The Royal Institute of British Architects Gulf Chapter (RIBA Gulf Chapter), with the support of RIBA and in partnership with Dubai Design District (d3), launches d3 Architecture Festival. With over 30 shortlisted entries from all over the GCC, the exhibition will showcase architecture, urbanism and sustainable development.

The event will host a series of online talks and workshops to steer the Middle East towards a more sustainable future. AGi architects will be participating in the conversations «New typologies: Residential and hospitality in the GCC» and «Architecture and educational ecologies in the GCC». Both Nasser Abulhasan and Aisha Alsager will share their insights in these fields based on our design firm’s expertise in the region.

Passive 110, our most recent completed work, is an integral renovation project that has converted an apartment built in 1968 into a nearly zero energy housing, certified under Passivhaus standards.

Beyond energy efficiency, we have completely reorganized the space of the house, differentiating the day and night areas, and designing a flexible and versatile house that adapts to current and future needs, thanks to the interior division systems that allow to connect or isolate spaces.

This passive and sustainable house also enjoys privileged views over the city of Madrid and unique design.

AGi architects wins Second Prize in the Competition for the refurbishment works of the old Madrid-Delicias railway station. The Jury has valued the proposed urban intervention and the integration of the project in the surrounding environment. It has been highlighted the knowledge and understanding of the railway infrastructures as part of the collection of the Museum.

This prize completes those recently granted in Madrid for the competition’s proposals for the new Library in Montecarmelo; “Nuevos Ministerios Art Center” and the rehabilitation of  “El Capricho” Palace.
