Goodbye to Unnecessary Walls

The architecture of 2026 consolidates a trend we have been seeing for years: the kitchen is no longer a hidden service area, but the heart of the home.

The 'Great Room' Concept

In our Mediterranean and Canadian style models, we prioritize the "Great Room": a large space that unites the kitchen, dining room, and living room. This has immediate benefits:

  1. Natural Light: By eliminating partitions, light from the living room windows reaches the kitchen.
  2. Coexistence: Whoever cooks is not isolated from family conversation or guests.
  3. Visual Amplitude: A 100m² house feels like 140m² when there are no visual barriers.

Natural Materials

This year we see a strong return to light woods and stone in kitchen islands, bringing warmth to modern and minimalist design.

Can you imagine cooking while watching your children play in the living room? That is design thought for real life.
