Ignacio de la Vega and Pilar Cano-Lasso are a couple of architects who have taken architecture beyond studios and classrooms, bringing it into the everyday lives of people and the landscapes they inhabit. Their gaze is set on the essence: creating homes capable of dialoguing with their surroundings, with refined design and a profound sensitivity to sustainability.
In 2016, they founded Tini Living, a project born from the conviction that architecture must be accessible, lightweight, and respectful, without losing a trace of beauty or emotion. The name, a diminutive of tiny, encapsulates a philosophy: the essential is enough when designed with care, intelligence, and love for materials.
Since then, Tini Living has evolved into a pioneering company in high-quality prefabricated homes, made to measure and delivered ready to live in. Their designs, with pure lines and a warm atmosphere, are committed to energy efficiency, dry construction, and the use of certified woods, high-performance glass, and natural finishes. Each module is manufactured in the workshop, reducing environmental impact and optimizing resources, before opening generously to the landscape and blending seamlessly with the place.
Beyond theory, Ignacio and Pilar have made their own life a manifesto: with their son, they live in one of these homes in Valdemorillo, near Madrid. There, surrounded by nature, they experience daily what they propose to their clients: a way of inhabiting in harmony, simple yet sophisticated, where luxury is measured in silence, light, and space.
With Tini Living, they have traced an alternative path for contemporary architecture, where design, sustainability, and quality of life converge on the same horizon.
The trajectory of both architects has shaped this singular vision. Ignacio de la Vega studied at the Polytechnic University of Madrid, and from the beginning of his career he was interested in the relationship between industrialized design and landscape. His work combines experimentation with prefabricated systems and precise adaptation to the terrain, exploring how architecture can be light, efficient, and deeply rooted in place.
For her part, Pilar Cano-Lasso studied architecture at Universidad San Pablo CEU, steering her career toward technical management and constructive resolution. Her role at Tini Living is essential: she is responsible for turning concepts into viable systems, fine-tuning the precision of detail and the quality in the execution of each module. In her profile, aesthetic sensitivity and technical rigor converge, ensuring that the homes are not only beautiful but also durable and efficient.
Before founding Tini Living, Ignacio and Pilar had already established their own studio, delavegacanolasso, from which they have developed residential and experimental projects with a personal vision: opening architecture to nature, seeking light as an essential material, and harmonizing the built with the existing. That studio remains active today, working in parallel with Tini Living, and it is from this dual perspective—architectural and entrepreneurial—that they have consolidated a new model of living that combines innovation, technique, and emotion.
Today, Ignacio and Pilar’s work is recognized for its unique blend of delicacy and strength. Their biography tells the story of two architects who, from their university years to their current research, have made sustainability a tangible and everyday practice, and prefabricated housing a fertile ground for the poetry of inhabiting.
