Aluminum House | Advertising for Adidas

The company Adidas has filmed an advertising spot in our Aluminum House project.

More specifically for Y-3, the Adidas division led by the Japanese designer Yohji Yamamoto, to create garments for the soccer field. Y-3 already has a relationship with the world’s most popular sport and has been associated with Spanish club Real Madrid since 2014, where Zinédine Zidane is the face of the new collaboration. You can find the video here.

New project finished | NIU N290

In NIU’s systematized architecture, each N290 is the same and at the same time different from the rest. The adaptation of the model to their landscape makes them unique. Its insertion into the topography, in this case over a slope, leads the project to an accommodation of an access staircase that becomes a project in itself. The house saves and circumvents the imposing pine trees that characterize the house.

The configuration of the house is made around a central courtyard, which reminds us of an impluvium. Four pieces with the same morphology, open on the long sides and closed on the short sides, are radially intertwined generating four outdoor spaces with different characters. An exterior space for the day area, another for the kitchen, an exterior space related to the bedrooms and another that functions as a pedestrian entrance area. The interior spaces of the house extend to the exterior, with exactly the same dimension, like a carpet that gives continuity to the spatial sequence. Thus, the habitable volume is extended and only the shade and the climate control will tell us whether we are inside or outside.

New project finished | House in the Álamo

We recently completed the single-family home project House in the Álamo. The principal is to release the largest possible in the middle of the site allowing you to enjoy a private space with a height and volume incalculable. It enhances the perimeter of contact with the outside housing, land and housing understood as a continuum.

Instituto Universitario CMT | Eólica Tower

The Universitat Politécnica de València, in one of the buildings that the campus dedicates to aerodynamic research, has subjected the Eólica Tower to tests of resistance and performance; through a recreation of turbulence and winds similar to those that it will be subjected to in the Port of Valencia, once the project is completed.

Under construction | Well Villa

The site works of the project are currently in the structure phase. Located in the PGA golf course, in Girona, the house seeks the best views over the place where it is set. The project is solved by means of two extruded spaces, two overlapping volumes, in which the upper one moves towards the lake in front, giving as a result a cantilever that aims to generate a great shaded terrace. Two elements that define a single project, in which we appreciate facades of great dynamism generated by different openings in them, that allow for a comfortable reading of the building.

New project finished | The Empty House

The project establish a dialogue between two times; a relationship between an old house and a new project. The object is to be extremely respectful of the pre-existence, conserving the protected and most valuable part of the original structure, and adapting the house to the present moment. This is why a replacement of the interior space is carried out, emptying it to regularize the spaces and giving rise to the name of the project.

Thinking by doing | Workshop in MArch Architecture and Design

This week took place, at the MArch Architecture and Design School, the workshop with Fran Silvestre Thinking by doing. We have been worked on the way of approaching the conception of a project. The initial phase of the architectural project is one of the most complex parts to undertake because of its level of abstraction, and it is also one of the most important of its development.

Each project is understood as a personal challenge with different variables (scale, conditioners, customers, use …) that determine the result of the work. At this point, it is necessary to know and use an effective working method.

Photoshooting | Piera House

New project finished | Àtic Blanc

Located in the center of Valencia, the project seeks to reinterpret the approach of this type of housing, recovering the potential of disused roofs. We like to think that each building takes away an open space from the city and gives it back on the roof.

New project finished | NIU N70

In this series of houses the starting point is a combination of extruded spaces in which the open parts are the ones that are glazed. A way of proceeding investigated in some works by Jacobsen or Souto de Moura. The work process begins with the use of aluminum profiles to make the models, a system that generates an infinite number of combinations. This work produces a kind of chalk laboratory where the limits are very clear.

New project | House in Florida

The project, which consists of two twin houses that open onto the Sarasota Bay, seeks views of the landscape through two cantilevers that extend over the volume of its ground floors: one in the longitudinal direction and the other in the transverse direction.

Two vaults pierce the geometry allowing the access to the building, and creating a sort of central atrium which can be used, due to its form, to generate events and exhibitions.
