Studio Profile
We are Marina Huguet & Andy Penuela, M.Arch from ETSAV, Barcelona, Spain. Now based in Barcelona, we were once a nomad office.
Work-and-travel gave us the opportunity to collaborate (up-until-today) in countries like Sweden, France, Colombia, USA, Malaysia & Indonesia.
We believe that context shapes form. Our task is to understand the specific context of each project and to work the relationships between detail, material, space & scale.
We train our eyes through photography. We love books. We collect lamps. We are constantly questioning and learning by listening.
