This project is a digital recreation of the iconic Trinquet Pelayo — known as the cathedral of pilota — a historic sports venue in the heart of Valencia that today also operates as a traditional bar-restaurant.

The goal was to create a realistic and respectful 3D representation of the space, capturing its identity between heritage and everyday use. The work combined research with a full digital workflow: 2D drafting, 3D modeling, rendering, and visual composition.

Our three-person team organized the process into clear phases: surveying the space, applying materials, and defining the lighting. Each step went through several reviews to ensure accuracy and a coherent final result. We worked with AutoCAD, Rhino, V-Ray, Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.

We focused especially on the local materials — Valencian hydraulic tiles, lime-mortar walls, and oak furniture — and on recreating the warm atmosphere that defines the original interior.

This project helped me bring together technical drawing, digital tools, and architectural storytelling, while honoring a space that is deeply rooted in Valencian culture.
