Two-piece was designed by delaVegaCanolasso, an architecture studio led by Ignacio de la Vega and Pilar Cano-Lasso. This prefabricated house is located in Toledo area, Spain.

The house marks the beginning of the tinyhome project, prefabricated modular homes, made in Spain, and transported via truck.
delaVegaCanolasso designed the extension and renovation completely tailor made. The extension materiality consists of a 100% cor-ten steel sheet piece that completes the existing volume.

The first piece, a house with simple and lighting architecture, which has been renovated with a solar controlled curtain wall with, a self-regulating slat facade, as well as the addition of a deciduous trees that will protect the house from the sun summer, letting it through in Winter.

delaVegaCanolasso. Madrid-based young architecture studio founded by Ignacio de la Vega, Architect from the Polytechnic University of Madrid and Pilar Cano Lasso, Architect from the San Pablo Ceu University.

They focus on tailor-made projects, with sustainable and welcoming designs, highlighting the integration of light and the nature of the environment. Specialized in prefabricated architecture, we have developed the tinyhome project, modular homes made 100% in Spain transported directly by truck.

They believe that the conjunction of the in-situ work and its noble aging combined with parts totally prefabricated in the workshop, results in a rich and agile architecture, which adapts perfectly to its surroundings and improves over time.
