Carolina joined Studio Woodroffe Papa in 2020 following the completion of her Master in Housing and Urbanism with distinction at the Architectural Association in London. She is a chartered architect since 2016, when she started practicing in Latin America, focusing on housing and adaptation.
Within Studio Woodroffe Papa, Carolina focuses on the inception and design stages, working on the threshold between architecture and urbanism. She has collaborated on regeneration and mixed-use projects in Europe, including the urban vision for the industrial city of Helmond and the major infrastructural challenge of the Ringpark Groenendaal in Antwerp. She is currently leading the development of the Krulli Quarter reconversion scheme while working on the masterplan of live/work environments in New Zealand.
Her training has enabled her to work across scales and articulating stakeholders: bringing the concept to a reality working closely with clients, partners, and consultants. Because of this, she has led the studio’s work in international interdisciplinary teams’ large-scale residential projects and mixed-use buildings.
Caro’s interest in the typological potential of adaptive reuse has driven her to research for the past five years, first in South America and then in the UK. Her studies on the transformation of offices buildings and industrial compounds into housing have granted her international recognition.
