Photo shoot at Roca Views Ibiza

20/07/2026

Our studio has completed the photo shoot for Roca Views Ibiza, thus advancing the documentation and dissemination process of this project. Photographer Jesús Orrico’s keen eye has precisely captured the atmosphere and spatial essence of the home, as well as its relationship with the island’s topography, light, and landscape.

The project stems from an essential question: Can we build on this hillside by depositing a single piece? In response, the home is conceived as an extraordinarily thin sheet, only nine centimeters thick, that folds over the terrain, respecting both the natural slope and the conditions established by regulations.

This continuous gesture organizes the program through a descending sequence comprising the garage, the day area, the swimming pool, and the night area. Each of these areas adapts to a different elevation of the hillside, allowing the architecture to accompany the terrain rather than imposing itself upon it.

The arrangement of spaces simultaneously enhances frontal and lateral views. The home is understood as a mechanism capable of capturing the surrounding landscape, framing different perspectives of the surroundings and creating shaded areas from which to enjoy Ibiza.

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos designs the packaging for a limited edition for TAG Heuer

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos designs the packaging for a limited edition for TAG Heuer

06/07/2026

Fran Silvestre Arquitectos has designed the packaging for a limited edition for TAG Heuer, a collaboration born from a relationship we have always considered particularly close: the one between watchmaking and architecture.

Although architecture has traditionally been understood as a static art, its link with time has been present since the most ancient cultures. Babylonians, Egyptians, Mayans, and many other civilizations considered the movement of the sun to orient, build, and give meaning to their architectures. Light, its path, and its variations throughout the day and year transform spaces, activate volumes, and bring architecture to life with the passage of time.

This limited edition commemorates the summer solstice, a time of year when light acquires a particularly unique chromaticism. Based on this idea, the studio has developed packaging that captures the tones of sunset during this period and transforms them into an enclosure capable of telling a shared story between both disciplines.

The design incorporates sketches of some Fran Silvestre Arquitectos projects in which the movement of the sun has played an essential role in the conception of space. These drawings accompany the watch and allow for the construction of a visual narrative around light, time, and precision, values present in both architecture and watchmaking.

Inside, the watch is presented within personalized packaging featuring elements from both brands, reinforcing the convergence of technical rigor, material sensitivity, and the ability to measure that which, though invisible, transforms our way of inhabiting: the passage of time.

The proposal is conceived from a composition of floor slabs that unfold as white horizontal planes, creating a dynamic and elongated facade through a clear architectural gesture.

This geometric arrangement resolves the dwelling’s siting and varies according to each room and its orientation, blurring the boundaries and articulating a fluid connection between the interior and exterior spaces.

The project, currently under construction, is conceived as a system in which horizontal planes organize the entire program. This condition allows each area to be adapted to its specific needs without losing visual coherence or the lightness of the entire ensemble.

Located in the prestigious Alameda Gabriel Monteiro da Silva in São Paulo, Dell Anno’s new architectural project is progressing in its construction phase. This space is characterized by a large suspended volume that will serve as an urban showcase and an undeniable reference within one of the main avenues dedicated to the city’s design.

The architecture of this work is organized around two superimposed longitudinal bodies. The proportions of this structure, which gradually takes shape on the site, respond directly to the elongated and slender geometry of the plot where the construction works are currently taking place.

Once the construction is finished, the interior design will be conceived as a continuous spatial sequence in which the visitor will discover the premises progressively. Throughout this journey, the route will offer subtle variations in light, scale and materiality that will completely transform the atmosphere of the place.

These architectural elements will intertwine to create a sensory gradient that will accompany each step and guide the perception of the environment. In this way, it is aimed to generate an immersive experience where proportion, depth, and movement will play a leading role from beginning to end.

The result of this ongoing work will be a unique and avant-garde space, capable of expressing with total fidelity the values of precision, sophistication and maximum attention to detail that characterize the brand.

Villa Gaitanes

Photo shoot for a completed project in La Moraleja: Villa Gaitanes

Photo shoot for a completed project in La Moraleja: Villa Gaitanes

15/06/2026

Our studio has completed the photo shoot for Villa Gaitanes, thus continuing the process of documenting and disseminating this project. Photographer Jesús Orrico’s perspective has allowed for the precise capture of the atmosphere and spatial essence of the residence.

The design of this house is based on a volume formed by the addition and subtraction of circular forms from a central rectangular mass, reinterpreting the relationship between geometry and environment. This formal configuration creates spaces for covered and uncovered terraces that embrace the existing natural green landscape on the plot.

The residence is composed of two clearly differentiated volumetric logics: the orthogonality of the central core and the fluidity of the curved geometries. The rectangular mass represents stability and organization, while the circular forms introduce a dynamic dimension that energizes the exterior space. Together, both elements create a balance between solidity and openness.

The organization of this villa is distributed across two levels. On the ground floor, at the level of the main entrance, both the private and social areas are fully developed, prioritizing accessibility and a direct connection with the garden. The lower level houses support areas, services, and facilities in a basement floor which, due to the careful consideration in its implementation, is practically invisible from the plot.

Villa Gaitanes is conceived as a serene space where architecture complements the landscape. The sequence of its terraces, the precision of its geometric composition, and the prominence of the surrounding nature create an experience that invites one to inhabit the place calmly, in a constant balance between the built environment and the natural surroundings.

08/06/2026

Next Tuesday, June 23rd at 7:00 PM, the Courtyard of the Territorial College of Architects of Valencia (CTAV) will host the presentation of the new monograph “Fran Silvestre Arquitectos. Arquitectura 2018–2026”. Edited by TC Cuadernos and focused on “La sublimación de lo cotidiano”, this publication offers a detailed reading on how the studio’s housing projects manage to transform daily routine into a spatial experience.

This book constitutes the first installment of a two-volume series designed to encompass the different scales and scopes of the firm’s work over these years. In the current volume, the focus is on single-family homes, analyzing how the relationship between the work and its surroundings, the mastery of light, and materiality shape the spaces. To contextualize this work, the book features forewords by three leading figures in contemporary architecture: Álvaro Siza, Aires Mateus, and Emilio Tuñón.

During the event, the firm’s trajectory will also be presented, and the launch of the second volume, titled “Large Scale, Interior Design, and Systematization,” will be previewed. This upcoming volume will broaden the scope of the work by incorporating larger-scale projects and developments closely linked to the industrialization of construction processes.

The launch of this publication strengthens the close relationship between the publisher and the architecture firm, whose previous monograph went through four printings. To attend the presentation and learn firsthand about the firm’s technical and design evolution, pre-registration is required, as seating is limited. Sign up here.

Our studio’s project, House in Las Rozas (Madrid, Spain), has been published in issue 205 of the prestigious Japanese magazine GA Houses, where it shares pages with a curated selection of outstanding international projects.

The architectural design of this dwelling is articulated from a clear and essential geometry, defined in floor plan by five circles. While three of them are developed as cylinders to configure the main spaces, a fourth piece hosts the swimming pool and the fifth defines the entrance area, consolidating the structural geometry as the organizing principle of the entire project. In its encounter with the terrain, the architecture assumes the sloped topography through transverse cuts at the base, integrating the unevenness into its own constructive logic. Likewise, the upper cuts respond to the need to incorporate sloped roofs parallel to the contact lines with the ground, achieving total coherence with the surroundings. In contrast, the interior space is organized orthogonally to offer a simple, clear, and direct daily use; a continuous system where structure and space construct a precise, silent, and essential experience.

KOH Samui, Tailandia | FRAN SILVESTRE ARQUITECTOS™

Project in the finishing phase - KOH Samui, Thailand

Project in the finishing phase – KOH Samui, Thailand

18/05/2026

The residential project – KOH in Samui, Thailand, has entered its finishing phase, marking the final stretch for the materialization of this single-family home. Situated on an elevated plot with a steep slope, the architecture seeks to maximize uninterrupted views of the ocean while guaranteeing absolute privacy from neighboring properties. This strategic location allows the house to appear to float above the mountain, establishing an atmosphere of isolation, serenity, and exclusivity in perfect harmony with the island surroundings.

Structurally, the house is defined by a composition of two white horizontal slabs that create an elongated and dynamic facade tailored to the orientation of each room. This clean design conceals a truss system between the floor slabs, allowing for large cantilevers and wide, open spaces without visual interference. Functionally, the construction already reflects its layout across two levels: an upper level conceived as a self-contained unit for daily living—with social areas, the master bedroom, and an infinity pool that merges with the sea—and a lower level reserved for service quarters, a gym, and a second master bedroom.

With the main structure fully completed, current work centers on applying finishes, building services, and interior details, utilizing natural materials and neutral tones that enhance the overall aesthetic. Simultaneously, the organic landscaping, specifically designed to respect the original topography and minimize earthworks, is nearing completion. With this progress in the finishing stage, the interior spaces and landscape-facing bathrooms are definitively blurring the lines between modern architecture and the tropical nature of Koh Samui.
