kitchen architecture

Architecture is the art of balance between the desired, the context and the functionality of life.

The desired is the work programme. The briefing and the relationship established with the promoter of the work, the client, are essential to generate an idea, a concept. A starting point.

The context has to do with the time and the actuality, the insertion of the work in the landscape, be it urban or rural. And all the financial and legal constraints that mark us out and create the project's boundaries.

The functionality of life sums up the destination of the architectural work. For family life, for a hotel, for a shop or a property development that can be either flats, offices or shops.

 

Our projects

Sustainable architecture

We speak of sustainable architecture to frame environmental and ecological concerns that allow the quality of the work as much as the quality and well-being of those who use it. Thinking about sustainability means thinking in the long term, preparing the building work to be more environmentally friendly. We can also talk about home automation so that the efficient management of the different functionalities is just a click away.

Interior architecture

We complete projects with interior architectural specialists who prepare spaces for the demands of life. As important, if not more important, as when we talk about family homes, offices or shops. Interior architecture is the synthesis which gives each project its own special touch.

Landscape architecture

We do not dispense with landscape architecture because it is the one that best knows how to highlight the surroundings and delineate the exterior spaces, adapting them to the landscape and the characteristics of the territory or the city.

Modern architecture

This conception of modern architecture also extends to the vision of cities and their planning, as well as the concern to find the simplest, most rational and practical solutions for housing, trying to meet the reconstruction needs that the destruction of cities during World War II made urgent.

architecture consultancy

We are also architectural consultants.

The skills required are numerous. Whether it is the architects themselves, the engineers of the various specialities, the landscape architects who shape the surrounding landscape or the interior architects who complete the project by bringing the spaces to life.

Our experience and our experience of the world open up an immense horizon of possibilities that we make available to our clients. Because today architecture is a plural art.

architecture project

We are suitable for all types of projects.

Each architectural project is a challenge to fill the void of a space waiting for a meaning and a function. And it is to resolve this challenge that we appeal to creativity, ideas, the knowledge brought by study and experience. 

Each work has behind it a concept that makes the synthesis between the objectives, the constraints, the potential of the space and its own time. And that translates our answer to the initial question.

Jean Novel, one of the remarkable architects of our time, equates the role of the architect with that of the film director:

  • Both create a scenario of life

  • Both have a producer, the client and several teams to manage

  • Both set up a reality, fictional or to be lived

  • Both recreate a story that will materialise in emotions

However, for us, each architectural project is a journey until we reach a singular and unrepeatable result.

Who we are

We created GV+Arquitectos 11 years ago to provide our clients with an architecture of balance and quality. That is part of its time and of a global world, without pretending that authorship overrides everything else. Contemporary without denying the influences and traditions of each place. That it be as faceted as the knowledge that makes it up. We do not intend architecture to change the world. Only the life of our clients.

Value Proposition

Creativity and Multidisciplinarity

Our ambition is to be able to generate ideas that ultimately translate the objectives and wishes of our clients. We are creative and we treat each work with all the commitment and care because we know that it will always be unique. 

We are multidisciplinary because we know that an architectural project does not remain on paper and that only teamwork resolves the multiple dimensions that construction brings into play. Whether in its specialities, its surroundings or even its interior.

We provide our clients with all the necessary skills so that the project materialises in the best way. And so that in the end, you feel it is yours.

Experience and Equity

Our experience is not limited to architectural projects. We have worked in various industries. We have been and still are real estate developers. We have in-depth knowledge of the requirements and standards of the various branches of this activity.

We are both architects and architectural consultants. We know how to be fair and impartial. We analyse all our projects as if they were third party projects. We analyse other people's projects as if they were our own. So that the client is always the most satisfied. Our knowledge and our team are always at the service of the truth of art. At the service of what we believe should be the purpose of a work of architecture. To create quality of life.

Cost Control

We know how important the financial dimension of a project is. Knowing the client's available investment is a work imperative. Good ideas and good projects are those that are able to solve a problem, a challenge with the existing constraints. And one of the most important will always be the financial one.

That is why we budget rigorously and use all our experience and knowledge of the activity to ensure that the budget for the work is precisely in line with what is intended and with the previously defined availability. That is why we are extremely demanding when it comes to cost control.
