A.THE ARCHITECTURAL PROJECT
We design medium-scale building projects, including both multi-family housing blocks and non-residential buildings, using a contemporary architectural language that prioritizes comfort, natural light, and sustainability.
B.PRELIMINARY FEASIBILITY STUDY
Before starting a project or purchasing a plot, we recommend a feasibility study. This document analyzes the potential of the site and approximate costs, helping to assess the investment without any commitment to commissioning the full project.
C.CONSTRUCTION
We collaborate with trusted builders and quantity surveyors who, if the client wishes, can take on the full management of the construction process. This ensures comprehensive supervision, from the design phase through to the final execution of the work.
D.BIM TECHNOLOGY
All our projects are developed using BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. This methodology allows us to create a 3D virtual model of the building, from which we extract all the necessary information for accurate design, planning, and execution.
E.CONSTRUCTION COST CONTROL
With BIM technology we can offer much more precise and transparent budget control. Every change in the project is updated instantly, allowing the design to be adapted without losing sight of costs. In addition, we work with construction companies that provide economic assessments throughout the process, ensuring clear and reliable information from the very beginning.
F.ENERGY EFICIENCY
We believe in architecture that respects the planet and the future of the people who will live in it. That is why we design buildings with minimal energy consumption and reduced environmental impact. Through BIM modeling, we study sunlight exposure, simulate energy performance over time, and optimize every detail to deliver homes that are more efficient, sustainable, and comfortable.
G.3D VISUALIZATION
Beyond traditional plans, all our projects incorporate photorealistic 3D images and virtual reality videos. These tools allow clients to accurately visualize the final appearance of the building and facilitate decision-making throughout the design process.
H.GENERAL PROCESS
1.PRELIMINARY DESIGN
In this initial phase, the general schemes of the building are defined and a first indicative estimate of the construction cost is prepared, based on average construction values. The first conceptual images of the project are also presented.
2.BASIC DESIGN
The basic design is the document required for the City Council to grant the building permit. It includes the general plans, the project report, verification of regulatory compliance, and the project’s energy certificate.
In the case of towns near an airport, the corresponding processing of aeronautical easements must also be carried out.
3.DETAIL DESIGN
In this phase, all construction solutions, installations, and structural calculations are developed in detail. The executive project must be approved by the Association of Architects and includes the detailed bill of quantities, which makes it possible to obtain reliable budgets.
Based on this document, we recommend comparing the offer of the studio’s collaborating builders with at least two external proposals, in order to guarantee transparency and ensure the best choice.
4.IMAGES AND PROMOTIONAL VIDEOS
In the case of real estate developments, our studio also offers the production of realistic images and videos that help facilitate the marketing and sales process. This material allows potential buyers to visualize the building and its spaces before construction, providing clarity, confidence, and added value to the project presentation.
5.CONSTRUCTION WORK
Once the City Council grants the building permit, construction begins. Project supervision is jointly carried out by the architect and a quantity surveyor. If the owner wishes, the studio can provide the services of the surveyors with whom we regularly collaborate.
6.BUILDING COMPLETION
Once the construction is finished, we manage the entire subsequent administrative process, including the registration of the new building in the cadastre (land registry) , obtaining the occupancy license from the City Council, the final energy certificate, the certificate of georeferenced coordinates, and the descriptive certificate for the property registry.
In the case of dwellings, the first-occupancy habitability certificate will also be processed.
