Cristina Domínguez Lucas and Fernando Hernández-Gil make up the duo at Lucas y Hernández-Gil studio, place where these two architects and designers materialized their ideas and the passion they feel for spaces. As if dealing with a blank canvas, diaphanous, clean, and luminous environments define them as a studio, later looking for their expression through materials, colors, and textures
As if leading an architectural firm was not enough, Kresta Design emerges almost in parallel, where they let their imagination run free (if it is possible to do so), being the part of the firm that develops furniture and graphic design, and which each day earns more relevance by allowing them a greater customization for the projects. And through these three pillars: architecture, interior and graphic design, in equal importance ratio, today there is a firm that gives people something to talk about, being this multidisciplinary stage the one to provide a more coherent and harmonic result to everything they do.
Working on different scales offers a more deliberate design, which can be translated into a more intense design, that allows us to define the scale to detail or to be more subtle, foreseeing the absence of elements and managing the stress on light and textures. Meaning, a complete vision is better, both when you put and when you remove something.
The common denominator of the firm: the interest with which they approach each project. Houses, hotels, or restaurants, the firm is afraid of nothing, instead, it values each project as an opportunity, “challenging from the point of view of a business that confides us with its image or an individual who asks for a house where he will live his whole life”, the couple states.
This tiny portfolio of their career focuses on the most graphic branch of the company. Handmade collages, which start with a picture or render (elaborated in the studio also), are the definition of the set of interests that they have cultivated along their lives, where they try to recreate a scene, an atmosphere halfway between the past and the unknown; they try to achieve a balance between the everyday and the evocative.
