Le SFDA.lab répond à la demande d’un groupe scolaire d’inventer un espace cafétéria permettant aux étudiants de se restaurer de manière plus informelle en dehors des heures d’ouvertures du restaurant scolaire. Le projet est pensé comme un espace flexible qui, au-delà de sa fonction de cafétéria, offre de nouveaux usages au groupe scolaire. Adrien Fouéré   Des espaces scolaires flexibles.Le projet s'implante à la jonction d’une construction des années 1970 et d’une extension monolithique qui héberge le lycée. Au delà du besoin énoncé d’une nouvelle cafétéria, il apparait que certains espaces existants comme l... En savoir plus

The primary objective behind the design was to establish a profound connection with nature, maximizing the picturesque views of the backyard and cultivating a serene atmosphere for the inhabitants to escape the hustle and bustle of urban life. Throughout the design, the juxtaposition of untamed nature and a secure, inviting interior is accentuated, steering the overall experience.

Caption Caption The incorporation of clean lines, contemporary architectural elements, and a minimalist design ethos, paired with natural materials, creates a distinctive and tranq... En savoir plus

Casa Kuvo was commissioned to us in 2021 for the coastal locality of Matanzas in Chile, known for its weather conditions that favor the practice of water and wind sports. The brief called for a small unit of only 70 m2, with two bedrooms and two bathrooms, suited for a younger population and preferably spread across two stories to make the most of the views towards the ocean. Manu Granados Manu Granados Manu Granados Volumetrically and chromatically reduced to a white prism of 6 x 6 x 6 m, the outward expression of the house is rather abstract and barren. The compact form has to do with extreme rationalization of the layout in order to maximize the available floor space, while the chromatics enters into a dynamic interplay w... En savoir plus

The project has been defined with two fundamental objectives, on the one hand, its landscape integration in an environment as cared for as that of Garralda and the Aézcoa valley, and, on the other, to achieve the highest housing quality of the proposed homes. Alberto Amores Alberto Amores Alberto Amores After the analysis of the archetypal features of the traditional Basque-Navarrean “Caserío” (farmhouse), it was decided to divide the required program into two volumes, with steeply pitched roofs, whose proportions allow better adaptation to the volumetrics of the area. These two pieces are arranged in opposite directions to promote dialogue with the rural landscape. The choice of materials is sensit... En savoir plus

Le projet vise à augmenter l'expérience corporelle des saunas et des piscines en offrant des transitions subtiles qui créent progressivement une séparation entre la vie quotidienne des visiteurs et les espaces qui s'y trouvent. Ces transitions comprennent des éléments spatiaux tels que des rampes, des gradations de lumière et des matériaux apaisants. La conception met l'accent sur les qualités sensuelles et expérientielles qui permettent aux visiteurs d'être plus physiquement présents et en contact avec leur propre corps. Cesar Bejar L'espace propose des salles privées où les visiteurs peuvent se détendre dans leur propre petit saun... En savoir plus

The island of the sun is located on Lake Titicaca, considered thehighest lake in the world. This island presents great elevation changes in which spaces with different environments and views originate in which the breadth of the lake can be observed. This place is considered a sanctuary dedicated to the God of the Sun. Throughout the island there are some trails that run from north to south through its places, ruins, viewpoints and towns that end at the lowest levels, bordering the shores of the lake. The intervention proposes an extension of these paths, a walk that enters the lake, as if it were the lake itself. The sacred space is incorporated into the lake, integrating into the pre-existing language. The traces of air, water and ligh... En savoir plus
