NEW PROJECT FINIHED
ÁLAMO HOUSE
The proposal, located in Madrid, is built on a plot with a significant elevation and an escape towards the landscape on its diagonal direction. The impossibility of accommodating the entire program on a single floor makes a two-level design necessary for the house.
However, we strive to create a sense of continuity through the openings. We like to envision the house as a solid mass, from which these openings are carved out, creating a piece with a dynamic narrative.
Its position on the northern part of the plot allows for the creation of an entry courtyard.
The extension of the interior pavement, which transitions into a terrace and ultimately a pool, outlines a sort of cloister. This, together with the interior of the house, forms a square area, intentionally classic in its design. Internally, the layout is divided between the overlapping area in the north and a section that extends on the ground floor in the west.
The materiality serves as a blank canvas that allows it to stand the test of time without becoming obsolete. A project sketched years ago, that continues to satisfy us today.

HOMES FOR OUR TIME. TASCHEN
Our project House of Sand has been selected to be part of the book “Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World” by the renowned publisher Taschen. This residence is located facing the Mediterranean Sea, in a location where an imposing sand dune protects the coastline from storms. This unique environment has been a key factor in shaping the project. The house is composed of two volumes arranged perpendicularly to each other.
This meticulous global compendium presents an exquisite selection of new homes from around the world. The book, curated by architects and enriched with photographs and floor plans, showcases works by renowned authors such as Shigeru Ban, MVRDV, and Marcio Kogan, alongside promising names like Aires Mateus, Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa. You can find the book here.

NEW PRODUCT
ONE
One is a collection of trays that, starting from the pure form of a circle, express movement and dynamism.
These stone-molded pieces of different diameters explore the maximum capacity for lightness of the material. With a flat supporting surface on their upper side and a gentle curve on their lower side, the trays exhibit a geometry that facilitates handling thanks to their ergonomics.
