The practice specialises in contemporary residential design. Sebastian has developed his research in Mediterranean architecture and housing, completing his doctorate at Barcelona School of Architecture in 2016. This ongoing research is applied to both our current design and teaching in Barcelona at La Salle school of Architecture, The Instituto Europeo de Diseño and ESADE Business school.

At the same time, we have also worked extensively on historic and protected buildings. Having specialised in architectural history at the Courtauld Institute, Anthony became advisor to English Heritage and the Arts Council of Great Britain, working on listed buildings for the National Trust as well as other public and private clients.

The practice moved to Mallorca in 2000. Building our own house, required overcoming the challenges of a new and different culture, languages, regulations and customs. We managed to build a home both fitting to the site and spatially innovative, incorporating the demands of modern life with the sense of place. This building was awarded the Mallorca Architecture Prize by the Balearic Chapter of Architects.

From this experience, we became convinced of the potential and the need to combine the criteria of modern design with the character of Mallorcan architecture: to create contemporary spaces in harmony with the sense of place.

Since then we have gone on to expand on this fundamental personal experience, designing new houses and reforming old buildings across the island. Our designs continue to adapt to each site and client, but always strive to attain the best transformation with the minimum of means.

The practice is currently working on both contemporary residential projects and historical buildings in Mallorca and Catalunya. These include projects in Unesco World heritage areas; new private houses in Pollensa and historic buildings in Calvia, the South of Mallorca and in the foothills of the Pyrenees.

We believe that good design is an open-minded and thoughtful process which requires individual solutions to specific challenges. The intense efforts involved at the design stage are rewarded time and time again later in the process of making a building, and have lasting impact on the function and enjoyment of the home.

We consider sustainability to be inherent to architectural design, affecting every design decision at every stage of the project. Therefore, we incorporate sustainable criteria into our design work from the outset combining passive measures such as orientation, shading, ventilation with active technologies for generating energy or reducing consumption. Furthermore, wherever possible we use local materials and local workmanship.
