Estudi Biga offers comprehensive solutions tailored to each need, covering all scales and levels of complexity.
Estudi Biga’s architectural practice encourages clients to take ownership of the design process, guiding them through each phase and its complexities. We advocate for an educational approach that enables our clients to understand and actively engage in the creation of the project. Every decision made is rooted in a solid foundation, based on the shared vision between the client and the team.
The approach to each project begins with a holistic vision that considers the interconnection between different urban and social scales. The studio’s methodology is based on the ability to manage multiple levels, from the design of large urban spaces to the integration of small details that enrich the surrounding environment. Flexibility and adaptation to the diversity of contexts are essential.
The goal is for each space to be an authentic extension of its inhabitants; through a process aimed at ensuring that the client not only sees but feels the space, with clear and fluid communication at every stage of the project. Images, renders, plans, and models are the tools used to make the evolution of the proposal more understandable and visual, ensuring that the client feels involved in the process.
Sustainability and energy efficiency are fundamental principles in all the office’s projects. The aim is to incorporate innovative and environmentally friendly energy solutions throughout all stages of design and construction. From passive energy optimization to the integration of renewable sources, each intervention is designed to not only respect the environment but also enhance the well-being of its users.
Economic control is a priority at Estudi Biga, ensuring that every phase of the project is executed within budget and without surprises. Through detailed and rigorous monitoring, we ensure that the client is always informed and at ease throughout the process. Clear and periodic reports are provided, guaranteeing both deadline compliance and the efficient optimization of resources.
