01 / Essence

Peace made space.
Light turned into matter.
A human footprint that walks alongside Gaia.

We design with respect for place, attention to materials and a commitment to permanence. Each piece seeks to nurture the relationship between those who inhabit it and the landscape that receives it.

The essential piece

The retreat

Small outdoor architectures conceived as a threshold between intimacy and landscape. Each retreat is designed for its setting, its purpose and the way its owner wishes to inhabit it.

01

Geometry for each place

We do not begin with a fixed form. Each retreat emerges from its landscape, the existing architecture, its intended use and the needs of those who will inhabit it.

02

Passive comfort

Shade, openness and natural airflow designed to accompany the Mediterranean climate.

03

Designed with you

Form, dimensions, openings, materials and finishes are developed specifically for each project.

Material and permanence

Made to live
outdoors.

The first piece combines a protected outdoor structure with a fir envelope finished to preserve the timber and its natural expression.

01 / Structure

Pressure-treated pine

Use Class 4 fungicidal and insecticidal protection, intended for demanding outdoor exposure and frequent contact with moisture.

02 / Envelope

Protected fir

The outer cladding receives a natural, environmentally conscious wood stain with UV filtering to help preserve the timber from sunlight.

03 / First piece

Ø 3.2 m · 3 m high

A generous interior comfortably accommodating four people at rest.

04 / Bespoke

Every retreat is different

Form, dimensions, capacity, openings and finishes can be developed specifically for each setting and each way of inhabiting it.

We do not offer a catalogue of models. We design a retreat for each place.

From within

The landscape becomes part of the retreat.

Inhabit

Inside, the landscape
changes its rhythm.

Shade, airflow and the closeness of timber create an open intimacy: a place to pause without becoming separated from the surroundings.

02 / Craft

Material
remembers.

More than twenty years working with timber, restoration and construction—including the exacting precision of marine joinery—have taught us something simple: before giving form, one must listen. This craft brings precision of fit, intelligent use of space and an attention to detail intended to endure.

03 / Each place

We design for
different ways of inhabiting.

Each commission begins with the place itself. We observe its architecture, orientation, landscape and purpose to develop a piece that belongs there.

01

Private homes and estates

Retreats for gardens, terraces and private landscapes in which to rest, gather or contemplate.

02

Hotels and rural retreats

Distinctive spaces that enrich the guest experience and strengthen the character of each property.

03

Architecture and landscape

Bespoke collaborations integrated into residential, hospitality and landscape projects.

04

Wellbeing and contemplation

Places dedicated to pausing, reading, care and a more conscious relationship with the surroundings.

04 / The commission

From a conversation,
a place emerges.

  1. 01

    Visit

    The process begins with a site visit to understand the space, access, light and landscape.

  2. 02

    Design

    Form, dimensions, capacity, openings and finishes are developed with each client.

  3. 03

    Craft

    Every piece is made to order. Design and fabrication times depend on the complexity of the project.

  4. 04

    Install

    We work in Menorca, across the Balearic Islands and in other locations accessible for transport and crane-truck installation.
