Uliveto House, designed by Noname Studio, is a residence generated from the natural elements in which it is immersed. The composition of the building explicitly announces the hierarchy of functions and their reciprocal relationship in space: a cube contains the living area of the villa and intersects a low oblong prism of the sleeping area. The two volumes are slightly rotated to embrace the centuries-old olive tree, the centre of an open terrace and the main relational space as well as the heart of the outdoor life.

Kubik Extension, designed by GRAS arquitectos, is an extension of a single-family detached home in Mallorca, Spain. The result is a series of “boxes” that surround and embrace the old house, generating an innovative combination between the existing building and the new “boxes” of steel. This combination enhances both architectures: the framing of the new volumes highlights the old, of little value and the new stands out greatly in contrast to the former. The result is a very cosy environment suitable for the purpose for which it is intended.
