Passionate about transforming homes, friendly, optimistic and creative, she is Meri +<\/a>\u00a0. Meri + will always be ready to help you have the home that will make you fall in love with your life and all those little moments that make it up. If you need her, you only have to look for her in her kitchen or in her studio, maybe listening to the BSO of Dirty Dancing. She herself has transformed her own story thanks to her 'Broken House'. If you want to know what it's all about, just read on.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tell us about yourself and your work. Where did your vocation start? Any first memories?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I always wanted to be an architect. I remember the day I first thought about it. I was very young. When I was 6 years old, I experienced my first change of house. I went with my parents to a carpenter to have a room made for my sister and me. I remember the drawings they made for us. They were hand drawn. I was amazed at how they had drawn the shadows and glitter on the materials to make them more real, easier to understand. I loved it. That was the first time I thought: I want to do this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What do you find most satisfying about your work, and any that you are particularly proud of?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I am passionate about transformation. Turning a list of ingredients, materials and resources into something different, improved, more beautiful and efficient. I guess that's why I like to cook. In fact, the way I cook is similar to the way I approach projects. I prioritise the quality of the ingredients, the more natural the better. I like simple, tasty dishes with few elements, and the result is always something nice, healthy, tasty and beautiful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is your creative process like, what are your sources of inspiration, any particular music while working?<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

I find it essential to nurture my creativity. Seeing, hearing, reading, talking. When I start a project my head is predisposed to gather information. It's like when you get pregnant and you only see pregnant women in the street. Anything you see, hear or experience can give you answers. But, without a doubt, and although it has been hard for me to admit it, the biggest factor is experience. That is why I have learned so much by making my own home, and it is now, by living in it, that I am learning the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Favourite colour, book, film and record - in that order! ;D<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n

Although I like all colours, my favourite, without a doubt, is white.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A book? The latest one inevitably comes to mind: Por si las voces vuelven by \u00c1ngel Mart\u00edn. It talks about mental health. I don't know if it's the subject, the language, the writer's style or the fact of having listened to it in audiobook format in his own voice, but I've experienced it a lot. I have had some very crazy reflections with him, and never better said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peli and disc? I'm going to put this together. Dirty Dancing. Great film and great soundtrack, in fact, I don't know which is better. I'm a child of the 80s, what can I do!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
