The city of Valencia is preparing this September to be an international showcase, driven by a series of exceptional events that will surround the next edition of the Valencia Furniture Fair.

This year, the collaboration between prominent brands Porcelanosa, Gandia Blasco Group, Range Rover and NIU Houses promises to elevate the design and decoration experience to an unprecedented level through a full-scale showroom where each brand will display its products in an innovative way and in a realistic environment.

This full-scale showroom will offer notable advantages over conventional fairs, providing visitors with complete immersion in an authentic environment. The products will be presented in everyday use situations, allowing direct interaction that will allow details such as design and quality to be experienced first-hand.

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. Range Rover will highlight its luxury and design alongside homes, presenting its vehicles in a context that will enhance its image.

The event will take place on September 21, at 7:30 p.m. at Cami de Camarena 66, Godella, Valencia, where you can enjoy a special evening accompanied by good music and a cocktail courtesy of the brands.

The article highlights the trajectory of the studio and the constant research around the limits.

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.

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

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.

This distinction places our design on an international pedestal, demonstrating the studio’s ability to innovate and create spaces that challenge the limits of contemporary architecture.

The jury for the Spain-Korea Best Architecture 2023 award, made up of a series of renowned professors of architecture and urbanism from various Korean universities, selected the most outstanding works from more than 150 projects.

PHOTOSHOOTING | COMPLUVIUM HOUSE

PHOTOSHOOTING
COMPLUVIUM HOUSE

17/07/2023

The Greeks, as well as the Etruscans and the Romans used compluvium in aristocratic dwellings to lead rainwater to the impluvium. This opening, which was made in the center of the domus, was initially used to vent the smoke from the fires made in the homes. Over time, this aperture kept growing in proportion favoring the lighting, the ventilation of the rooms and the collection of water that was carried out in the impluvium.

We like to think of this house located in the center of Madrid as an interpretation of this element, which also grants privacy to the house from neighboring buildings. The rooms open out to the interior space, the opposing spaces allow an axial vision throughout the plot.

With this mechanism it is sought that the house meets the duality of having a very open spatiality and simultaneously a bounded perception of space.

This element allows to have a wide exterior space whose shadow evolves throughout the day. Inside this area there is a water sheet located at the only point of the place where the distant views escape above the neighboring houses.

New project finished | Álamo House

NEW PROJECT FINIHED
ÁLAMO HOUSE

07/07/2023

The proposal, located in Madrid, is built on a plot with a significant elevation and an escape towards the landscape on its diagonal direction. The impossibility of accommodating the entire program on a single floor makes a two-level design necessary for the house.

However, we strive to create a sense of continuity through the openings. We like to envision the house as a solid mass, from which these openings are carved out, creating a piece with a dynamic narrative.

Its position on the northern part of the plot allows for the creation of an entry courtyard.

The extension of the interior pavement, which transitions into a terrace and ultimately a pool, outlines a sort of cloister. This, together with the interior of the house, forms a square area, intentionally classic in its design. Internally, the layout is divided between the overlapping area in the north and a section that extends on the ground floor in the west.

The materiality serves as a blank canvas that allows it to stand the test of time without becoming obsolete. A project sketched years ago, that continues to satisfy us today.

HOMES FOR OUR TIME. TASCHEN

Our project House of Sand has been selected to be part of the book “Homes for Our Time. Contemporary Houses around the World” by the renowned publisher Taschen. This residence is located facing the Mediterranean Sea, in a location where an imposing sand dune protects the coastline from storms. This unique environment has been a key factor in shaping the project. The house is composed of two volumes arranged perpendicularly to each other.

This meticulous global compendium presents an exquisite selection of new homes from around the world. The book, curated by architects and enriched with photographs and floor plans, showcases works by renowned authors such as Shigeru Ban, MVRDV, and Marcio Kogan, alongside promising names like Aires Mateus, Xu Fu-Min, Vo Trong Nghia, Desai Chia, and Shunri Nishizawa. You can find the book here.

One is a collection of trays that, starting from the pure form of a circle, express movement and dynamism.

These stone-molded pieces of different diameters explore the maximum capacity for lightness of the material. With a flat supporting surface on their upper side and a gentle curve on their lower side, the trays exhibit a geometry that facilitates handling thanks to their ergonomics.
