"THE EXPERT'S VIEW", HONORING GAUDI'S LEGACY.

BARCELONA

we are honored to be part of a special edition celebrating the legacy of Antoni Gaudí, a visionary whose work continues to inspire the way we understand architecture, cities, and the relationship between creativity, technology, and nature.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to the newspaper and editorial team “elPeriodico” for the opportunity to contribute to this special publication, and to share our perspective alongside other professionals and experts during such a meaningful year for Catalan and international architecture.

At DNA Barcelona Architects, we believe that architecture goes far beyond creating buildings; it is a tool for shaping experiences, creating identity, and improving the way we live. Gaudí’s legacy reminds us that true innovation emerges when imagination and technical excellence come together in service of a greater vision.

Thank you for including us in this inspiring conversation and for helping keep the dialogue around architecture, culture, and innovation alive.


ARCHITECTURE DOES NOT BEGIN ON SITE. IT BEGINS HERE.

ARCHITECTURE DOES NOT BEGIN ON SITE. IT BEGINS HERE.

Barcelona, Spain

On a blank sheet of paper, where ideas are tested, evolve, and find their identity. It is in this seemingly simple moment that the true creative process begins: a continuous dialogue between intuition, experience, and vision.

For Aryanour Djalali, founder of DNA Barcelona Architects, drawing remains an essential tool to explore new possibilities and shape concepts that go beyond the conventional. Each line represents an ongoing search for innovation and a reflection on how architecture can inspire, connect, and transform the way we experience space.

From Barcelona to the world, DNA Barcelona Architects has built a practice defined by visionary design, the integration of nature, and the creation of architectural experiences that look toward the future without losing sight of the human dimension.

Because behind every project there is a story. And every story begins with a first line.

WELLNESS CLINIC & HOLISTIC CENTER IADA AWARDS 2026

AWARDS 2026

We’re proud to share that our project “Wellness Clinic & Holistic Center, La Peregrina (Mérida, Mexico)” has been awarded PLATINUM WINNER at the IADA Awards 2026 in Healthcare & Medical Facility Design.

Inspired by the protective and organic form of bird nests, the project is conceived as a sanctuary in nature—where architecture blends seamlessly with the landscape. Volumes emerge among the trees, wrapped in permeable skins that create natural microclimates and a calm, sensory atmosphere, while elevated walkways connect spaces with lightness and flow.

Designed to balance wellness, contemplation, and functionality, the center integrates hospitality areas, flexible spaces for community and meditation, and a spa at its core—dedicated to holistic practices such as yoga and mind–body healing.

Combining advanced therapies with ancestral wisdom, and guided by strong bioclimatic principles, the project becomes a living extension of its environment—sustainable, immersive, and deeply connected to nature.

Albir, Spain

AQUA Residences by DNA arrives on the Costa Blanca as a new icon of contemporary seafront architecture, where design, wellness, and Mediterranean lifestyle merge into a truly unique residential experience.

Inspired by luxury yachting and the purity of white Mediterranean architecture, the project is conceived as a superyacht anchored on the shores of the Mediterranean — elegant, fluid, and timeless. Every line, every volume, and every space has been designed to engage in dialogue with the sea, the light, and the horizon.

The development comprises 163 carefully designed residences — spacious, light-filled homes with expansive terraces open to the seascape. The architecture prioritizes a sensory connection with the surroundings, seamlessly integrating indoor and outdoor living to fully embrace the climate, sea breeze, and natural light throughout the year.

Two underground parking levels with 330 spaces ensure maximum comfort and privacy for both residents and visitors.

AQUA redefines the concept of well-being through a holistic Wellness Clinic, combining regenerative medicine, advanced stem cell treatments, next-generation technological diagnostics, specialized nutrition, and personalized longevity and integrative health programs.

The wellness spa, featuring amenities comparable to a five-star luxury hotel, is conceived as a sensory sanctuary where body, mind, and environment exist in perfect balance.

The concept is complemented by first-class restaurants dedicated to Mediterranean culinary culture, designed as vibrant meeting spaces overlooking the sea. Honest cuisine, local produce, and a dining experience that celebrates the refined and unhurried rhythm of Mediterranean living.

AQUA also integrates conference and convention facilities, designed to host cultural, corporate, and social events, reinforcing its identity as an active and cosmopolitan destination.

At the top of the building, an exclusive rooftop becomes the social heart of the project. Expansive panoramic pools, lounge areas, and contemplative spaces transform the horizon into a daily experience, where sky and sea merge into a singular architectural gesture.

Designed by DNA Barcelona Architects, AQUA is a statement of intent: iconic architecture, avant-garde identity, and profound respect for Mediterranean cultural heritage. A project conceived to endure — not only to be inhabited, but to be truly lived.

AQUA Residences by DNA is not just a place to live.
It is a destination.
It is wellness.
It is the Mediterranean in its purest form.

Thank you for a night that reminded us why Atzaró is more than just a project… it is a vision!

This past Tuesday, we shared an extraordinary event alongside our investors, partners, and friends, where we had the honor of listening to the architect from DNA Barcelona, the studio that has shaped the organic, elegant, and deeply Mediterranean architecture of Atzaró Playa del Carmen Residences.

His presence and words helped us understand even more the inspiration behind every curve, every space, and every detail designed to connect the essence of Ibiza with the magic of the Mexican Caribbean.

Atzaró Playa del Carmen Residences represents the encounter between Mediterranean luxury and the vibrant spirit of the Mexican Caribbean. Designed by the prestigious studio DNA Barcelona Architects, in collaboration with Atzaró Group and the local firm OLBLACK Arquitectos, the project is conceived as a sanctuary where architecture, nature, and lifestyle converge in perfect harmony.

Inspired by Ibiza’s philosophy of “natural luxury,” the design embraces nautical lines and the essence of Playa del Carmen’s coastal landscape to create a timeless and unique identity.

The development comprises 100 exclusive residences, including 1- to 3-bedroom apartments and duplexes, crafted with meticulous attention to detail and a refined balance between elegance and functionality.

Its amenities elevate the residential experience: signature restaurants with farm-to-table gastronomy, a wellness and spa area, infinity gardens, an open-air cinema, a state-of-the-art gym, and dedicated spaces for relaxation and community.

More than a residential complex, Atzaró Playa del Carmen Residences is a sanctuary of being—a place where luxury is not defined by excess, but by connection: with the land, the sea, the body, and oneself. Positioned in a privileged beachfront location near the cosmopolitan heart of the Riviera Maya, it offers not only a solid investment opportunity but also an exceptional lifestyle inspired by nature, culture, and the eternal rhythm of the Caribbean.

Thank you for joining us, for believing in this vision, and for being part of the beginning of a story that is only just unfolding.
The best of Atzaró is yet to come… and we are excited to experience it together!
