MAIO Architects received the 2026 FAD Interior Design Award for a renovation project located in the Lavapiés neighborhood of Madrid. The project involved transforming a compartmentalized apartment from the 1970s into a continuous domestic landscape. 

The design utilized curved wooden volumes and large mirrored doors to replace traditional walls, employing furniture as a primary architectural element to manage circulation and storage. This method was intended to adapt older, smaller properties to contemporary lifestyles by creating flexible spaces without increasing the total surface area.
