PROFESSIONAL VISION

​

Comprehensive approach to architectural projects. Commitment in every stage of a project development: from design conceptualization  until construction details.

​

 

DESIGN GUIDELINES

​

 

FLEXIBILITY

Architecture subject to change and conceived to be functional under several circumstances of use.  Form is not overly fixed to a function.

​

SOBRIETY

Unpretentious architecture.   Without the duty to be what it is not. Use of materials as they are; raw and no makeup.

​

LIGHTNESS

Architecture no massive and not invasive, that reinforces our sense of impermanence.

 

INTEGRATION

Multiplication of transitions between the inside and the outside. Allowing nature to invade the built environment.

​

BIOCLIMATISM

Use of passive climate strategies.

​

ECONOMY

Avoid  superfluous.  Understand the socio-economic context where we live, making the most of the budget available, even if it is very limited.

​

INNOVATION

Constant effort to put into practice non-traditional construction methods and materials, starting with the personalized design of each architectural detail.
