Text description provided by the architects. The conceptualization of the Nucleo space arises from the brainstorm on the theme ‘Casa Viva’, bringing premises such as exchange, dialogue, coexistence and convergence.

Conceived through curves that embrace and lead visitors, the flowing and at the same time centralizing form integrates harmoniously into the environment. Its sinuosity in two dimensions gains strength and sharpness through its gradation of height in the third dimension and it is along its course that its different uses are developed.

Curved Sofa Detail

In order to guarantee the protagonism of the central element, a homogeneous surface envelope is created, acting as a second skin, solving both functional and aesthetic demands.

Transcending the physical notion of space, Nucleo is therefore an experience to be lived and shared.
