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.

In a recent publication that celebrates the most innovative and avant-garde architecture, our studio’s “Casa Piera” project has been highlighted in the prestigious book “Spain Best Architecture Korea”. 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. Through a multi-phase eliminatory process, each work was evaluated based on its design, innovation, and contribution to the architectural and urban environment.

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 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.

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.
