"Each new situation requires a new architecture"
Jean Nouvel
YANSHENG HOUSE
In a privileged and unique location, this house was designed for a client of Chinese origin. In a rigid lot and context we take the Yansheng Coin as the generating element of the concept.
The house became its own wall so as not to have a perimeter wall and to be fully exposed to the environment, however its shape, gardens, materials and spatial qualities make this house an open building in perfect dialogue with the city.
Location: Palm Beach, Aruba
MILESTONE HOUSE
On this lot with two existing cottages, extreme topography and tight spaces, the client requested a new cottage.
The proposal based on the client's requirements, is designed in harmony with the levels and the function, resulting in an accessible house with different spaces and amenities with, without a doubt, one of the best views of the island.
This new project represents a milestone in the architecture of homes in Curacao, a harmonious game of design and engineering.

CONCORDIA BUILDING
This four-story residential and commercial building rises at one of Curaçao’s most interesting urban intersections.
The building establishes a harmonious and respectful dialogue with the city, expressed through the composition of its spaces, elements, lines, and volumes. The architectural integration of its residential, commercial, and public areas—conceived as an added value for the community—emerges as a natural response that flows seamlessly into the surrounding urban context.
To create architecture is to create a city.

YU HOUSE
In the search for a different architecture to be seen on the Island of Aruba, this client asks us for something different but without losing the elegance of the straight lines and the noble materials to use.
The orientation of the lot according to the sun and the wind gave us unique guidelines to develop this house with numerous areas that could present a very heavy aspect.
However, complying with the required spaces, the treatment of the facades, lines, materials and the bioclimatic factor allowed us to achieve a design where the fluidity of light and lightness is unique and pleasant.
TERRACE HOUSE
The view, sun and wind were the factors that shaped this small and cozy home over a softly hill.
The need to live more outdoors, client main requirement, gave us a simple concept of inverting the usual spaces and functions of the house.
