Concept, Methodology and

VALUES

Architecture is born from an idea, but it is also a reality that must answer to the specific and unique needs of each customer and each environment. That is why each project is unique.

The topography and orientation of the plot, the customer’s lifestyle and timetable… Knowing how to read the context (physical and human) of the project and being able to provide an optimal response allows us to create unique and personal spaces, and to transmit to the customer the feeling that the architect is the tool he can rely on to fulfil the project of his dreams. A unique project, created for a customer and for a specific place. A tailor-made suit ready to be inhabited.
The creative philosophy of Raul Garcia Studio is based and developed around the following concepts:

Essentialism

Generating simple, but not simplistic, spaces. Simplicity understood as the will to reduce to the irreducible without renouncing ambition, using the minimum required elements, with poetic rigour so that nothing exceeds but nothing lacks.

Contextualism

Discussing with the context, whether physical, historical, political, cultural… so that architecture is integrated and is not conceived as an alien entity to its surroundings.

Sensibility

Creating phenomenological architecture; spaces to live in and to be lived in. Experienced, perceived through every sense. The materiality, the light, the routes as an almost theatrical sequentiality… all to provide a full experimentation of the built space.

Creativity, Precision and Innovation

Seeking excellence outside our comfort zone, with creative freedom to take on new challenges in which the rigour of the process and the quality of the result remain the priority.

Confidence

Generating confidence in all the agents of the project, especially in the customer as a key part of the gear, through a humane, empathetic and transparent treatment that allows the customer to enjoy the process.

Team

Fostering team spirit, where all parties have an important role to play and work in a supportive, passionate and rigorous approach with a common goal: the excellence in the final result.
