An agricultural building imagined as a shared place to work with clay.
Homes. Existing buildings. Everyday life.
Room for
everyday life.
An open door. A cool patch of shade. A room that catches the morning light. Architecture begins with the way we live.

Rooms gathered around an olive tree, with somewhere to sit in the shade.
Selected studies
A new life for familiar places.
Three ways to work with light, what is already there, and the materials close at hand.
A small home opened to garden light, one carefully framed view at a time.
The drawing behind the photograph.
A project is more than its finished view. Explore the threshold, the relationship between rooms and the material decisions behind each concept study.
01 / Casa Olivo
One constraint. One architectural response.
Bring daylight into a deep footprint without making every room public.
Casa Olivo uses the courtyard as an organiser. Shared rooms meet the outside; quieter rooms sit behind a deeper edge. The drawing describes a relationship, not a surveyed building.
The studio
Less to look at. More to live with.
In this concept, patio. is a small architecture practice working with homes and existing buildings. Its starting materials are light, proportion and the habits of the people who use a place.
ApproachA way of working
Begin with what is there.
01Look closely
Understand the site, the daylight and the small routines a space needs to hold.
02Keep what matters
Work with useful structures and materials. Change only what gives the place a better use.
03Resolve the details
Follow the idea through to a threshold, a handle, a place to sit.
