I AM MANUEL MERINO AND I AM AN ARTIST

I am a human being who enjoys create art as an architect and as a musician as well. Every project I am involved with has a part of me imprinted on it. I define myself as a truly passionate artist who looks to capture and translate the beauty of human interaction into music and spaces.

A S  A N  A R C H I T E C T

With 15 years of experience in different design areas, from urban design and planning, to architecture, landscape and interior design. I have worked on new residential buildings, hospitality facilities, offices and banks. Since the beginning I devoted my practice to high quality design shown in every project I am involved with.
I strongly believe that good design can improve and change people's lives. My aim is to continue adding value to human experience through architecture.
