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.

Manifesto
Nicolás Cáceres
Principal | Co-Founder
Born in Santiago, Chile, Nicolás earned his architecture degree from the University of Chile, one of the most prestigious institutions in Latin America. After working with renowned firms like Elton + Leniz Architects and Del Río Núñez Architects, he joined Jorge Figueroa + Associates as a senior architect and associate. After four and a half years, he decided to relocate to Bali with his family.
In Bali, Nicolás has collaborated extensively with Religion Clothing UK, designing their new stores in Bali, including the Oberoi flagship, which opened in May 2016. His portfolio encompasses family homes, hotels, and fashion retail spaces. He values close collaboration with his clients, guiding them toward their visions rather than imposing his own.
Kiko Tous
Principal | Co-Founder
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). Kiko established ODD Bali in 2015 with his wife and a Spanish partner. Around this time, he met Nicolás, and together they founded CACERES + TOUS STUDIO. He is also the founder of KMANA, a brand specializing in artisanal bags.
