ARCHITECTURE AND DESIGN STUDIO
CASA NORDÉS
Casa Nordés is conceived as a contemporary retreat where architecture seeks a balance between sobriety, warmth, and connection with nature. The project is defined by a precise, horizontal volume, clad in brick and wood, which expresses solidity and serenity through its restrained language.
The interior layout responds to an idea of fluidity and transparency: the ground floor opens to the garden and interior courtyards through large windows that blur the boundaries between inside and outside, while the upper level houses the private spaces oriented towards intimacy and light. The constant relationship with the landscape makes natural light the protagonist, modulating the atmosphere and revealing the textures of each surface.
The concept of Casa Nordés stems from the search for a balance between openness and protection, between geometric precision and livable warmth. Every spatial and material decision reinforces this duality, generating a quiet and timeless architecture, where compositional clarity and connection with the environment translate into a daily experience of calm and contemplation.

LIQUID STONE HOUSE
Deep in the mountains of northern Spain, an old stone house has been transformed into a contemporary retreat that exudes calm, understated elegance, and sophistication. Piedra Líquida (Liquid Stone) is the name of this architectural intervention that honors the site's history while projecting a new way of living, where matter and light converse harmoniously.
The renovation begins with a pre-existing structure of masonry walls, preserved and reinterpreted as witnesses to the past. The extension, executed with geometric precision, is articulated through volumes of clean lines and noble materials that contrast with, yet blend seamlessly into, the original structure. The result is a home that doesn't seek to impose itself on the environment, but rather to integrate with it through a quiet and profoundly sensory aesthetic.
The interior design, conceived as a natural extension of the architecture, is based on a palette of grays, blacks, and organic textures. The furniture, continuous surfaces, and soft lighting create introspective atmospheres, where every corner invites contemplation. Large glazed openings allow the landscape to permeate the space, blurring the boundaries between interior and exterior, and making nature an active part of the domestic experience.
Liquid Stone is not just a renovated house: it is a statement of principles on how to intervene in existing structures with respect, sensitivity, and a contemporary vision. An example of how architecture can be both memory and future.

LUUM STUDIO
This project reflects a perfect fusion of sophistication and serenity, designed to offer an immersive sensory experience. The concept is based on a palette of neutral and warm tones, where beiges, sands, and creams predominate, creating a soft and welcoming atmosphere.
The space is organized through organic shapes and curved lines that convey harmony and movement. Architectural arches act as visual transitions between areas, adding fluidity and depth. Contemporary designer furniture, with matte finishes and soft textures, is combined with natural elements such as pampas grass and plant fibers, reinforcing the connection with nature.
The carefully considered ambient lighting uses warm, indirect light and suspended spherical lamps that enhance the minimalist and elegant aesthetic of the space. Backlit mirrors not only visually expand the space but also add a touch of understated and functional luxury.
This project seeks to balance functionality, aesthetics, and well-being, offering an environment where every detail has been designed to inspire calm, beauty, and comfort.

CASA LINHA
This architectural work embodies the perfect symbiosis between modernity and Portuguese tradition. It showcases a residential structure with clean lines and geometric forms, rising elegantly within a carefully designed setting. The façade combines contemporary materials with traditional elements, evoking Portugal's architectural heritage.
The color palette is a visual celebration of Portuguese culture: luminous whites that bring serenity, soft grays that suggest sophistication, and colorful accents. These tones not only decorate but also tell a story of identity and belonging.
Outside, open courtyards with native vegetation, refreshing water features, and shaded areas invite relaxation. The interior spaces, visible through large windows, reveal a functional and aesthetically pleasing layout: contemporary designer furniture, warm lighting, and handcrafted details that connect with tradition.
The project conveys a holistic architectural experience, where every corner has been designed to harmonize modern comfort with the rich cultural heritage of the past. It is a visual invitation to explore a space where architecture is not only inhabited, but felt and lived.

VALLEY REFUGE
In this residence of clean lines and Mediterranean soul, the architecture becomes a bridge between modern comfort and the timeless beauty of the landscape. The main living spaces unfold outwards through large windows, blurring the boundaries between the built environment and nature.
The color palette, dominated by neutral tones and noble materials such as wood and stone, reinforces the serene atmosphere. The wooden slat cladding adds rhythm and warmth, while the furnishings invite contemplation and connection.
Every element has been carefully selected to harmonize with the surroundings. This house is not just inhabited, it is breathed. It is an ode to architecture that understands luxury as simplicity, and design as a way of living in harmony with the landscape.

COSTA BRÉTEMA BUNGALOW PARK
This project invites you to immerse yourself in an architectural experience where simplicity becomes sophistication and nature becomes an inseparable design partner. Simple geometric structures and clean lines define the minimalist architecture of this enclave, whose dark buildings act as elegant guardians that blend gracefully into the surrounding natural environment, inspired by Galician flora.
The facade of each bungalow, with its dark hue, becomes an artistic reflection of the surrounding landscape. The buildings' reflective surfaces, strategically placed, not only enhance the aesthetics but also masterfully merge the structures with the surrounding nature.
Inside these retreats, the influence of Scandinavian style is evident through the choice of natural materials and the simplicity of the design. Large windows flood the spaces with natural light, while the furnishings and finishes invite a deeper connection with the serenity of the surroundings.
This contemporary sanctuary offers a refuge where every detail, both inside and out, becomes part of a visual narrative that highlights the beauty of simplicity in perfect harmony with its natural environment.

ECHOES OF GREEN
In this project, geometric simplicity defines the character of the space and engages in dialogue with the serenity of green, a hue that evokes nature, calm, and balance. More than just a chromatic resource, green functions as a conceptual axis, unifying the environment and providing a sense of well-being that envelops the user.
Each piece of furniture has been conceived as an element with its own identity, where form, material, and color construct a coherent narrative. The green palette manifests in varying intensities, adding visual depth and reinforcing the connection with the organic, without losing sight of the overall functionality.
Clean lines coexist with bolder forms, generating a subtle contrast that energizes the space. A passion for the visual arts is naturally integrated into the design, influencing the composition and the overall aesthetic, and giving rise to a contemporary environment that invites contemplation, relaxation, and connection with nature.

ORBIS RESIDENCE
This work is defined by a composition of strict geometric clarity and a deliberate renunciation of all ornamental gestures. The absence of artifice foregrounds the precision of the project, where poetry emerges from the measured relationship between proportions, scale, and materiality. Each element has been conceived from a logic of formal restraint, allowing the architecture to express itself through its own structure and order.
The selection of materials—bronze, steel, and fine woods—responds to a criterion of quality and permanence, underscored by impeccable execution and meticulous attention to detail. The surfaces, junctions, and finishes reveal a high degree of technical control, contributing depth and sensory richness without resorting to superfluous elements. The result is a work of understated and timeless beauty, where the harmony of forms and material coherence construct an elegant, precise, and enduring language.

NAUTILUS SEAFOOD
This seafood restaurant is based on a clearly defined and carefully considered design concept, where the marine world is interpreted in an abstract and contemporary way. Every design decision responds to a conceptual logic that articulates space, materiality, and atmosphere, moving away from literal references to build a solid and coherent identity.
The spatial organization, lighting, and color palette work together to evoke the depth and movement of the sea, creating an immersive and serene experience. The furniture, with its clean lines, and the suspended artistic elements are integrated as an essential part of the design system, contributing rhythm, lightness, and visual continuity.
The result is a project where architecture and interior design are understood as a whole, in which each element fulfills a precise role within a well-structured concept, reinforcing the gastronomic experience through thoughtful and contemporary design.

Memphis Store
The project explores the relationship between personal style and the architecture of the spaces we inhabit. Conceived as an imaginary store, the proposal seeks to materialize ideas through spatial composition, where forms, colors, and textures intertwine in contrast, maintaining a unified language and aesthetic coherence.
Each element—from the geometry of the volumes to the arrangement of the products and the selection of materials—responds to a logic of balance and attention to detail. The diversity of styles coexists within a framework of simplicity and elegance, generating a sensory journey that transforms a visit into a comprehensive architectural experience.
The store's various corners function as stages where form, light, and materiality converse, revealing how architecture can translate abstract concepts into tangible experiences. The proposal demonstrates that a space not only houses objects but also amplifies perception, emotion, and imagination, showing that architecture can be simultaneously functional, poetic, and expressive.
