Workshop Jose Berrueta Architecture - Design - and more

rous study of all possibilities, regulations and the client's brief allows provide different options of development and design, increasing the clients profit and the efficient use of the available resources.

- We listen to our clients: Nothing is done without a close collaboration with the client; The building is not an object to fulfil the architects caprice but the realization of the client's needs. We keep asking questions.

- Each project is unique:
No given formulas or previously tested solutions are applied. Each project is a completely new case, with specific conditions and requirements; Each case has its particular qualities; We look for them and take the best out of them. After a detailed and careful analysis and the introduction of all facts and needs, different design options are studied; Any is underestimated, all are consider. Then a specific "primary concept" is put in place and used as "guideline"; It organizes the building -gives order and structure- and most important, brings singularity and a recognizable image.

- Creativity has no size or budget:
The size, theme or budget of the project is not relevant; We take with the same professionalism and seriousness any project from a piece of furniture to an urban plan and treat all of them with extreme care.

- Functionality is a must, not an extra:
Conceptual and artistic approach fulfilling 100% functionality, comfort and technical quality.

- We give creative answers for the same construction cost:
Special ideas are not more expensive: a book is not good for the quality of the paper, the ink or the golden letters on the cover but for the literature and poetry that it contents.

- The answer must be beautiful:
Problem solving mind but with original design and aesthetics; Emotions are not complementary but essential part of the design. Surprise and unusual details should invade the building giving singularity and emotions to every space. Details and materials are what finally conform the spaces; They are close to people, therefore should be taken with special care to produce the desired feelings and provide tactile quality.

- Construction quality and technical solutions are obligatory:
New technologies are not an option or an "style"; They, together with construction quality, have to be guaranteed and should be a given fact. We have the "know-how".

- Cost and schedule are always in mind:
The artistic approach does not mean a lack on professionalism; Rigorous control of the cost and schedule are inseparable part of the process of project

- Architecture and design is more than construction:
A building should not be just a box where life can be fitted inside. It is an extension of the human body and with today's technologies it can carry many other functions than the traditional closure and protection. The architectural components of a building can also be a media to enhance different activities. Thus the building becomes an interface between the body and the world where man can perform needs and desires and at the same time enjoy beauty, emotions and pleasure; That is our goal.
