Fields of practice

The studio works across two complementary fields: building design and spatial planning.

Architecture

Housing, collective residential projects, rehabilitation and public buildings informed by orientation, compactness, solar control, natural ventilation, materials and energy performance.

View architecture projects

Urban planning

Planning, development-area layouts, site studies and urban proposals addressing territorial structure, mobility, landscape, urban function and the regulatory framework.

Design approach

Four starting conditions.

Each intervention begins with four conditions: climate, place, brief and regulations. The aim is spatial precision, technical consistency and environmental suitability, avoiding arbitrary decisions or formal gestures detached from their context.

Climate
02
Place

Regulations

Architecture and urban planning are understood as a balance between use and form, siting and construction, feasibility, durability and environmental suitability.
