New project completed | House on the air
Zahara de los Atunes is one of those places where the ordinary becomes exceptional. Every day has its sunrise and sunset, but the way it happens in this unique place is difficult to describe.
With this starting point, the architecture is arranged almost like a mechanism to protect ourselves while capturing the spectacle offered by our surroundings.
Due to its sloping terrain, the structure appears as a piece of architecture deposited in the environment. The site is prepared with a sort of foundation made from the grey tonality of the stones found in the surroundings; in fact, the name Zahara comes from the Arabic Sahara, which could be translated as a “rocky place”. This foundation allows the house to be settled at the necessary level to ensure the view of the sunset reflection in the surface of the Atlantic Ocean. At the opposite side, we find a quiet courtyard that provides shelter for the strong winds of Tarifa, this courtyard also leads to the complementary rooms of the house. As if the upper floor was dropped over the plinth, the residence is divided into three areas. The main area is the living room. Entirely passing between the northwest, where the magical sunset takes place, and the southeast where no structural element interferes with the interior space and the landscape. On both sides are the night areas with the same orientation. This arrangement balances the structure and gives privacy to the main room.
A simple architecture embedded in a place where any sensitive observer will be able to enjoy all the colours.

Aluminum House. Set of the movie Awareness
Aluminum House. Set of the movie Awareness
The Aluminum House project has been selected as one of the sets in the upcoming film titled “Awareness.” The film is one of the great Spanish premieres of the year, it can now be seen on Prime Video. Directed by Daniel Benmayor, its cast includes well-known faces such as María Pedraza, Carlos Scholz and Pedro Alonso.
The project consists of a horizontal, metallic piece, producing the effect of having a single floor. It contrasts and blends in due to its proportion and materiality with the tall trees in the surroundings.
The scale of the house is moderated thanks to understanding the day area as a plinth that emerges with the same natural stone that urbanizes part of the plot.
The night area is placed on this base, focusing on the views to the north and south, protecting itself from neighboring gazes, generating shaded terraces where you can enjoy the outdoors.
A substantially square plan is drawn, which brings together a broad program in a compact way. The staircase and the centered interior atrium distribute the rooms, hierarchizing uses, with all spaces opening to the garden.

Visit to Casa Sabater | Architecture Week 2023
Visit to Casa Sabater | Architecture Week 2023
El Colegio Territorial de Arquitectos de Alicante celebra la Semana de la Arquitectura, con actividades abiertas a toda la ciudadanía y organizadas del 26 de septiembre al 4 de octubre de 2023.
This year also sees the premiere of the OPEN ALC festival, which consists of a series of guided visits to some architectural pieces that are part of Alicante and the province. These visits are open to all citizens and have been designed in order to review the good design and quality architecture that exists in Alicante.
Our studio will open the doors of one of the latest recent projects, Casa Sabater. The project located in a small town on the Costa Blanca emerges as a piece of contemporary architecture in the shape of a double Y.
The house, which is presented as a continuous dialogue with the exterior, consists of four architectural elements that descend, adapting to the slope of the land and that suggest the geometries that we often find in nature. These geometries, in turn, seek to overcome the vegetation of the plot in order to preserve it. The implementation delimits three different areas: the access, as a porch, the private atmosphere of the rooms facing the hillside and the space that opens to the landscape.
Each volume frames a part of the privileged environment, generating a sequence of landscapes that blur among the vegetation, generating the impression of having no limits and offering uninterrupted views of the surrounding forest and the sea from each of its rooms.

NIU Houses will present different models of fully furnished homes, with the garden and pool executed in the Valencian town of Godella within a unique architectural space that allows the general public to visit the fully finished houses on a full scale.
Porcelanosa, internationally known for its excellence in the manufacturing and marketing of flooring and wall coverings, exhibits its innovative facades made using Solid Surface, as well as other innovative materials. Gandía Blasco Group, for its part, will echo through this full-scale showroom its elegant line of outdoor furniture, fitting perfectly into different house models and giving attendees a complete vision of the integration of design and functionality in outdoor environments.

It mentions one of our recent works, Roca Views Ibiza, a project that faces the challenge of integrating into a steeply sloping terrain in Roca Llisa, Ibiza. The magazine also shows The Sphinx project located in Egypt, which it indicates seeks to transcend the structural limits of the architectural cantilever, as well as the emblematic House on the cliff project.
It also mentions the influence of collaborations and family background in engineering as factors that contribute to the study’s own methodology and mentions the study’s multidisciplinary team, which seeks to face new challenges and adapt to more sustainable ways of living in the future.

New project finished; NIU N320
New project finished; NIU N320
With its large windows and two porches that face opposite directions, this is the ideal home to bring the outdoors in, with maximum comfort.
This is an extremely spacious two-story home that follows the classic distribution of day time areas on the first floor and night time areas on the upper floor.
The first floor contains the living-dining room and kitchen, separated by the service and communication core. The living spaces are extended outwards with two generous covered terraces.
These terraces, located on opposite sides of the home, provide protection from the sun and rain, thus allowing year-round enjoyment of this connection to the outdoors.
On the upper floor, four double bedrooms —one with an en-suite— open onto a large terrace that overlooks the porch. With large glass panes running its entire length, the second floor is bathed in light.

Under construction | Villa 18, The Trilogy
Under construction | Villa 18, The Trilogy
The Villa is organized in three volumes of different heights arranged organically on irregular platforms. Its perimeters of curved walls are connected, generating empty spaces that give rise to patios in which various uses are developed.
Each of the volumes is configured according to the function it contains, the first for the most public area, another for the most private areas and the last for the service area. The interior rooms, which are closed only when strictly necessary, open up to the unique views that transform this villa into a unique place with multiple settings.
