Selgascano

Colour, transparency, and an unconventional use of materials are central to the work of SelgasCano, a Madrid-based architecture studio established in 1998 by José Selgas and Lucía Cano. Moving between cultural buildings, residential projects, workplaces, and temporary installations, the practice explores how architecture can interact with light, landscape, and the people who inhabit it. Synthetic materials, translucent surfaces, and experimental construction techniques frequently appear in its projects, creating spaces that challenge conventional architectural forms.

From the colourful Serpentine Pavilion in London to the Second Home workspaces and public cultural buildings across Spain, SelgasCano has developed an architectural language that combines technical experimentation with a playful, often unexpected spatial experience.
