BikOff

"This project was aimed at those who do not use bicycles, those who drive their cars every morning to the office. ‘Bikoff’ was born to convince these people to leave their cars and to ride every morning to their offices."

Alarm Pillow

It gently vibrates at the given hour, to wake you up with a buzz. I think all parents would be glad if their childrens had one of the Alarm Pillow, so they would not be late to school anymore.

Vertical Garden Lives on Building's Wall

That garden was installed on the exterior of a new children's library in San Vicente de Raspeig, Sapin.
It uses cubic containers filled with substrate felt confined between two metal grids, one outdoor and one indoor. Containers are accessible from corridors located in the rear, where they can be replaced. The irrigation is possible by a metal structure built upon the deposit of concrete.
A lot of different types of flowers and herbs fill in the top layers of the garden. There is also a suspended scaffold in front that allows for pruning and replacing specific species.
