Villa in la Moraleja under construction
08/07/2024
The Villa Gaitanes project of 37 THREESEVEN, located in the prestigious urbanisation of La Moraleja, is already in the execution phase and the structure has been completed.
Villa Gaitanes is a volume formed from the addition and subtraction of circular shapes to a central rectangular mass. The circular shapes that compose it generate environments of covered and uncovered terraces that embrace the natural green landscape of the terrain.
The organisation of this villa is distributed on two levels, so that the intimate and social areas are located on a single ground floor, at the level of the main entrance. The support areas, services and facilities are located in the basement, which is practically impossible to see from the plot due to the care taken in its implementation.
You can find more information about the project here.

New project Villa Noon, the first zero villa in the world
New project Villa Noon, the first zero villa in the world
01/07/2024
This project, located in the exclusive urbanization of the Reserva de Sotogrande, is designed with cylindrical volumes that follow the unevenness of the terrain and a stone facade that harmonizes with the landscape, subtly integrating into its natural surroundings. From it one can enjoy panoramic views of the reserve, the Sotogrande beach, the sea, and, on clear days, Africa.
From the highest point of the plot, you gain access to a courtyard characterized by a water feature that creates a pleasant space to enjoy at various times of the day. From this space, an exterior staircase leads to the circular courtyard which houses the bedrooms and an interior hall with views of the sea. At a lower level, another circle contains the daytime spaces, such as the kitchen, dining room, living room, and an indoor spa, all designed to maximize comfort and connection with the natural environment.
At street level, at the end of the plot, are the entrances to the garages, integrating functionality and aesthetics without compromising the harmonious design of the house. This architectural layout allows the house to blend with its surroundings, respecting the natural topography and offering a living experience that celebrates the interaction between construction and landscape.

Nominees of the Second Edition of the Room Awards | Sabater House
Nominees of the Second Edition of the Room Awards | Sabater House
24/06/2024
The project La Casa Sabater has been selected as a finalist for the ROOM Awards. This award highlights the excellence, originality and innovation of national projects and studies of architecture, interior design, design, craftsmanship and contemporary art.
In its latest edition, the ROOM Awards continue its tradition of recognizing creativity and sustainability in the field of architecture. The different categories include buildings, urban planning, landscaping, public spaces, interior design and products. The awards value not only the aesthetics and functionality of the projects, but also their impact on sustainability and their social contribution.
The Sabater House project arises from its implantation in the environment. The building is deployed through a very clear geometry, moving away from the concept of compact architecture. This strategy, together with the slender proportions of the construction, increases the perimeter of contact between the house and the exterior, generating a system of courtyards that seems to have no limits.
The main program is divided into three floors. The upper floor is where the sleeping area is located. Its orientation allows it to look towards the sea over the height of the trees. From this floor you can access the deck of the first floor, this deck is enjoyed as a belvedere over the landscape. Structurally it functions as a bridge between the garage that “approaches” the boundary of the plot and the communication core. This generates a shaded porch, which invites us to access the house. It is a piece closed to the street that gives privacy to the whole.

New event in Sotogrande | June 6th
New event in Sotogrande | June 6th
03/06/2024
On June 6th we will present together with Cork Oak Mansion the first house “Casa Zero”, a pioneering home that redefines the standards of luxury and sustainability in an event sponsored by DUS Desarrollos Inmobiliarios, Range Rover, de Antonio Yachts, GANDIABLASCO and La Reserva de Sotogrande.
This innovative project, which does not require connection to conventional utilities, water and electricity, thanks to its advanced self-sufficiency technologies, marks a milestone in green construction and design.
The “Zero House” is characterized as a home that does not need to be connected to the conventional utility grid thanks to advanced technologies, such as a condensing air conditioning system for fresh water. This cutting-edge approach not only ensures efficient management of natural resources, but also minimizes environmental impact. In landscape architecture, for example, various strategies can be implemented, such as the use of native and drought-resistant plants, the grouping of vegetation according to its water needs, and the application of mulching to regulate soil temperature and reduce evaporation. In addition, efficient irrigation systems can be installed, cisterns can be used to collect rainwater, and permeable surfaces and green roofs can be integrated. This revolutionary design, which guarantees maximum efficiency in the use of natural resources and a minimal ecological footprint, meets the demanding criteria of a Passive House, standing out for its ability to operate completely independently of conventional supply networks and its exceptional energy efficiency.
Range Rover, De Antonio Yachts and Gandia Blasco, leading brands in innovation and design, will also participate in the event, presenting their latest creations that define the new standard in conscious and sustainable luxury. Range Rover, a symbol of innovation and luxury in the automotive world, will present its latest 100% electric model. This launch reflects the brand’s vision of combining performance and sophistication with environmentally friendly technology, offering an exceptional driving experience without compromising its ecological responsibility. De Antonio Yachts redefines luxury yachting with its focus on sustainability, and will also introduce its innovative 100% electric yacht. This launch highlights the brand’s commitment to advanced technology and elegant design, providing an exceptional boating experience that is both powerful and environmentally friendly. And finally, Gandia Blasco, a pioneer in outdoor furniture design, will showcase a variety of its furniture at the event, each reflecting its commitment to sustainability through the use of recycled materials and responsible manufacturing practices.
The concept of “new sustainable luxury” is transforming expectations in the high-end sectors by combining design with significant environmental awareness. This contemporary approach not only highlights exceptional quality and design, but also integrates responsible production and operational practices that reduce the impact on the environment. Leading brands are leading the way to a future where luxury and sustainability complement each other, setting new standards for conscious consumption in our society.
This event will not only mark the debut of a pioneering sustainable housing structure, but will also provide a unique platform where leading brands will demonstrate how the luxury sector, thanks to its vast resources, is uniquely qualified to lead in innovation and ecological responsibility. In a sector where means are abundant, there is an unparalleled opportunity to explore and adopt advanced innovations that are often unfeasible in more domestic contexts, thus setting new standards for sustainable architecture and design.

NIU Houses finalist in the ADI-FAD awards
NIU Houses finalist in the ADI-FAD awards
27/05/2024
ADI-FAD organizes the ADI 2024 Awards, which bring together three awards in different areas of design: the Delta Awards for industrial design professionals and companies, awarded since 1961, the ADI Medals for students, which have been awarded since 1976, and the ADI Culture Awards, launched in 2016 and focused on projects that highlight the value of design culture.
Created in 1961, they aim to promote public recognition of innovative products that propose a conceptual renewal, bring an environmental or social concern, while exemplifying good design and manufacturing quality. Selected products will compete for one Gold Delta and two Silver Deltas in each category, and will automatically receive the Bronze Delta distinction in the final judging phase. An opinion delta will also be awarded by a vote of FAD members.
NIU was born from the desire to give a global response to the current processes of architecture and construction. Therefore, we have designed a system to execute the manufacture of houses in the most efficient and effective way. Our work process integrates all the necessary phases in the construction of a design house: from the architectural project -including the management with the administration and the coordination of all the agents involved in the construction- to the interior design. The rigorous systematization of all the operations involved in this integral process guarantees the successful materialization of our houses.
The jury’s verdict and the presentation of the awards will take place on June 13, 2024, at a ceremony to be held at Disseny Hub Barcelona, where the winners will be announced.

Casa Sabater, cover of the IW Magazine
13/05/2024
Our project Casa Sabater has been selected to appear on the cover of IW magazine in its 156th edition corresponding to the month of May.
Inside we find a complete coverage of the project, with photographies of the prestigious Portuguese photographer Fernando Guerra and with graphic documentation to contextualize the description and the images.
The house establishes a continuous dialogue with the exterior through four architectural elements that descend, adapting to the slope of the land and preserving the existing vegetation. Its design defines three distinct areas: a portico-like access, private areas facing the slope and spaces open to the landscape. Each volume frames different parts of the environment, creating a sequence of landscapes that merge with the vegetation, offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest and the sea from every room.
IW magazine reports on the aesthetics of living space and design trends in order to offer a refined lifestyle. It publishes articles about humanity, architecture, interior design, industrial design and contemporary art, editing all its content with a broad and detailed perspective. The way it makes pleasant reading and attractive images, along with its function of connecting business resources with professionals, has made it an international reference.

Shooting new project in Sotogrande
Shooting new project in Sotogrande
06/05/2024
Recently we have done a photo and video session in one of our latest built projects, Casa en Sotogrande.
For this, we have worked with renowned photographer Fernando Guerra and filmmaker Jesús Orrico, who have been in charge of documenting the essence of the design.
Located in front of the Sotogrande golf course, the house proposes to inhabit the shadow between the ground plane and the roof. A generous overhang allows to stop the intense sun of Cadiz and cover from the heavy rains of the area produced by the Sierra de Grazalema.
The structural effort allows to open the space directly to the landscape without interruptions. Access is from the upper street. From this point the water cover is observed in an attempt to blur the architecture to blend it into the natural environment.
The roof planes and the zero elevation are displaced to generate a covered access and an endless pool over the golf course. The ultimate goal is to minimize the impact on the environment, allowing the enjoyment of an inhabited shade in Sotogrande.
