We are Caceres + Tous – a collaboration between architect Nicolas Caceres and interior designer Kiko Tous.
Our partnership embodies the convergence of two continents, cultures, and philosophies, enabling us to bring a broader perspective to every project. We design from the inside out, prioritizing functionality and interior architecture for a holistic approach where spaces not only function but also evoke emotion. Our diverse backgrounds merge into a unified architectural concept, seamlessly integrating bold and coherent interior design.
We draw inspiration from the landscape, the contours of the land, and the elements—sun and wind—to create designs that resonate with the environment.
Our designs are sensitive to orientation, offering protection from the sun and harnessing the wind for natural ventilation. The functionality of each space is thoughtfully considered to enhance the daily lives of its users.
Our clients’ visions are paramount, guiding us to tailor spaces that harmonize with their lifestyles. We are passionate about designing for people, crafting environments rich in stories—a backdrop for life’s moments, from the warmth of friendship to the exuberance of a child.
Our exploration in design extends to spaces, light, and textures, evoking emotions intrinsic to the human experience.
In a world dominated by fleeting images, we strive to capture depth and meaning. Our designs come alive through experience—the way light animates forms throughout the day, the interplay of spaces, and how architecture frames views. Aimed at timelessness, our designs transcend trends through the stories they tell and the impressions they leave.
As we continually seek the next idea, the next challenge, the next opportunity, our journey of creativity and innovation never ceases.
We are Caceres + Tous— where our designs become storytellers, narrating the tales of everyday life through architecture and interior design.
The projects here offer a closer look at how this approach takes form in each place.
FOUNDERS
Nicolás Cáceres
Principal | Co-Founder | Architect
Nicolás Cáceres is a Chilean Architect and co-founder of Caceres+ Tous. His work explores the relationship between architecture, nature, and the human experience. His architecture seeks to be a delicate intervention into the natural landscape.
He has been influenced by eastern cultures in which contemplation and awareness are part of daily life. This sensibility informs his approach in the creation of spaces that encourage calm and reflection.
He develops a close relationship with his clients, who become the center of his work. Understanding their way of living, their needs, and their aspirations is an essential part of his process, with the aim of creating architecture that is deeply personal and meaningful.
Kiko Tous

Born in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Kiko initially pursued architecture but later shifted his focus to design. He graduated with a degree in Interior Design from the International University of Catalunya (Barcelona). To broaden his expertise, he also trained in graphic design, web design, 3D modelling, and industrial design.
Kiko taught at LAI Design School from 2006 to 2009 and spent over eight years with the firm Archikubik (archikubik.com). He then launched his own multidisciplinary design company, working primarily around Barcelona. In 2012, he co-founded BROTS, a design shop supporting local talent, which later inspired the creation of ODD Original Design & Delight (ODD Bali).
