Number 1 Architecture Studio in Spain According to Architizer

14/04/2025

Our studio has been recognized as the number one architecture studio in Spain in the annual ranking published by Architizer, one of the world’s most influential platforms for contemporary architecture.

Headquartered in New York, Architizer connects over 100 million architects, designers, and developers each year with projects that are redefining the global architectural landscape. Its ranking, updated on April 4th, 2025, identifies the leading studios in the industry based on design excellence, innovation, and international recognition, serving as a benchmark for clients and institutions alike.

In Spain’s case, the analysis is framed within a particularly rich historical and cultural context. From Mudéjar heritage and Catalan modernism to the democratic movements of the late 20th century, Spanish architecture has played a key role in international architectural discourse, with figures such as Antoni Gaudí, Rafael Moneo, and Oriol Bohigas. Today, the studios featured in this ranking continue to project that legacy into the contemporary landscape through innovation and design.

Villa Noon in Sotogrande, featured in the Financial Times

07/04/2025

Our project Villa Noon has been featured in the Financial Times – How To Spend It, one of the most influential international publications, particularly in the fields of luxury, architecture, and contemporary lifestyle.

This prestigious British outlet, known for its rigor and authority, highlights in its article how Villa Noon represents a new generation of homes that combine sustainability with high-level architecture.

The feature explores the growing interest in self-sufficient homes that do not compromise on design, and it emphasizes a global trend towards what they call “eco-luxury”: homes that incorporate advanced energy systems, extreme efficiency, and innovative solutions for water use and natural resource management. In this context, Villa Noon stands out as a unique case thanks to its holistic approach, its ability to operate independently from traditional networks, and its commitment to passive house standards.

His artistic career is marked by a deep commitment to human values, intercultural understanding, and reflection on the human condition. His expressive and symbolic style blends classical and contemporary influences, focusing on themes such as truth, identity, spirituality, and coexistence.

His work has been exhibited in numerous cities such as Paris, Geneva, Rome, and Amsterdam, and has been part of significant events such as the 50th anniversary of May ’68 in France and the tribute to Martin Luther King held in Geneva. He also leads the Antonio Camaró Foundation, an organization that promotes art as a tool for intercultural dialogue and social transformation.

La Moraleja Villa 18

New Project Finished | Villa 18, House in La Moraleja

New Project Finished | Villa 18, House in La Moraleja

24/03/2025

The project features diagonal views toward a lake belonging to the La Moraleja golf course in Madrid. Given that the size of this location allowed for it, a home was proposed that develops primarily on a single floor.

The daytime area is organized into two volumes of different heights that shift in relation to each other, creating a sheltered terrace that faces the landscape, oriented southeast. The main body has a height of almost one and a half floors. A third structure houses the nighttime area, positioned in such a way that it has its own more private outdoor space.
The interplay of the three built volumes forms an entrance courtyard, oriented north, which gives a distinctive character to the entryway experience. The geometry has a structural function, allowing for unobstructed views of the landscape without supports. This way, spaces may remain adaptable in the future for new uses and users.

Just as the Inuit and other Arctic peoples have, according to linguists, more than forty words to describe snow, in this project, we were challenged to find a very specific and extensive range of whites with warm undertones. These shades encompass everything from Colmenar’s natural stone to ash wood, which is found in the forests of Madrid, different types of brass with colors close to 9016, and lighting temperatures tending towards 2,700K. The aim was to achieve an integrated heterogeneity that would likely help to create a sense of calm within these domestic spaces.

On the lower floor, spaces dedicated to physical well-being are located, including the swimming pool, gym, and other complementary uses, all illuminated by a skylight. Each volume features a rounded edge, generating a dynamic visual reading. These curved elements are placed in the open terrace areas, facilitating construction while ensuring that all interiors remain orthogonal. We have always been fascinated by this strategy in the work of Andreu Alfaro. In some of his pieces, the relationship between the straight line and the curve creates a continuous knot, where the eye appears to flow seamlessly from one element to another. As Maderuelo would say, we sought to “capture” this spatial quality from Alfaro’s sculptures. As a result, the main part of the house becomes a sort of continuous journey, where the swimming pool transitions into the terrace, which in turn integrates with the facades of the built volumes, ultimately closing the loop back at the pool. This approach highlights one of the many functions of the home: to be enjoyed by observing it.

On February 26th at 7:00 p.m., our showroom in Campolivar, Valencia, will be the meeting place for the unveiling of our new outdoor kitchen, developed in collaboration with Gandia Blasco Group and Porcelanosa, two leading companies in design and quality.

The design, created by Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, stands out for its simple and functional lines, intended to seamlessly integrate into various outdoor spaces. It is a modular kitchen that offers practical and flexible solutions, easily adapting to different dimensions to create work surfaces or tables according to the needs of each space.

One of the most innovative features is the incorporation of an induction system integrated into the surface, using advanced materials from Porcelanosa. Among these, KRION®️ stands out as a compact mineral with antibacterial properties, durability, and easy maintenance, and XTONE®️, a large-format porcelain recognized for its durability. XTONE®️ is particularly suitable for countertops with hidden induction, providing a continuous surface that facilitates cleaning.

In addition, it is possible to integrate specific outdoor appliances, such as refrigerators and freezers designed to withstand varying weather conditions, ensuring the preservation of food and beverages.

With this product, we want to offer a new outdoor cooking experience, combining design, innovation, and functionality, always from a practical, useful, and everyday perspective.
