Our project for a carecentre for children is located in the rural area of Porcheresse. This verdant and remote area, situated between the woods, fields and streams of the Condroz, offers exceptional qualities for the reception of young people with autism spectrum disorder. The competition itself called for a separate pavilion to be built next to the existing centre. However, in order to preserve as much as possible of the beautiful domain, we proposed to blend the added programme into the existing building by means of two extensions. These take the form of two semicircles and round off the existing building, establishing a narrow connection with the park. Continue reading Label architecture

Es así que el proyecto para la Capilla en Carrecalzada comienza a materializarse a partir de la ruta del Camino de Santiago. Continue reading Montes . Fernández . Coulleri

Casa na Caniçada is located in a densely wooded area next to the Caniçada reservoir, in Vieira do Minho (Portugal). In the outer space, the intervention was minimized in order to preserve the density of the vegetation, ensuring the feeling of protection provided by the natural surroundings of the land.
