Skinclub Cosmetic Clinic / Club Studio

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:40:00 +0000

At a time when beauty transcends mere appearance to become an experience, designing a space devoted to cosmetics and aesthetic medicine offers a rare opportunity to explore architecture from an emotional, sensorial, and human perspective. This new urban project — located in Valencia — is neither just a clinic nor a retail space; it is a space to be experienced, designed to engage the body and senses from the very first step.

Casa Rocafull / osb arquitectos

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 07 Jul 2026 18:36:00 +0000

Located in the heart of Valencia's historic Cabanyal district, Rocafull House by osb arquitectos stands as a testament to the transformative power of thoughtful rehabilitation. The project breathes new life into a long-abandoned ruin, converting it into a bespoke home that harmonizes modernist heritage with Arab-inspired design. In a neighborhood known for its architectural sensitivity, the challenge was to rehabilitate an unprotected building while respecting its urban context and fulfilling the client's vision for a space that is both contemporary and deeply rooted in tradition.

Espai Verd: The Habitable Utopia of Valencia's Green Cathedral

Camilla Ghisleni — Wed, 06 May 2026 04:00:00 +0000

Even the most distracted passerby is captured by the monumental presence of this structure located in the established Valencian neighborhood of Benimaclet. Before it, any attempt at rational comprehension dissolves. The constructive logic seems to slip away as space unfolds in tensions and detours where nothing is immediately revealed. Between masses of concrete and the insurgency of vegetation, an almost choreographic play of planes, angles, and rotations emerges. In the vertigo of this encounter, one realizes that the building was not designed to be understood, but to be experienced.

Sornells 21 Studio / Paloma Bau Studio

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 17 Feb 2026 13:00:00 +0000

Ausiàs Pérez of T.O.T Studio and Paloma Bau open the doors to Sornells 21, their shared studio in the Valencian neighborhood of Ruzafa, transforming a former commercial unit into a creative workspace inspired by the urban imagination of Tokyo. The intervention combines a strong conceptual narrative with a carefully executed material strategy, shaping a place where design, community and creativity converge.

How Cities Design Public Life in the Shade

Olivia Poston — Fri, 30 Jan 2026 05:00:00 +0000

Cities are warming at roughly twice the global rate, a trend accelerated by rapid urbanization. While rising temperatures are reshaping daily life worldwide, some towns and neighborhoods, often the most vulnerable and least resourced, are warming more than others. The reason comes down to the urban environment. Built infrastructure, such as roads, buildings, sidewalks, and public spaces, determines how heat moves through a city, where it accumulates, and how long it remains trapped. No matter the climate zone or geographical location, shade remains the most effective and immediate way to cool pedestrians and relieve the built environment.

Baby Pluto / Adrià Garrido Verdú

Andreas Luco — Sat, 13 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

Situated between the City of Arts in Valencia and the piles of containers in the port of Pinedo, the area of La Punta is barely surviving the macro-projects that surround it. Several dozen creators have been defending local culture for some time now in Pluto, a safe and collaborative working environment in La Punta, just a 10-minute bike ride from the city centre. Baby Pluto is the extension of these workshops in the adjoining warehouse to establish itself as a creative island in the middle of the Valencian countryside.

Oktade House / Garrido Studio

Valentina Díaz — Tue, 09 Dec 2025 06:00:00 +0000

In a flat and peaceful plot in Godella, just minutes from Valencia, a residence emerges that adopts horizontality as its defining language. The project is composed through pure geometries, bold planes, and generous cantilevers that create a massive yet serene architecture, deeply attuned to the Mediterranean climate. This interplay of overlapping volumes, advancing surfaces, and shifting shadows gives the house a strong but balanced presence that integrates naturally into its surroundings.

Beyond the Exhibition: Architecture, Interior, and Landscape as a Single Narrative

Agustina Iñiguez — Mon, 17 Nov 2025 01:30:00 +0000

As part of the experiential context, the concept of exhibition in architecture is closely tied to perception. Understanding the user's journey, recognizing the properties and characteristics of each element, and revealing the methodology behind their operation are all vital aspects of the design and development process for these spaces. From equipment, furniture, and artworks to construction materials and technologies, architecture and interior design demonstrate an increasingly significant creative potential to develop solutions that merge historical, landscape, and social perspectives.

Hortensia Herrero Art Center / ERRE

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 19:00:00 +0000

The Hortensia Herrero Art Centre is located in the former Valeriola Palace in the city of Valencia, Spain, an emblematic Baroque-style building dating back to the 17th century that has served various purposes throughout its history, undergone various interventions, and, in recent decades, been unused and abandoned.

European University | Turia Campus / Ramón Esteve Estudio

Pilar Caballero — Sat, 15 Nov 2025 06:00:00 +0000

The project stems from the European University's initiative to establish its new urban campus in Valencia in a location that reflects the institution's values, principles, and objectives: to train professionals committed to the future while preserving the legacy and knowledge that precede them.

Prosolia Headquarters / Destudio

Paula Pintos — Thu, 09 Oct 2025 03:00:00 +0000

The Prosolia offices present the challenge of creating a 1,000 m2 workspace for 70 employees in a location with low ceilings and a large number of closely spaced pillars. One of the façades of this "forest of pillars," however, offers a wide view of the Turia gardens in Valencia.

House Jacaranda / Ramón Esteve Estudio

Valentina Díaz — Wed, 24 Sep 2025 09:00:00 +0000

House Jacaranda is located in a residential area on the outskirts of Valencia. The plot has excellent geometry and favorable topographical conditions that facilitate the implementation of the project.

Noas Studio / SahuquillodeArriba

Paula Pintos — Sun, 20 Jul 2025 09:00:00 +0000

Located in the Cabañal neighborhood of Valencia, just a few meters from the sea, this small space on Barraca Street is a meeting point for different disciplines—a flexible environment where design, ceramics, and creation coexist. From the start, the owner had a clear vision: it had to be an open, multipurpose, and ever-evolving space, capable of hosting anything from a shop to a graphic design studio, while also allowing for activities like
workshops or yoga classes.

Cooling the City: How European Cities are Adapting to Extreme Heat

Reyyan Dogan — Thu, 03 Jul 2025 06:30:00 +0000

The summer of 2025 has brought extreme heat across Europe and beyond, with record-breaking temperatures and widespread climate-related impacts. Red alert warnings have been issued in France, Italy, and Spain as temperatures exceeded 46°C in parts of the Iberian Peninsula. These conditions have led to school closures, restrictions on outdoor work, and pressure on urban infrastructure, including power grids and public transport systems. The heatwave has simultaneously intensified wildfire risk across the Mediterranean. In western Turkey, ferocious wildfires near Izmir forced the evacuation of over 50,000 people as high winds and low humidity fueled rapidly spreading flames. In Spain's Catalonia region, two people died in a wildfire that raced across farmland and old structures in Torrefeta on July 1. Similar disasters have occurred in Greece, France, and Italy, with evacuations throughout southern Europe as widespread heat‑induced drought exacerbates fire season intensity.

El Recer House / Viraje arquitectura

Valeria Silva — Sun, 04 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

El Recer is located on a sloping plot that descends to a torrent. It breaks up to interlink with the outdoor spaces and falls naturally to maximise the views.

Los Angeles Apartments / Homu Arquitectos

Andreas Luco — Sat, 03 May 2025 11:00:00 +0000

Homu Arquitectos transforms former ice warehouse into historical essence apartments in El Cabanyal. Valencia-based Homu Arquitectos has transformed a 243 m² former ice warehouse in El Cabanyal into two tourist apartments that respect the neighborhood's identity.

Apartment in Russafa / Quadrat Estudio

Valeria Silva — Sat, 16 Nov 2024 15:00:00 +0000

A flat unused for 50 years, located in a corner building in the Ruzafa neighborhood in the city of Valencia. An obsolete and excessively compartmentalized distribution that deprived the property of spatial quality and natural light. An opportunity.
