Carlos Ramón Henaine

What are your specialized in?
Living rooftops & interior design are my main specializations.
People now want to be closer to nature, & that is complicated when you live in a city & you do not want to move away from it. So, I bring nature to them, with all the comforts of living in a city, & all the benefits of an indoor/outdoor space. Taking advantage of the beauty of nature but being in a super cozy environment.

How would you define your architecture?
Architecture of contrasts - Light & dark, raw & sleek, fine & rough, old & new, cold & cozy, sophisticate & naive... the perfection of imperfection. Living architecture - It is always changing, has its own life & responds to its surroundings, it has processes & moments, it always surprises you. Architecture for the senses - It satisfies & delights the five senses through delicacies, & then generates sublime & beautiful emotions, feelings & sensations.

Can you tell us your signature elements?
Nature, & using it as a constructive and decorative element, technology, lighting (day & night), reflections, transparencies, textures, colors, patterns, chiaroscuro, ethnical elements, integration with the surrounding environment, enhancement of the views & natural light, functionality, & always adding something that doesn't make sense at all.

The mélange of the subtlety of natural elements, the magic of nature, the imagination of the arts, the force of technology, & the spirituality of energy, with the richness of ancient wisdom, savoir-faire & traditional production methods.
