Surprisingly, I can specifically recollect arriving and taking a long trip to my grandmother’s house. Immediately, I noticed how simple yet how humble my grandmother’s house was. The exterior was made of concrete and the roof was made out of tin, which I later learned was to protect from the excessive amount of rainfall. As I walked in I remember seeing a large opening right at the center of the house that connected the interior from the exterior. At first I found it quite abnormal, but I grew to love that one detail of the house. Every night from my bedroom, I could hear the rain drizzle down the tin roof and go trough the small atrium, and every morning I would have breakfast right next to the plants that had gathered near the opening. A decade has passed since that trip, and I still to this day remember my grandmother’s house and the feeling I felt when I was in it. I believe that’s the power of creating a space, being able to use its full potential and evoke emotion to the person that is in it. In the future, and as simple as is might be, I aspire to one day create and design spaces that allow people to feel
