Una de las vertientes de su trabajo que el jurado ha destacado es su obra en intervención en patrimonio. Ejemplo de ello son las diversas actuaciones que entre 1986 y 2018 han realizado para la sede de Cibeles del Banco de España. Actuaciones que han permitido recuperar y poner en valor espacios ocultos y olvidados del edificio para ser ocupados con nuevos usos.
