New project | Dominio D’Echauz Winery
02/05/2025
In the quiet interior of Castilla, an architectural piece emerges—not one that imposes itself, but one that gently settles into the landscape. More than a typical winery, it is conceived as a place for the research and recovery of ancestral grape varieties.
This is a space where, through a process of microvinification, small experimental productions are crafted to evaluate the potential of forgotten or unclassified vines. Like a kind of winemaking Noah’s Ark, the winery not only hosts the research of Vitis Navarra but also safeguards and preserves the genetic biodiversity of grapevines in Spain, including species that still survive on the margins of the landscape and time.
The architecture gently rests on the topography of Zayas de Báscones, blending with the geometries of the land and the slow rhythm of cultivation. The two curved walls that structure the winery are inspired by the layout of the surrounding vineyards and their terrain, generating an enclosure that defines the space and allows it to be built in a natural way.
The longitudinal layout of the proposal follows the sequence of the wine production process: from the arrival of the grapes and destemming, through fermentation in steel tanks, aging in oak barrels, and finally, bottling. This linear path expands at specific points to integrate a social and tasting area, as well as spaces dedicated to research and storage, always maintaining the functional logic of the winemaking process. These walls, built with hempcrete blocks—a mix of plant fibers, lime, and water—laid on edge, gain greater structural inertia thanks to their curved geometry and are reinforced by a lightweight, single-pitch metal roof. All construction elements are unified through a continuous projection of white Diathonite, a natural cork-based mortar used on walls, floors, and ceilings. This system not only contributes to a unified and natural appearance but also provides significant thermal inertia, essential for maintaining stable interior conditions and supporting the optimal development of the wine during its aging process.
The Basajaun collection, named after the mythological figure who protected the forest, represents a space of transition: between what is known and what is yet to be discovered, between the agrarian past and a new way of understanding the relationship between architecture, nature, and wine culture. It is not only about storing wine, but about preserving life, diversity, and memory. A contemporary refuge for the ancient wisdom of the vine.

New Project Under Construction in Cambrils
New Project Under Construction in Cambrils
28/04/2025
The studio’s new project in Cambrils is now under construction. The design is configured as a superposition of two bold volumes, with a slight shift in the first floor that creates covered terraces and orients the upper floor toward views of the Mediterranean Sea.
Two opaque faces of each volume serve as structural supports, allowing the façades to be completely freed and opened toward the garden through large windows that emphasize the horizontal nature of the composition.

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.

The renowned Valencian artist Antonio Camaró, named by UNESCO as “the painter of harmony and peace among civilizations,” has visited our studio and gave us a very special gift: a personalized artwork for each member of the team.
Camaró holds a degree in Fine Arts from the Polytechnic School of San Carlos in Valencia and has complemented his education with studies in Image and Sound, as well as in Social and Cultural Anthropology. 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.

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.
