About us

We equip an elegant, humanist, and sustainable architecture.

With over 10 years of experience, at equipema we place sustainability and our clients’ quality of life at the heart of our designs. Based in Barcelona and founded in 2014, equipema is an architectural firm specializing in new construction projects, interior renovations, restoration of listed buildings, and furniture design.

We understand architecture as the art of setting boundaries and creating an optimal connection between materials, landscape, climate, history, and culture, with the aim of creating true refuges. We are dedicated to the constant pursuit of excellence.

We are experts in designing nearly zero-energy buildings, adopting passive solutions that minimize energy demand. Our architecture is characterized by being elegant, humanist, sustainable, and personalized.

Our goal is always to meet the demands of our customers and contribute to improving their lives.

At equipema, we accompany our clients through all phases of their project, from initial advice on land purchase to architectural design and construction supervision. 

Our services are focused on addressing everything related to:

Architecture, Interior design, and Urban Planning.

Creation of functional and aesthetically pleasing interior spaces, including the selection of materials, colors, furniture, and lighting, all tailored to the client's needs and preferences.

Supervision and management of project construction, ensuring that quality standards, established deadlines, and agreed budgets are met.

Conception and development of customized furniture that perfectly fits the space and style of the project, combining functionality and design.

Analysis and evaluation of real estate projects to determine their profitability, including market studies, construction costs, and profit forecasts.

Planning and design of public spaces and urban infrastructures, considering aspects such as mobility, sustainability, and integration with the existing environment.

Development of urban plans at different scales, from general plans to partial or detailed plans, to guide the growth and development of urban areas.

Advising on sustainable development strategies, including environmental impact assessments, implementation of sustainability measures, and compliance with environmental regulations.

Analysis of climatic and environmental conditions to optimize building design, improving energy efficiency and user comfort.

Precise measurement of spaces for the planning and execution of architectural and interior design projects.

Creation of three-dimensional models and rendered images to visualize architectural projects before construction, allowing better understanding and presentation of the design.
