STUDIO

mateoarquitectura was founded in November 1981 by Josep Lluís Mateo. With its team of experienced architecture professionals, the practice has developed a wide range of competences (office buildings, urbanism, public spaces, housing…) and the ability to adapt to the international arena.

For each of its projects, mateoarquitectura tries to connect the constructive activity (with a particular interest for all pragmatic aspects of the profession) with the research and development both intellectual and programmatic. It works on the line that separates the universe of ideas from the physical world of reality.
