The geometry of the house emerges as a direct response to its setting: a predominant views, and a plot with elongated proportions that determine the longitudinal placement of the volume.
In this context, a sequence of extruded spaces is chosen, where the main rooms are oriented toward the open landscape, establishing a continuous relationship between interior and exterior.
The upper volume, slightly offset from the main body, houses the night area and creates a large covered terrace. The volumes feature only two additional openings: one on the ground floor and another on the upper level. Both are placed at strategic points, giving the façade a dynamic reading.
We have always been fascinated by Arthur Schopenhauer’s idea of architecture as “frozen music.” We like to think of this project as a movement in pause, a form sculpted by its context, like Andreu Alfaro’s sculpture Figure About to Fly, eternally still and yet in perpetual motion.

New Project Finished | Mas Cadalt

Is it possible to restore a way of life? Can it be done with the same delicacy used to recover an ancient object?
This project began with understanding, followed by intervening only where necessary. Located in the heart of Serrat de la Cadalt, the commission consisted of updating an abandoned farmhouse to suit contemporary needs. By applying the principle of innovative tradition, the original volume and typology are respected—only what is necessary is updated and transformed.
The residents left everything behind in London to begin a new life in Girona, surrounded by trees, peace, and light.

New Project Finished | Villa Lago, 37Threeseven

The villa is conceived from the dissolution of its architecture into the natural environment, like a growing element or a sequence of forms found in nature.
Its volumes are arranged on the site following a gentle slope, allowing the permeable geometry to become a kind of natural tiered structure.
Its program consists of unique and functional spaces. Furthermore, the volumetric composition unfolds into different elements, creating solids and voids that give rise to courtyards, gardens, terraces, bridges, and reflecting pools — ultimately, a place made up of many places.

New Project | Villa Noon, in La Reserva de Sotogrande
New Project | Villa Noon, in La Reserva de Sotogrande
02/06/2025
In a landscape defined by its topography, Villa Noon is respectfully integrated into the terrain, using the natural slope to open each volume toward a unique horizon.
The layout of the house, fragmented into five circular volumes, responds to the desire to fully blend with the environment, seeking visual continuity with the surrounding nature without creating a disruptive footprint in the landscape.
Each of these volumes includes a front terrace that offers sun protection and a rear patio that provides shelter from the prevailing winds. This circular geometry not only optimizes orientation but also softens the volumetric impact, allowing the architecture to engage with the landscape in a measured and restrained way.
The exterior materiality, made from local Sierra Elvira stone with its grey tones and white veins, gradually blends with its surroundings. Over time, this natural texture will integrate into the site, as if it were part of the terrain itself.
Access to the villa is defined by a large open-air foyer, framed by a curved wall that acts as a threshold between the exterior and interior. This transitional space leads visitors through a sequence of rooms that adapt to the various levels of the terrain. The night area is located on a higher level, separate from the rest of the spaces, while the day area is situated on a lower platform, open to the landscape and in direct connection with the outdoors.
On this same level are the wellness spaces, such as the gym, which serve as a functional and spatial bridge to the independent guest pavilion. This staggered distribution preserves the privacy of each area while maintaining a fluid spatial continuity throughout the entire complex.
The home achieves energy self-sufficiency through a combination of aerothermal and geothermal systems, generating a surplus of electricity. In addition, it incorporates an atmospheric water harvesting system that extracts moisture from the air for domestic use.
To reduce water consumption in the garden, strategies include the use of native plant species grouped by water needs, natural mulching to reduce evaporation, and a drip irrigation system that activates only when necessary. Green roofs improve insulation and capture rainwater, while infiltration trenches (swales) filter and direct stormwater. Permeable surfaces and cisterns complete the system, enabling the collection and reuse of harvested water.
Thanks to this set of strategies, the house also achieves water self-sufficiency—an especially relevant goal in this part of Spain, where the proximity of the Sierra de Grazalema makes the area the rainiest in the country.
We’ve always been fascinated by the way the Namib Desert beetle collects water: in an extremely arid environment, this insect tilts its body toward the wind to condense fog onto its shell, which combines water-attracting and water-repellent surfaces, allowing the droplets to roll directly into its mouth. A natural lesson in efficiency that inspires and reinforces the logic of this system.
The project echoes architectures such as Arne Jacobsen’s Leo Henriksen House or Kazuyo Sejima’s Villa in the Forest, whose circular geometries and sensitivity to the landscape have been sources of inspiration. However, unlike radiocentric solutions, in this case we opted for what we call “the squaring of the circle”: resolving the living areas with an orthogonal plan, while integrating the service spaces into the irregularly shaped zones.
Ultimately, we hope that the passage of time will allow this architecture to blend into its environment, as if it were a karstic relief.

Dominio D’Echauz Winery Featured by Ecoinventos
19/05/2025
The sustainability and eco-architecture platform Ecoinventos has recently published an article dedicated to the Dominio D’Echauz Winery, a project that proposes an intervention fully integrated into its surroundings, where architecture disappears to allow the landscape to take precedence.
The article highlights how the building is embedded into the topography without imposition, respecting the terrain’s morphology and using the earth itself as an envelope. This approach helps optimize energy efficiency, improve interior thermal conditions, and reduce the visual impact of the structure within the natural setting of Castilla y León.
The publication also emphasizes the use of passive temperature control systems, low-impact materials, and natural light as the primary compositional strategy. In the words of the studio, this is an architecture that emerges from the place and for the place, maintaining a constant dialogue with the landscape, materiality, and light.
The winery not only meets the functional requirements of wine production but also offers a sensory and spatial experience for its visitors. From the entrance to the tasting room, the journey is designed as a sequence of spaces that combine technical precision with poetic sensitivity.

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos featured in Proyectar Magazine
12/05/2025
Proyectar Magazine has published an interview with Fran Silvestre, CEO and partner of the studio, in its third issue. The feature offers an in-depth look into the working philosophy of Fran Silvestre Arquitectos: an architecture that combines precision, innovation, and a constant pursuit of effective beauty.
Throughout the conversation, Fran Silvestre reflects on the value of architecture that is not only aesthetic but also functional, durable, and capable of improving the lives of those who inhabit it. The systematization of processes, the mindful use of new technologies, and the integration of tools such as neuroarchitecture and Construction 4.0 are all part of a vision aimed at creating more sustainable, flexible, and human-centered spaces.
The interview also highlights the studio’s methodology, which always begins with teamwork and conceptual exploration, developing three design proposals for each commission. This strategy not only encourages creativity but also strengthens client involvement in the process.
“Perhaps our most important project, and the one I’m most proud of, is the studio itself and the people around it.”
