Comfort anywhere, with the lightest possible touch
ECHO is a study in what sustainability really means in nature: using the minimum of material to create genuine comfort, wherever it lands. Everything is pared back to what the guest actually needs, and no more.
A deck that shades, protects, and opens the view
At its heart is a deck designed to shade and protect while keeping the views open in every direction. The envelope does the environmental work so the interior can stay calm, generous, and connected to the landscape.
Space, saved
Every square metre is considered. Within a compact footprint ECHO provides sleeping quarters, storage, and a bathroom, with all MEP (mechanical, electrical, and plumbing) minimized to keep the build lean and the running costs low.
Engineered with the best
ECHO was developed with expert collaborators:
- Arup helped engineer the structure.
- Climetric brought climate and comfort-design expertise, tuning the building to perform in its setting.
Explore the ECHO solar study, an interactive sun-and-shade model for the Madrid site, with live cost, carbon, and comfort figures as you adjust the roof overhang and glazing.
Modular by design
ECHO is modular: the system can be stretched to accommodate more function, adding space and program as a project grows, without losing the efficiency of a standardized kit.
