ESPACIO LA NUBE

Espacio La Nube is a project of ephemeral architecture founded by architects Hugo Cifre and Miguel Ángel Maure, dedicated to exploring new forms of construction through research in pneumatic and inflatable structures. The first "Nube" emerged in 2016 at the EASA architecture event, hosting more than 200 European students for ten days at the ETSAM in Madrid. With limited resources, we took on the challenge of craft-building a habitable space, drawing inspiration from the utopian architectures of the 1970s, such as the iconic Instant City of Ibiza. Since then, Espacio La Nube has designed inflatable pavilions adapted to different uses and morphologies for both national and international events, collaborating with entities like Space 10 in Denmark, Paseo in the U.S., the light festival organized by the City of Barcelona, and numerous events around the world.

At Espacio La Nube, we view ephemeral architecture as a portal to new realities. Our mission is to transform spatial experience by merging design, technology, architecture, and art. We create inflatable structures that blend the dreamlike with the functional, challenging the boundaries of convention and redefining the perception of space at every event.

We aim for each installation to inspire and connect with the audience through the experience, generating unique atmospheres that amplify the narrative of our clients. We believe in spatial and technical sophistication, exploring the potential of architecture with the least resources possible. With fabric and air, we build spaces of unusual beauty, capable of immersing the viewer in a new reality, enhanced by light, projections, and the magic of the whole ensemble.

Like clouds, our pop-up infrastructures are light and ephemeral, able to appear and disappear without a trace. Their flexibility minimizes environmental impact, optimizes resources, and adapts to the changing needs of each event, offering sustainable solutions that redefine the relationship between architecture, space, and experience.
