Project • By Raul Sanchez Architects • Apartments
Apartment Tibbaut
The project is carried out in an underground space near the sea, with barely any outside lighting and in serious humidity conditions. However, the interior of the simply-built, very small structure — barely 55m2 — had a real monumental look, presided over by two octagonal stone pillars from which domes and vaults rise to cover the space and bear the weight of the upper floors.
The client had requested the creation of an open-floor space. However, this monumentality, coupled with the shortage of natural light and view to the outdoors, led to another proposal. The single-space concept could be maintained but with greater spatial complexity, by overlapping and intersecting two living spaces: a central, common, multipurpose space and a peri... More

Pocket Glass KLEIN®
Pocket Glass KLEIN® is a sliding door system specially designed for recessed fittings in the ceiling and make them invisible. It allows to structure the space by a sliding frameless glass panel without any track on the floor to maximize space and meet accessibility.

PANORAMIC glazed interior partition walls for flexibility and transparency in offices
Imagine a truly seamless sliding glass wall system, one without frames or visible tracks.
Ideal for office spaces, the PANORAMIC system creates both a series of glass-enclosed offices or a single central meeting space. It resolves all points of connection with drop ceilings and 90º joinings, allowing you to quickly create elegant glass spaces. If acoustic privacy is one of your priorities, choose the recessed, double glazed glass option.

DEZANOVE HOUSE - mirando ás bateas
This dwelling is located in the Arousa estuary, Spain. It stands out for the use of recycled wood from the local fishing industry. It is also a reference thanks to its energy efficiency and the careful integration of the building systems into the architectural design. It is no surprise that it has obtained the highest energy efficiency rating.
The very old wood used in the construction comes from the recycling of local “bateas”. These are wooden platforms placed at sea and used in the mussel production industry. The wood used in this unique local fishing technique is exposed to the sea and coastal weather for over 25 years before being sent to recycling normally for vineyards or gardening. The use of this wood in architecture is pioneer.... More
