The students of the Master’s Degree in Space Design (MUDE) have designed domestic spaces based on Cosentino materials where the future of housing and kitchens has become a reality. The goal: to anticipate housing and functional needs for the next ten years with creative and sustainable solutions.
Led by Mireia Sandoval, professor at Eina, and with the active participation of Blanca Ballesteros and Isabel Martínez, representatives of Cosentino, the students have created proposals that explore the evolution of living spaces, merging technology, sustainability, and avant-garde design. The resulting projects are: Oasis Natural, Metamorphosis, and Intangible Kingdom.
Oasis Natural: The Kitchen as a Living Ecosystem
The group formed by Andrea Salinas, Camila Rueda, and Meliza Vicuña has envisioned a future kitchen where nature is the central pillar. Incorporating hydroponic crops as room dividers and a multifunctional bar, this space combines functionality and sustainability.
Metamorphosis: Transformation and Adaptability
Given the reduction of urban spaces, Alan Pulido, Dayana Montes, and Carlota Rodés have created an adaptable micro-apartment. Using mechanisms that allow elements to move and rotate, the living space transforms according to the moment’s needs.
Intangible Kingdom: Spaces in Motion
Wang Xinyi, Qian Zihao, and Zhang Ding have developed a flexible micro-apartment with a “second skin” of modular wardrobes. Mobile furniture enables the transformation of the space into areas for work, rest, or entertainment efficiently.
Learning and Vision for the Future
This initiative has not only strengthened students’ understanding of domestic spaces but also immersed them in realistic professional practice. From research and critical thinking to project defense, this showroom anticipates a future where housing is constantly redefined to meet society’s evolving needs.
The results of these innovative projects reinforce Cosentino’s commitment to design and sustainability, demonstrating that the future of interior architecture is in the hands of new generations.
