His works include the administrative headquarters of the Regional Ministry of Agriculture and Fishing in the Tabladilla complex, the Hotel Plaza de Armas and the new Football Stadium of Real Betis Balompié, all in Seville, the Casa Berenice in Aravaca (Madrid), the Plaza del Mar and the Football Stadium, Hotel and Offices of the Arcángel complex in Cordoba, and the Multipurpose Centre of El Toyo for the Mediterranean Games of Almería 2005, a building which played with the level of abstraction and opaque sections in its space.
"There is very little glazing, maybe this is why it is poetic, because it is not an external building but rather it is an invitation to the idea of an enclosure, of seclusion or of cloister”, he indicates. He has likewise obtained numerous architecture awards such as the International Competition “The Grand Egyptian Museum” (2002), the APCE Best Tourist Building in Spain Award 2004-2005 for the Apartment and Commercial Premises Building in Valdregrana (2006) and a Mention in the Competition for the Police Court Building on the Madrid Campus of Justice (2007).
He is the author of the Palmería Streetlamp (2002), a convincing element with an elegant bearing designed to illuminate with little intensity which helps to personalize the space, diffusing a warm light which accompanies us by night, without imposing its presence.
