We are an architecture practice based in Barcelona. Our work grows through an open process, a dialogue in constant transformation, where each project evolves with time and place.

Shaped by a dual heritage, Spanish and Japanese, we draw from different cultural traditions that enrich our vision of architecture. Our designs are inspired by the rhythms of nature, the atmosphere of cities, and the changing life of those who inhabit them, always with a pursuit of beauty.

From intimate spaces to large urban projects, we seek clarity and continuity while embracing change. For us, architecture is a living fabric that connects people, places, and moments, permanence and transformation.
