Bridging European refined aesthetics with the disciplined beauty of Japanese heritage. With over a decade of experience, I specialize in high-end architectural design and visualization, creating immersive residential spaces, luxury resorts, and curated art environments that harmonize modern innovation with traditional soul. As a versatile creator, I lead projects independently or integrate into global design teams, ensuring every detail—from the initial hand-drawn dessin to the final light bounce—is executed with technical precision. — 01. Concept & Technical Design Architectural foundations for residential and resort projects. I provide hand-sketched concepts, 2D floor plans, and spatial layouts that respect both functional needs and cultural context. — 02. High-End 3D Visualization Atmospheric renderings with a focus on "material honesty." I specialize in hyper-realistic 3D texturing and light-sculpted environments that allow clients to feel the space before it is built. — 03. Cultural Scenography & Exhibition Design Specialized design for art galleries, luxury events, and contemporary cabinets of curiosities. I create narrative-driven layouts where lighting and object placement define the visitor experience. Key Areas of Expertise: The Residence: Modern-Traditional Japanese interiors,featuring seamless Tatami and Shoji integration. The Resort: Large-scale exterior visualizations and concepts for the global luxury travel industry. The Gallery: Curated exhibition spaces where architecture serves the artwork’s narrative. Philosophy: Sculpting with Light "Light is my primary medium. I do not just 'brighten' a room; I sculpt with it." By analyzing the specific orientation of a site, I use 3D visualization to predict how natural light interacts with materials throughout the day. My work focuses on the transition of time, ensuring a space remains dynamic from the first light of dawn to the blue hour of dusk. I am currently accepting select commissions for architectural and cultural projects. Let’s discuss how we can bring your vision to light.

Hi! I'm an Architect and Interior Designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina, based in Kyoto, Japan since 2015. I offer services of : -3D renders -Booth design -Exhibition-Space designs (Experiential Exhibitions) -Project Management -Art Production (Exhibition Planning and execution) Experience: I have worked as an exhibition designer for Kyotographie (Kyoto International Photography Festival) for 6 years, as well as designing spaces for other art festivals such as Nuit Blanche Kyoto, ACK (Art Collaboration Kyoto) and Tokyo Gendai. I have also worked in several Architecture and Interior Design studios in Argentina and Japan, where I was involved in residential and commercial renovations (air bnb, apartments, offices, , shops, exhibitions, etc.) with Japanese contemporary style, and did an internship at Kohei Nawa's "Sandwich -contemporary art platform"-. My life in Kyoto and passage through creative studios fueled my interest and allowed me to strenghten my specialization in the combination of design+art. I offer experiential exhibitions based on translating the concept of the artworks into space, allowing the visitor to be part of the artist's vision. I believe in the power of architecture to provoke emotions through immersive experiences which I think is key to communicate a message strongly and in a memorable way. Education: I have a Bachelor in Interior Design from Argentina (with a strong focus on art installations, creation of atmospheres, and an investigation thesis about "Sensory Spaces in Commercial Interiors".) And a bachelor in Arts (Architectural Design course) from Kyoto University of Arts & Crafts. I have learned about Japanese Culture, Arts & Traditional Architecture deeply and like to incorporate Japanese aesthetic philosophies to my designs in a conceptual way. I offer my services in English/ Spanish / Japanese Instagram: engawa_studio_
