San Ignacio is a renovation and addition project of a house located in the state of Nayarit in Mexico. The client’s requirement was to renovate the existing building that harbored the rooms, which were in very poor conditions, and the construction of two new volumes, one that could function as a flexible space for photo shoots and different creative expressions, and the second as an outdoor living space that would allow a direct relationship with the pool.
Our proposal consisted of two main actions: the alteration of the existing house and the configuration of the central courtyard with the construction of the two new volumes.
The reconversion of an old parking space into a loft is a project whose goal was to achieve an extremely intimate space, a shell of kindness, love and protection, frozen in time, to hide, relax and enjoy, far from ordinary life.
It is Located on the slopes of Montjuic in Barcelona.
The closeness to Refugio 307, bomb shelter tunnels built to protect citizens during the Spanish civil war is not casual and appear to be an appropriate metaphor.
A flagship in the city hostelry industry and a space that, through design, has managed to forge an identity in its spaces. This is what Palocortado offers in a new space at Puerto Banus, which is modulated throughout the day to move from a signature gastronomic proposal, where the product is the protagonist, to a place where you can stop time in the middle of the afternoon to savor notes of chocolate and champagne, under the reflections of a soft and relaxed light.
Santes Creus is the capital of the municipality of Aiguamúrcia. It is located on the left bank of the Gaià river, around the Real Monestir de Santa Maria de Santes Creus, one of the jewels of 12th century Cistercian art in Catalonia. Created in 1843 in the old monastery buildings, the town includes places of interest related to the monastic building such as the stone bridge, the Gothic cross, the small Baroque church of Santa Llúcia and the old modernist cooperative winery. Following the main street, which leads to the monastery, on the detour from where the Aiguamúrcia road leaves, there is the well-known Alameda de Santes Creus, unique as a riverside forest in all of Catalonia, declared a space of natural interest.
The project arises from the need of clients to create a refuge near Madrid where they could get away from their busy lives in the city center. The plot and its location almost completely determine the design of the house. A small plot located within a pine forest with a 12 meter height difference and views to the valley to the South. These conditions were the beginning of the project: be able to enjoy the views of the forest from every room in the house, minimal intervention of the area and main orientation towards the South.
The house is a continuous space where the rooms are generated from a single surface. This surface is broken to adapt to the geography of the plot and to generate the different rooms or modules; therefore, each room has a different orientation and opening towards the forest with the idea of creating a distorted and un-homogeneous space. Volumetrically it consists of a single floor, sectioned into several levels, with a gabled roof that volumetrically creates geometric, quasi-parametric encounters.
After more than 40 years living in the same apartment, the owner, a retired woman, decides to completely transform her home. This exercise would involve a complete transformation of her lifestyle, still anchored in a past that she was hard to leave behind. On the one hand, the owner needed a new space of her own that would respond to her current situation, far removed from that shared by the entire family in the past. On the other, it was necessary to accommodate the thousands of objects accumulated after almost half a century of memories that needed to find a place from which to claim their prominent role in her personal history.
Masquespacio presents its latest project in Valencia for Living Bakkali.
Living Bakkali, like the restaurant’s name expresses is a place to live sensorial experiences both for the palate as well as for the tact and the vision. Inspired by the Middle East the design wishes to take you to the most profound part of the dessert, connecting you with a marvelous environment for many unknown and full of mystery.
This way the project initially is presented through a layout of the different areas that recreate small corners like if you were at the fantastic Orient with its lounge seats that invite the different diner groups to relax and connect with each other, while they enjoy the creative dishes from Living Bakkali. At the same time the diner will be curious to discover what the other corners of the place hide, partially revealed through the different windows in the style of Arabic architecture.
Casa La Calderona is located in Vernejo, a town located on the outskirts of the town of Cabezón de la Sal (Cantabria). The origin of the work is part of an execution project that has little to do with the final result. Actually, that project defined formal and programmatic issues, and it was during its execution that the design was really finalized. The work was managed by its promoters, an active part in an open and collaborative process. In its evolution, issues that have to do with economic and environmental sustainability have prevailed.
The project for this newly built Private Terminal proposes a clear and decisive geometry defined by a single volume (120 x 47 meters) in which the exterior metallic materiality that surrounds the building unifies its various functions and structures.
This skin, which in some areas is micro-perforated to allow natural light to enter the interior, gives the project a unitary industrial appearance, whilst being dynamic and variable changing according to time and sunlight.
The house is located in a special enclave, surrounded by nature, which is part of a small town in the outskirts of the city of Valladolid. The area is unique because of its proximity to the Esgueva Valley and the Duero Canal so framing the landscape was one of the main objectives of the project.
The project embraces the scenery around it. Large windows open up directly to its surroundings and frame the local pine trees.
