As part of the celebrations of the 25th anniversary of the International Prize of Catalonia, the pavilion was conceived as a visual catalog of the various stakeholders involved in its long history. The original request, due to reasons of schedule and budget, was to design an exhibition at one of the smaller rooms of the Palau Robert; the will of the exhibition is to give visibility and recognition to the award. The project comes from the conviction that the small budget allocated can actually build a large and notorious space in a central location of the Palau . The challenge is to consolidate and qualify an illuminated and waterproof space, with the minimum possible installation.
Camping Cala Llevadó is one of the most emblematic campsites in Costa Brava. It is situated next to the beaches between Tossa de Mar and Lloret de Mar. The campsite as a client requested us a proposal to put 33 units in a part of virgin forest situated at the tallest part of the camping. The campsite is located at the side of the natural park called “Massís de Cadiretes”. This natural park is formed by mountains of oak, cork and pine trees that are arriving to the sea.
Ceramic in its different shapes is the common element leading us through various spaces, all impregnated with the essence of the Mediterranean: the bar, the kitchen and the patio.
The design project takes off from various starting points:
On one hand the site, unique and challenging in its layout as well as its location, requires a strong solution. We find a locale with a small, narrow façade on a busy street in the Eixample area of Barcelona. The space widens, relaxes and becomes filled with natural light as we cross the characteristic city block of the Eixample area until we reach the patio where the locale opens up onto a large terrace.
A house situated in the heart of the Costa Brava with incredible views to a coast bay.
Costa Brava is different of other coasts because of the big forest slopes next to the sea.
The challenge was to fit a big program in a volume with some formal contrast with the nature of the place. So we propose some cubes placed as if they were randomly thrown, like if they were fallen from the sky, but finally they really derive from the fan-shape of the plot.
La Dolça, the new gastronomic space in Tickets Restaurant, is the result of the successful collaboration of the tandem formed by the chefs Albert and Ferran Adrià and the Iglesias brothers over the past four years. The continued evolution and success of Tickets Restaurant requires an extension, and gives birth to La Dolça, the new space dedicated solely to desserts. For its design the Adrià brothers once again choose EL EQUIPO CREATIVO who designed the original Tickets as well as several of their other gastronomic spaces, like the prize-winning sites 41º Cocktail Bar and the Peruvian-Japanese Pakta Restaurant.
The built complex is located in plot EP-13 of the ‘Ecocity’ of Sarriguren. It is destined to become the new Town hall of the Valley. It meets to a fairly articulated and complex and very detailed programme of requirements, for which a detailed description of the planned uses and distribution by storeys was provided.
The program’s requirements of the project is based on the expectations of the growing number of students of the College, given the evolution of the demand for places. And it is built around the requirements of current legislation, under the specification of the educational project.

The project refers to a new building to house a Cen]tre for Psychosocial Rehabilitation, in a plot located at the Centro Dr. Esquerdo complex, of the municipality of San Juan de Alicante.
In accordance with the Competition technical specifications, the project meets the needs derived from the two entities concurring: on the one hand, a Residence for people with serious mental disorders that do not require hospitalization; on the other the Centre for Social Rehabilitation and Integration (CRIS) and a Day Centre for persons with serious mental disorders.
The location of the proposed new building is set in response to the combination of clear criteria of availability of space with powerful reasons of ease of use, based on the experience of the life of the school.
The fundamental design decisions are deducted in effect, in general, a number of criteria securely fastened in the minds of the property, from their experience. And this experience is nothing other than that which you have provided years of the College and its various buildings and facilities. Such criteria have decided to check the location of this new construction, according to their functional efficacy in terms of use of the land, organizational coherence, order, and optimizing the circulation, spatial sequence, and above all the desire of minimizing interference from the new building to the daily operation of the existing complex built of the school has played a special role.

Novopie Podiatric Clinic is located in Torrox, a Malaga town, with the tourist slogan: ‘the best weather in Europe’. It is placed in a small shop of 18 square meters, on the ground floor of a residential building, inside of a coastal development built in the seventies.
Although the space is limited, the needs are the same than in a regular podiatric clinic: WAITING ROOM, WORKING ROOM and a BATHROOM as basic program. We proposed as additional program a WAREHOUSE, a STOREFRONT and a SHOWER.
