Estudio Peña Ganchegui is an architectural firm based in Donostia. It was established in 1988 by Rocío Peña, Mario Sangalli and Luis Peña Ganchegui, upon the already existing studio of the latter, which was widely considered as the pinnacle of architectural practice in the Basque Country from the begining of its professional life in the early 60s until its death in April 2009.
As befits their character as professionals focused on finding bespoke solutions, Peña Ganchegui members undertake all projects, regardelss of its scale, as an investigation into itself whereby to combine each of the following items: attention to the ability of the design to fit into the distinctive character of the site; appliance of case by case constructive technology as a tool to reflect the expression of an achitectural form; and achievement of the most efficient ratio between available space and material resources.
Rocío Peña Azpilicueta and Mario Sangalli Uggeri were both born in Donostia in 1964, and both studied Architecture in Barcelona before leading, form 1993, the studio as partners.
