About Studio

DOSIS is a laboratory of creative processes founded by Isabel Collado and Ignacio Peydro that is committed to pushing the boundaries of the built environment with innovative architectural solutions. In each of their projects, the design strategies and solutions are a reflection of design research, using practice as an experimentation platform in which architecture navigates a wide scope of design interests that transcend basic pragmatic requirements to achieve extraordinary results.

Each project is undertaken as an opportunity to explore creative design methodologies, strategies, and solutions, always driving their attention toward the feasibility of building technology, structural systems, and sustainable environmental strategies.

We are a multidisciplinary architecture & design firm with a team formed by extraordinary architects and designers with expertise on architecture, urban design, landscape, graphics, furniture & object design, 3D modeling, digital manufacturing, and virtual reality. This holistic approach to design allows the team to tackle each project from a wide range of directions to acquire the best results.

We operate globally because we believe that design is knowledge, and knowledge has no physical restrictions even when it addresses local conditions. We seek excellence in all of our work, as a result, it has been widely published around the globe, our projects have been exhibited in London, Geneva, San Francisco, Paris, Madrid, and Valencia, and have been awarded with multiple international prizes and awards.

This image depicts the lovely, all-white, equipped home.

Because of its design, the mansion exudes refinement.

From the outside to the inside, it is spacious.

The materials that were employed to build this lovely house were cement and metal.

The house is spacious enough to host a large family.

The house's color conveys peace and tranquility. — The house’s color conveys peace and tranquility.

As soon as you enter, you notice that everything inside is white, both the paint and the objects themselves.

Large glass walls make the inside lighter and more pleasant to be in.

The spacious rooftop is ideal for enjoying with family.

It offers a broad view of the lovely trees in the area.

As a landscape reaction to the topography already there, the rooftop of this new home doubles as a private garden for the current home.

Casa V consists on the rehabilitation, adaptation, and expansion of an existing house, designed and built in the early 1960’s. The family that inhabits the house has been spending the holidays in it for almost fifty years. In that time, even though the number of family members has increased, the house had remained the same, being unable to fulfill current and future needs

The intention of the project is to make a place where three generations of one same family can enjoy their holiday simultaneously. For that purpose, a new house is made for the two younger generations, which consists on a side wing that articulates itself with the old building on the northeast. The rooftop of this new house serves as a private garden for the pre-existing house as a landscape response to the existing topography.

The original house accommodates now the spaces for family and social interaction, as well as the rooms of the first generation. Each family member has its own independence while remaining a part of a single set. A multilayered wall defined by a single construction detail, which serves both as structure and as thermal and environmental overcoat, meanders in order to embrace the multiplicity of events that occur in the house.

Spaces are defined by the unfolding of matter in space-time, which topologically adapts itself to what happens inside. The new house is formalized by the continuous flow of a completely neutral wrap – no edges, no color, no texture – and, within this wrapping, life, action, is the protagonist.
