Spanish architects Antón García-Abril and Débora Mesa of Ensamble Studio, both speaking at the 2018 Design Indaba Conference, are interested in exploring urban and architectural spaces in innovative ways.

The studio’s work includes a house that took a full year to engineer but only seven days to build (Hemeroscopium House) and a portal that makes use of materials found in the natural surrounding landscape (Beartooth).

Below is a selection of 5 buildings and structures created by the studio over the past 10 years.
