How would you describe your personal design style?

Despite Mies Van Der Rohe, being my favourite architect, Alvaro Siza and Souto Moura were my mentors, and they helped me to shape my design style. In our studio we believe in making projects with an integral concept while generating experiences. Working in the commercial market, allows me to be more trendy and to take more risks than if I were to make a home, to us residential projects have to be timeless, with finishes, materials, and a neutral pallete color, I this projects we play more with the accents, because you can change them anytime you want.
