The Spanish Association against Cancer needed a space to develop their social purpose. In order to refurbish the premises, we stepped away from the cold environment of a hospital and used warm materials and a brise-soleil as a dividing element. The configuration of the space was flexible but functional to the different activities that can…
This project gets inspired by the volumetric characteristics and the materiality of the old city of Assilah, reinterpreting them in a contemporaneous language. The floor of the different rooms is optimised to showviews of the sea in each facade. Location: Partners in charge: Julia Herrera, Carolina Rivera y Alberto Aranega, Team members: Elena Guevara, Jorge…
This project starts with two raw apartments in Arosa, a ski station in Switzerland, that must be converted into a single duplex apartment.

A 3 floor residential building is designed where a small traditional Spanish house used to stand. We managed to fit one apartment per floor featuring exclusive spaces, despite the reduced dimensions. The inner patio becomes a decorative element with a contemporary brise-soleil that filters the view, controls lighting, and gives an iconic character to the…

Also we reconfigure the façades to be neutral so that they will…
The project starts from the idea of reconverting two old stables to be sold to polo teams, so we decided to design it in a contemporary yet modest way, giving the subsequent owner the ability to add their own personality, whilst maintaining the subtle gestures of the identity seen throughout the Polo Valley complex. The…
Transforming an anonymous property in a mall into a space with self identity was the biggest challenge of this project. In this pharmacy, all walls act as a second skin of comercial exhibitors, configuring the space with the help of some central elements of a different materiality that work as counters. Location: Next Shopping Centre,…
This holiday home is planned in a prime location in Costa del Sol, beside the Calanova golf course, and offers stunning views of the Mountains of Mijas and the Alboran Sea. Only a few scattered villas and a residential complex are also part of the colonization of the landscape. To make the most of it,…
