Cultural palimpsest is at the heart of Spanish architecture. Rooted in a pluralistic history, Spanish architecture is informed by a plethora of cultures. With cities like Córdoba, once ruled by the Romans and later the capital of the Umayyad dynasty, Spain is comprised of a culturally rich landscape adorned with Christian, Muslim and Jewish iconography. Spain’s global architectural influence is also attributed to its colonial rule over Latin America, which expanded its architectural power in the 16th century and has since found its way back to the architectural lexicon through the Spanish Revival style. Whether in the nation or abroad, one is likely to encounter designs touched by Spanish craft and creation.

The rich ornament and decoration in its historic architecture continue in the contemporary context. Think 19th-century Catalan Modernism, spearheaded by the famous Antoni Gaudí: structures like the Sagrada Família are far from unadorned. The 19th century also brought forth a boom in urban development, with large city expansions and increased attention to urbanization (the term was actually coined in Barcelona); such planning efforts continue to inform the nation’s public housing projects of today. Following the death of dictator Francisco Franco in 1975, a lively architectural culture flourished — to some, the epitome of democratic design — as figures like Oriol Bohigas and Rafael Moneo positioned Spain at the forefront of global architectural discussions. Today, evaluations of the “Bilbao Effect” and the legacy of architects like Ricardo Bofill continue to dominate design conversations.

With so many architecture firms to choose from, it’s challenging for clients to identify the industry leaders that will be an ideal fit for their project needs. Fortunately, Architizer is able to provide guidance on the top design firms in Spain based on more than a decade of data and industry knowledge.

How are these architecture firms ranked?

The following ranking has been created according to key statistics that demonstrate each firm’s level of architectural excellence. The following metrics have been accumulated to establish each architecture firm’s ranking, in order of priority:

  • The number of A+Awards won (2013 to 2024)
  • The number of A+Awards finalists (2013 to 2024)
  • The number of projects selected as “Project of the Day” (2009 to 2024)
  • The number of projects selected as “Featured Project” (2009 to 2024)
  • The number of projects uploaded to Architizer (2009 to 2024)

Each of these metrics is explained in more detail at the foot of this article. This ranking list will be updated annually, taking into account new achievements of Spain architecture firms throughout the year.

Without further ado, here are the 30 best architecture firms in Spain:

We feel like an architectural design is a process. And, for every design, there is a theoretical introduction and a romantic idea. There’s always a reality: what the terrain is like, where the site is located, its orientation, what the views are, what the landscape is like, the vegetation, the cultural context, etc.; and then there’s the idea you imagine for that reality: forms, materials, spaces, etc.

The studio began its course in February 2002 with the first public and private initiative projects in Formentera. The connection, the respect and the commitment with the culture, the landscape and the territory of the minor of the Pitiüsas islands was determining in the professional and personal orientation chosen. To address larger-scale projects or to expand the geographical limits of the actions in a timely manner, decentralization has been chosen through external collaborations with other studies and professionals with similar values. Formentera historically has opted for a dispersed occupation model of very low density, and in this context the isolated single-family dwelling has been the most common program to be solved.

We are experts in low cost architecture and design.

The respect for the environment as a value that has to be managed became a social consensus. Architecture has to search for new alternatives that propose a more stimulating relation with nature and an honest application of natural resources. This can give us objective guide lines to approach planning and construction technology from a really contemporary point of view. To approach the project from a knowledge of the building mechanisms and planning.

The dialogue between multidisciplinary teams during the development of the project. The industrialization of the construction process as a way of increasing quality and comfort and of reducing costs. New architectural forms as a result of the aspiration of the environment and not of an individual expression.

selgascano was established in Madrid in 1998. It is a small atelier and intends to remain so. They have worked with a wide variety of projects keeping always nature at the core of the program. Its work is focused on research into the construction process, which is treated as an ongoing process of `listening´ to the largest possible number of elements involved, from manufacture to installation. Selgascano avoids the use of games and mechanisms that lead to disciplinary issues and strives to seek beauty that is comprehensible to any human being.

They tend not to give lectures or classes in order to focus intensely on their projects, although they were involved with the MIT (2013-14) in a short-term extension of the studio’s main concern: an intense search for new outlets for nature using artificial means, applying technologies borrowed from other fields that are rarely mixed with architecture.

The project approach arises from a double commitment: the will to give a technical response to a specific context (needs program, budget, regulations, environment…) and the desire to seek beauty through the built work. This process pursues the satisfaction, understood in its most complete sense, of all those who actively participate in development. Especially customers and users, but also collaborators, builders and designers.

Another characteristic of the process is continuity. Continuity with an environment that we must respect, spatial continuity, the use of few materials, the integration of facilities, lighting… These are common factors in the work carried out. And also the search for continuity in time, valuing the architecture that is capable of going through it without becoming obsolete. The dialogue is always present, since the work becomes part of the identity of those who inhabit it.
