MORE ABOUT GPY ARQUITECTOS
Philosophy
We see architecture as a means of seeking out new spatial relationships between man and his surroundings.
Our projects extend beyond their physical limits to establish links with their context. We consider buildings to be extensions of the public space, successions of social spaces for use by the public at large.
Merging interior and exterior, public and private, is the strategy we use to generate social spaces that are “half-open” to the outside world.
