Project: Cabrils Hillside Home, Private Residence, Spain
Client: Private
Year: 2022

 

Set in the Mediterranean hillside just north of Barcelona, the private family home in Cabrils exudes an honesty in its design language. We have worked to remove clutter and excess elements within its structure to give it a light and airy expression, blurring the lines between inside and outdoors, while creating a natural and comfortable flow through the space.

 

Project name: The unseen garden
Architecture: KWK Promes
Area: 15 000 sqm
Year: 2025
Location: Miami
Progress: House under construction

Perched on a terraced hillside above the bay, The Unseen Garden is a dialogue between bold architecture and Miami’s tropical softness. It doesn’t seek attention — it simply lives with the rhythm of light, water, and air.
The approach sets the tone: a gentle driveway through palms and native trees as the home’s sculptural form reveals itself. Architecture and landscape blend — vines soften strong lines, and filtered light plays across textured walls.

The garden thrives on contrasts: wild planting beside sharp geometry, openness balanced with shaded intimacy. Privacy emerges naturally through layers of lush vegetation.
At the center, a horizon-reflecting pool sits where sunlight lasts longest, surrounded by soft greens and swaying grasses. A wooden deck creates a quiet retreat for barefoot mornings and slow afternoons.
Terraces follow the slope — one hiding a jacuzzi in dense foliage, another offering a shaded lounge. Small gestures — a timber curve, a narrow view between palms — show design that listens.
A sunken firepit glows at dusk, wrapped in stone and greenery, becoming the garden’s intimate heart. From here, house and landscape merge into one calm composition.

Modern architecture meets organic softness: stone steps, minimalist materials, native planting in perfect balance. The Unseen Garden is meant to be lived in — morning coffee by the pool, the rustle of leaves, time slowing in Miami’s warm air. Quiet luxury, effortless and alive.
