Frame Awards – FAD
1.“CASA NUBE” I Studio Animal
In this renovation, Studio Animal transformed an old, 95m² flat in Madrid into an ample, luminous and functional space, establishing a clear separation between public and private areas. The ‘public’ or social area consists of a white, multifunctional space incorporating the kitchen, living room, dining room and reading area, optimising the natural light and ventilation. The private area, in vibrant colours, includes two symmetrical bedrooms with twin bathrooms accessible through a curved “cloud”. The bathrooms, surfaced in Hisbalit’s eco-friendly mosaic tile in pink and orange, present a strikingly creative curved geometry. The project was the winner of the Frame Awards 2024 and the FAD Prize for Interior Design 2024.
The bathrooms are entirely surfaced in Hisbalit mosaic tile as if with a single skin. References: Unicolor 304 and Unicolor 255.

2.“Restaurante MMC” I Zooco Estudio
For architecture lovers, the Restaurante MMC of the Museo Marítimo del Cantábrico is considered an absolute gem. This project, by Zooco Estudio, received a number of prestigious awards including the Nan Arquitectura Award 2024, AMP 2024 – Commercial Interior Design and the BID 2024 – Interior Design Award. The project was a finalist for the COAM Interior Design Award and the Room Awards and was also selected in the CSCAE Architecture Awards, Dezeen 2024 – Restaurant and Bar interior design and Archello 2024 – Restaurant of the Year.
The project is a striking example of contemporary brutalist architecture, fusing the solidity of concrete with broad vistas of the sea, creating a space filled with light and texture, a celebration of architectural creativity.
The bathroom is an example of how design can transform a space. Here the designers used the Algodón mosaic tile from Hisbalit’s RAW collection. The white colour of the tile is highlighted by the contrasting blue grouting, a unique combination that artfully evokes the maritime environment.

3.Casa Cabanyal I Estudio Viruta Lab
This duplex in Cabanyal, Valencia was renovated by Estudio Viruta Lab, respecting the essence of this historic fisherman’s cottage originally built in 1946. The project conserved some original features such as the brickwork and mouldings while also updating the space to the needs of today with a modern and functional design. Personalised Damero mosaic tiles, typical of the area, were used throughout the interior, creating a hypnotic effect on the walls and floors while the furnishings were custom designed to maximise the available space. The renovation skilfully combines the past and present, maintaining all the nostalgia of the traditional structure while introducing contemporary features.

6.Renovation for Alejandro and Inma I Pablo Muñoz Payá Arquitectos
This renovation in Alicante, by Pablo Muñoz Payá Arquitectos, transformed a traditional Mediterranean farmhouse into a luminous space while conserving the original architecture. To increase the feeling of space, the designers opened up the existing walls with a large picture window in the central area including the living and dining room and kitchen. The floor of the living room was also lowered to gain height and improve the views. By using all-natural materials, such as oak, dry stone and Hisbalit eco-friendly mosaic tiles, the designers harmoniously incorporated the home into its environment. The eternity pool, surfaced in Hisbalit’s Deep mosaic tile in black, reflects the surrounding landscape, enhancing the natural beauty of the space. The project was featured by the leading publications in the sector and received the Arquitectura Plus Award by Daikin 2023.

7.NON-BINARY Cross Space III I Studio Pachón – Paredes
The renovation of this 110m² apartment in Madrid, in a building dating from the 1970’s, follows two lines: Non-Binary Space, aiming to create flexible and adaptable spaces, and Cross-Space, involving architectural transformations and adaptations. The project created two types of spaces: those which are binary, defined and domestic, and those considered non-binary, neutral and flexible. The principal interior ‘facades’ configure several different open areas with the binary spaces are integrated within the Cross-Space, providing support to the non-binary spaces of the project.
One wall was surfaced in Hisbalit’s Unicolor 221 mosaic tile in green while also creating a customised niche using Hisbalit’s Unicolor 212 mosaic tile.
