Our slideshow is in the front page of Dwell. On the print version, we are in the “Houses we Love” section. Coolness. I love, love Dwell… and they are awesome to deal with, on top of it.


THAT is a bottle of Prado Enea Muga 1982 a Rioja Gran Reserva that we’ve had for years. We had very good reasons to open it. We just won our fifth TSA design award! It was GREAT, both the wine and the winning:-)

This video explores how the use of film as a research tool in architecture informed the students’ projects and changed them. The students achieved a completely different relationship to the site by the use of documentary [...]

See if you can spot the kids with balloons and the dog (in the sketches.)
MJ and I have gone into macrobiotics lately, we [...]
