Straw Bale House, Churriana
Still under construction, this house will be the first to be built using this system in Málaga; it will use local wood and straw bales sourced from organically grown traditional wheat from La Serranía de Ronda. It features an experimental geothermal-evaporative cooling system that we have named the “Malaga well,” constructed with ceramic conduits (atanores) […]
Finca La Paz Eco-Hotel
At Farfán Estudio we are developing the first hotel project on the Costa del Sol to follow the principles of New Mediterranean Architecture. Natural building will allow the eco-hotel to blend into a farm estate in Alhaurín de la Torre, which will become a benchmark for its application of sustainability criteria: neo-traditional building systems and […]
Self-Sufficient House, Alhama de Granada
This is the studio’s first 100% self-sufficient home, disconnected from all utility grids. It’s a neo-vernacular Andalusian take on the #Earthship, set among centuries-old holm oaks and olive groves. The stonework was one of the biggest challenges, and key to integrating the house into the landscape. Local master masons and stone from Benaoján made this […]
Neo-Vernacular House, Tarifa
A neo-vernacular house inspired by the traditional architecture of southern Cádiz. It revives natural materials and bioclimatic solutions adapted to the climate, and adds sustainable energy and wastewater treatment systems.
Bioclimatic House, Rincón de la Victoria
A single-family home on a seafront plot that makes the most of the sea breezes. It is built with local, salt-resistant ecological materials and uses renewable energy, self-supply systems and water recycling. Solar-oriented layout of the plan and spaces, cross ventilation, eaves and a vine pergola for seasonal solar control, movable shading on window openings, […]
Bioclimatic House, La Cala del Moral
A nearly zero-energy home that combines natural ventilation, geothermal cooling and timber salvaged from the Sierra Bermeja wildfire, together with water harvesting and food-growing systems.
Cave House, Granada
The plot lies in an informally self-built neighbourhood of Granada, on a slope of Alhambra conglomerate in the foothills along the River Genil. The site has blind party walls to the north and west, and an underground cavity that had been sealed off for more than forty years. Its accumulated structural deterioration had led to […]
Bio-Passive House, Alhaurín de la Torre
A bio-passive home that adapts the Passivhaus standard to the Mediterranean climate through natural materials, passive heating and cooling strategies, and sustainable water and garden management.
