Professional practice · Maifren · Since 2023

Design, detail and delivery in timber.

Maifren

At Maifren, I coordinate bespoke timber projects from the first conversation and site survey to technical drawings, costing, workshop production and installation. I develop dimensions and construction details in Archicad, calculate timber requirements, liaise with suppliers and trades, and follow each project through on site. I also photograph completed work and create content for Maifren’s website and Instagram.

Timber Pergola

Pilara, Buenos Aires

A timber pergola framing an outdoor living area and views across the garden. Angled roof slats filter daylight, while pivoting timber screens provide adjustable shade and privacy. The photographs and technical drawings document the structure, its connections and its relationship with the surrounding landscape.

The result we achieve

Through a considered process

The client commissioned a bespoke automatic sliding garage door clad in lapacho, a dense, durable South American hardwood. The main challenge was designing a system capable of supporting the door’s weight while ensuring smooth operation. We developed an iron frame clad in 25 mm lapacho boards, incorporating a window opening and concealing the track and rollers for a clean finish.
