NáBITO architects the Ziggurat, Dubai

Our proposal for a mixed uses Building on the Al Marmoon Oasis, Dubai

Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid — Dubai’s Living Mirage

Rising from the tawny sands like an ancient mirage reborn, the Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid re‑imagines the timeless desert ziggurat as a twenty‑first‑century city‑within‑a‑building. Its stepped silhouette, draped in lush vegetation, evolves from the region’s vernacular—oasis farming terraces, wind‑catching towers, and the shimmering geometry of Bedouin textiles—yet it speaks the language of advanced eco‑technology and flexible urban life.

Vision

Al Marmoon Oasis Pyramid is not merely a landmark; it is a manifesto for desert urbanism. By fusing indigenous wisdom with regenerative design, it proves that a building can be at once refuge, workplace, playground, and farm—thriving in harmony with one of the planet’s most demanding climates. In the heart of Dubai’s protected reserve, the pyramid stands as a living promise: the future city can grow green, even in the driest sands.

Spiraling Nature – A Visionary Vertical Garden by NàBITO architects

NàBITO architects The Stairscraper

Our first prize 🥇in the TOTAL HOUSING Storefront for art and architecture competition in NEW YORK re-edited for a new adventure. Stay with us.

Rising like a living sculpture from the landscape, this latest concept by NàBITO architects transforms the traditional tower into a vibrant twisted ecosystem. A spiraling structure wraps elegantly around a central core, creating wide 360-degree balconies on every level. This unique form turns the verticality of a classical high-rise into a sequence of stacked villas—each with its own panoramic terrace and private garden.

At the base, a curved glass volume steps gently into the surrounding greenery. The generous use of reflective glazing dissolves the boundary between architecture and nature, while the lush vegetation that crowns each level reinforces the building’s identity as a vertical park.

By merging organic geometry with a bold sustainable vision, NàBITO proposes more than just a building—it’s a new model for living. A biophilic landmark where architecture, landscape, and light spiral together toward a greener urban future.

VILLA LAVA

Here´s the last pictures of the amazing NáBITO architects VILLA LAVA, Santa Tecla, Acireale.

Villa Lava is a private residence located in Santa Tecla, in the province of Acireale, on the eastern coast of Sicily. The project is a unique architectural blend - the union of two houses in one big Villa. On one side is an old fisherman's house dating from around 1900, which has been completely restored by Nábito Architects, maintaining its essential character and carefully uncovering and preserving the original lava stone vaults. On the other side, the old restored house is connected to a modern extension that opens to the sea, designed to blend seamlessly with the surrounding landscape of coastal lava stone, local vegetation and the ever-present Mediterranean horizon bringing the sea inside the complex.

This duality is the soul of Villa Lava. One part looks inwards, towards the historic heart of Santa Tecla, holding on to its past and memory. The other part looks outwards, towards the open sea, with contemporary lines and large openings that connect the interior to nature. The villa is squeezed between three powerful forces: the sea, Mount Etna and the Timpa nature reserve, creating a setting that is both dramatic and intimate.

Textures play a central role throughout the project. From rough stone exterior walls to azole plaster interior partitions and lava stone vaults, to raw metal details and stair, to terracotta pots and micro-cement floors, they form a natural transition between old and new materials, Nábito Architects deliberately kept the surfaces vibrant and authentic.

Texture is not just decorative here; it's the tactile language that bridges time, place and memory, allowing the villa to speak to both its past and its present, while respecting the environment.

Discreet details add a handcrafted, personal touch. Outside, selected Mediterranean vegetation, including prickly pear cactus, enhances the villa's relationship with its rugged volcanic context. The client wished to preserve select original furnishings from the old fisherman’s house, seeing them not as relics, but as living traces that connect the new villa to its Sicilian roots.

Villa Lava is more than a residence: it's an architectural story of contrast and harmony, a liveable tale of Sicilian landscape, history, culture and spirit.

New Competition settled

Here´s our proposal for Ventalló primary School, Girona, Spain

The Infant and Primary School in Ventalló, Spain, is a sustainable learning environment designed as a "building machine" that harmonizes with its rural surroundings.

Constructed with an Xlam wooden structure and rammed earth panels, the school embraces natural materials for durability and thermal efficiency. The roof, a dynamic composition of square volumes at varying heights, facilitates natural light entry and air circulation, ensuring comfort and energy efficiency.

Inspired by the agricultural patterns of the landscape, the roof design mimics the surrounding fields, integrating the school seamlessly into its environment while fostering a strong connection between nature and education.

Oasis 2nd prize, Cesa, Italy

Second phase for Cesa square settled, we are proud to announce and show our proposal!! Another award for this season. second prize 🏆

The proposal aims to create an urban public space that acts as a bio-climatic shelter, a protected oasis within the city. The main objective is to realise an inclusive, green, sustainable and a safe public space that can improve the quality of life of residents and visitors, promoting social interaction and a sense of community. Through the adoption of design strategies aimed at environmental sustainability, the use of eco-compatible materials with respect to the circular economy and reuse, it is expected to significantly improve the quality of life of the inhabitants, favouring a stronger sense of community and social interaction. The square will be a landmark for social sustainability and a pole of attraction, while respecting its history and context.

The garden is formed by creating a different elevation, raising a portion of the square, providing privacy and protection from the two driveways that lap the lot. The curved and sinuous forms symbolise an embrace, conveying a sense of welcome and inclusiveness for people of all ages; the space accommodates flexible and variable functions. The raised plaza fits harmoniously into the urban context, offering a quiet space protected from vehicular traffic. Designed with ecological materials such as corten steel, local stone and permeable paving, it creates a welcoming and sustainable atmosphere.

The prevalent presence of a garden with native vegetation, with plants reflecting local biodiversity, enriches the environment and promotes biodiversity. This bio-climatic refuge, sheltered from the noise and dust of driveways, becomes a green oasis where residents can enjoy a favourable microclimate, thanks also to the choice of shrubs and trees that provide shade in the hot months, optimise rainwater management (which will be collected for irrigation and cooling), and improve air quality and comfort for users.
