With a humanistic approach in mind , Manuel Ruiz Moriche places the real protagonists at the center of each project, the people who give life to the designs, adapted to the place and playing with the power of light. His projects must be designed with the built work in mind and maintaining a balance with the environment.
« Creating a house is more than just making a structure, it is your safe place. »
In this interview Manuel Ruiz Moriche, co-founder and creative director of ARK Arquitects, reviewed from his ideals about what is the creative process when carrying out one of his masterpieces, to his recent projects in Abu Dhabi.
“This reference of “silent” luxury, as if he were a jedi, is known as the architect of light, which is a central element of his language. With a particular vision and an eagerness to create warm and humanistic homes, without renouncing an exclusive genetic code. ”
“Modern luxury has undergone a revolution and has abandoned high levels of ostentation. For us, true luxury is more related to sobriety, calm, quality, respect for nature. It is a harmony that seeks a balance between reason, emotion and function,” he says.
He is convinced that it is possible to live in a luxury villa and at the same time live in a masterpiece, conceived down to the last detail to suit its occupants. His leadership has taken the company beyond Spanish borders, developing projects in the USA, Abu Dhabi and Australia.
