Espinosa Studios

Espinosa arose from the desire to have a space where things could happen.

In this search, a shed appeared, hidden in La Paternal, formerly a warehouse, with a series of constructions inside a house at the front converted into offices, a sausage house in the center, a large industrial mezzanine, a concrete structure without much sense.

Something of that unexpected succession of spaces that the place originally had still exists in the project: an interior street that changes character sews different spaces together.

This side street, which runs from the pavement to the back, is compressed, becomes double-height, becomes a semi-covered space, and is a place in itself.

All workspaces are linked to this street, allowing and encouraging interaction, crossover, and collaboration.

The seven spaces, with different sizes and spatial qualities, are designed to host activities related to art and design.

This perforation in the floor and a series of openings in the roof provide the entire complex with natural light throughout the day.

The construction of Espinosa was a process of experimentation, testing on-site, of searching for materials.

In Espinosa, there is an air of simplicity, rationality, and truth of materials. There are no ornaments. It's like a blank sheet for things to happen.
