At this point in the journey of Menis Arquitectos, we could say that there are two inescapable references for understanding the evolution of the studio and even of my own personal evolution: the passion for manual labor, as craft, which permeates every project, and the interest in the spirit of the place where it belongs.

Thereafter molding each object, as an organ that rises from the site itself, has helped us discover a more free and artistic architecture, but also allowed us to approach the subject in a process of ongoing review and confrontation with technology: a comprehensive dialogue with the environment of the project which ensures its proper insertion.

Over the years, we have developed a very particular way of addressing the project at our office, this process is based on two pillars that support the project in an ongoing mutual dialogue, reason and emotion. Common sense in dealing with raw materials and their true potential in the context where it is inserted is the framework within which reason and emotion are combined.

Explore ways to create an environment that fosters and sustains life in a new city, going back to the basics of life, offering what life on earth needed, need and will need. Using the forces of nature as design tools to bring about a living in the desert microclimate, the structure of the "ideal city".
