Architects and designers, combining digital and physical for unique spatial experiences

We kept asking ourselves one question: what would Gaudí do with the tools we have now?

Just took his obsession with the curve seriously, and built it with everything the 21st century gave us.

So we printed the pieces instead of carving them. Then we finished them by hand anyway, because some things still need a human touch to feel warm.

300+ pieces. No blueprint told us exactly where they'd go, we had to see it in mixed reality first.

A hundred years later, we're still trying to finish his sentence.
