Based in Miami and Barcelona, Doo Architecture<\/strong><\/a> is a collective of leaders in the fields of architecture, urbanism, design, research and branding. Each of them comes with a unique professional experience and an array of diverse projects throughout Europe, Asia Pacific and North and South America. Doo Architecture<\/strong>, founded by Alexis Cogul Lleonart, applies a multi-disciplinary philosophy and bring strategy and an eye for urban planning to everything they design and create \u2013 whether a home or an office or a retail store, whether it is a building, or whether it is the interior or exterior landscape.<\/p>\n

What moves them? The constant socio-political evolution of our habitats has led us to consider architecture in a continuous changing context, one that requires both specialization and collaboration within different fields. Things like contemporary lifestyles, the new social trends, the arts and the ongoing environmental issues are now leading our interest in the intellectual design process. They believe each project has its own, unique DNA and our mission is to discover it. And central to that is the inhabitant or consumer. Their focus is to understand his or her practices, qualities and emotions, or the corporate culture of a business we are building for, so that our design flows to accommodate their existing functions, whether they be commercial or domestic.<\/p>\n

Their projects exist solely in the presence of its inhabitants.<\/p>\n

Doo Architecture<\/strong><\/a> has gained cultural advantages from our travels and discovered new insights in each project, applying these valuable lessons when applicable, while treating each design individually, recognizing its DNA. They are well versed in the latest 3d design systems and use cutting edge technology so we can track our vision along the way.<\/p>\n

They are always curious about what is next. Discovery is key. By applying our experience, processes, creativity and curiosity to your project, you will discover an enhanced and optimum relationship to the space or spaces you inhabit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n

Alexis Cogul Lleonart<\/strong> doesn\u2019t follow. In his world, form facilitates function.<\/p>\n

An international architect and designer with a dual degree in urban planning, Cogul must see it before he builds it. Whether designing an object, room, house or building, he must first envision the use of the space by its occupants. Most modern architecture may fit the form- follows-function model, but the Barcelona-born Cogul takes a step further in his mission to customize rooms for their optimum use.<\/p>\n

He has been doing this for more than 15 years, working on a number of internationally renowned and award-winning projects. As a young entrepreneur, he has taken his vision to the business world, creating a number of start-ups fueled by the philosophy that design enhances the experience of living, working, or playing in any space.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about using architecture as a useful tool in achieving final function utilization\u2014in other words, the use you want for that space.\u201d<\/p>\n

After collaborating with Oppenheim Architecture in Miami for several years, Cogul founded Doo Architecture, which has partnerships and alliances around the world. Its mission is to not only build the future, but also find investment opportunities and financing for projects that mirror his vision: an industry where the urban social and economic use of a space are inseparable from its design and construction.<\/p>\n

Three years later, after being named one of 2013\u2019s Top 10 Designers of the Year by the Wolfsonian Museum\u2019s Visionaries organization, Cogul felt there was a huge disconnect between the construction industry and design. He started a new concept of architectural atelier or lab called Doo Corp, where design, construction and development are conceptualized together from the beginning of a project. This commitment to create spaces that are better suited for their function and provide better client experiences, has been proven effective for brands like the Ritz Carlton and Starwood Hotels.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy dream project? I guess a library or a museum \u2013 any project that would force me to study the contents of the structure and the use by a number of people so I can invent something unique that will not only facilitate the program but provide the perfect space for it.\u201d<\/p>\n

In 2016, Cogul founded the Brand Cogul Design labs, a laboratory of miscellaneous designs for just about anything that would occupy a space. Creating has always been the driving force in his design and the journey took him to the lab, which is best described as the studio of a designer scientist. This is where Cogul can put his vision on objects other than bricks and mortar \u2013 on furniture, light fixtures, flooring materials and patterns, the details that define a space when it is no longer empty.<\/p>\n

Cogul has a Masters of Architecture degree from the University of Barcelona ESARQ UIC and a Master of Urban Design from UAB. He has worked as a professor at the ESARQ UIC and has participated in different conferences on modern architecture throughout the Spanish territory and USA, as well as in various expositions in Madrid, Barcelona, Vienna and Miami. In 2007, he obtained distinction from the Housing Ministry for best \u201cFinal Year Project Work\u201d for the Architecture & Urbanism Biennale.<\/p>\n

Villa M Residence<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Miami Beach, Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n

The narrow lot of this property is instrumental in determining the plan for this house seeking light and views. 60 feet wide X 150 feet long the lot size renders\u00a0the opportunity to create a courtyard house. \u00a0Aside from the typical modern Miami home, conceptually thinking from the inside out,\u00a0will\u00a0be\u00a0the driving force of the architecture for Villa M.<\/p>\n

A sequence of courtyards interrelate each of the spaces from front to back, creating a straight path that moves you from the entry towards the boat dock. \u00a0One single corridor takes you through all the areas, from entry courtyards with green walls, to cantilever pergolas, interior sculpture courtyard, to the main vaulted ceiling living area which opens up to an infinity pool and sculptural staircase leading to a roof deck. \u00a0 While the architecture claims it\u2019s straight lines and geometric presence, the interiors throughout the structure are created to contort the space with its curves and wooden ceilings, applied materials and interior architecture \u2013 something we like to call \u201csoft modern.\u201d<\/p>\n

Casa B&B Italia<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Miami Beach,\u00a0Florida<\/strong><\/p>\n

Limited by restrictive development codes and lot limitations, this residence was designed as a collection of raw concrete volumes. Design elements such as natural light, materiality, and typology, dictated the main architectural principles driving the project and its geometry.<\/p>\n

The space is conceived as a collection of small volumes whose interactions create a flow that circulates throughout the courtyard spaces, and allows natural light to wash all the main habitable areas. The main door resides between two concrete volumes, revealing an organically shaped curved curtain wall that focuses your attention on the main courtyard while hiding the rest of the path to the house. Only while walking through the interiors, will guests discover all the spaces and different living setups.<\/p>\n

The house\u2019s materiality focuses on enhancing the pour-in-place white concrete walls, which will be left exposed both on the inside and outside of the house. No drywall or stucco will be applied, and all systems of the house will be imbedded into the structure.<\/p>\n

This is not just an interior courtyard residence, but an inside-out structure whose elements reveal the exterior esthetics while maintaining the home\u2019s intimacy.<\/p>\n
