The house as an inhabited landscape
Entendemos la vivienda como el espacio más íntimo de la arquitectura: un lugar donde la luz, el clima, la vegetación y la materia construyen un universo propio. Cada casa nace del diálogo entre quien la habita y el territorio al que pertenece, prolongando la lógica de los paisajes mediterráneos y transformándolos en refugios contemporáneos, sensibles y eficientes.
Architecture that accompanies life
Cada casa que diseñamos es una respuesta específica: una suma de luz, sombra, temperatura, materiales y vegetación que se adapta a una forma concreta de vivir. La vivienda unifamiliar, en nuestro estudio en Alicante, no se concibe como un objeto aislado, sino como un jardín habitado, un sistema equilibrado entre intimidad, clima y paisaje.
We work on housing from:
Intimacy
Protected spaces that allow daily life to unfold with serenity and tranquility.
The light
Treated as just another material: capable of ordering, nuanced, illuminating or transforming each room.
The matter
Creating spaces to live together: to care for each other, to meet, to learn, to celebrate.
Architecture as an infrastructure for well-being .
Efficiency
Passive strategies, orientation, cross ventilation and natural climate control.
The vegetation
Patios, sombras, jardines interiores y exteriores que amplían la casa.
The water
Sheets, ponds or humid atmospheres that provide sensory well-being.
New work from the territory
Although we don't see housing as a replicable product, we develop new construction projects that are deeply rooted in their context . Understanding the terrain, the light, and the climate defines our approach to new construction projects in Alicante, where the house integrates seamlessly into its original landscape and adapts to the life that will unfold within it.
For us, designing a home is an exercise in natural precision : choosing what to open up and what to conceal, how air circulates, how light filters in, what vegetation complements the space, and what materials tell the story of the place. In new construction projects in Alicante, this understanding of the land becomes especially clear: every decision stems from listening to what the topography, the climate, and the history of the site demand.
Let's talk about the place where you want to live
An initial conversation is enough to start drawing the house:
what to protect, what to open, what to let pass.
Houses that tell stories
At Aranea we design homes that grow from the experience of living in them:
Houses that embrace patios and gardens.
Houses that open up to the horizon or shelter from the wind.
Houses that filter the light, that cool down, that accompany.
Houses that are a memory of the place and the beginning of a new life.
That is why our homes are featured year after year in international media such as GA Houses, where their material, spatial and landscape depth is recognized.
