Why you would want architects from Andalusia, Spain on your team.
Architects from the Andalusian region of Spain have deep expertise in applying traditional Mediterranean concepts, in which low energy and water use are a given, to contemporary architecture. Making them even more interesting and valuable as collaborators is their extensive engineering training that is a significant part of the architecture education in Spain. Come eat some delicious food and drink from Andalusia and hear what our Andalusian architects have to offer. We will also be happy to meet with you and your colleagues privately in your office.

METABOLAIJosé Carlos Sánchez Romero
José Carlos Sánchez Romero [Studio of Architecture] was established in Seville in 1991. Since its beginnings, the Studio expressed its interest in different fields which reveal a polyhedral view of architectural work, which goes from interventions on the historical heritage, administrative, cultural and sporting buildings, singular architecture and social or private housing, to research work, conferences and publications.
