to balance the original heterogeneous layout, the space invites interaction and a sense of well-being.
