An independent studio, with no construction company of our own
We are an independent architecture studio, which allows us to defend your interests when the build is contracted. We select suitable contractors for the project, request several quotes and analyse them item by item.
One team. The whole process.
Your home, just as you imagined it.
-
Experienced architecture
Since 1976 we have taken on commissions of every scale, with a team spanning several generations of architects who master today’s tools.
-
Homes with soul
We start from your needs, the way you live and your goals to create a home that is unique, functional and has a character of its own.
-
Processes under control
The key is to define everything before building: a detailed technical project, materials and construction solutions, and full measurements of the works.
Homes designed by the studio
A selection of family homes developed by Almazán & Asociados.
Jorge Larco House
One of the key decisions was to open large windows towards the pool and connect the kitchen with the living room, unifying the day area and letting in natural light.

"Over several months we were lucky to share the extension of our house in Jávea with the Almazán & Asociados team. From the design to site management. […] Today we enjoy a beautiful second home thanks to their good work, but also to their optimism and reliability."
"We wanted to build a house and had very little time to devote to it. […] They listen and capture your ideas perfectly, they advise, they look after the light, the water, the materials… The result: a magnificent house to live in."
"This studio did our project and site management. Impeccable service. They listen to your idea, give it shape and meaning, and make you value their long experience. […] I would do it again without hesitation."
"We are very happy with the renovation of our flat in the centre of Valencia. From start to finish we felt completely at ease thanks to the architect’s excellent work."

We take your home from the first proposal to the finished build. We work in phases, each with its own deliverable, and make every decision with an eye on getting the most from your investment and reducing risk.
-
Preliminary phase: Preliminary work
We commission a topographic survey of the plot and consult the Town Hall and the water, electricity and sewerage companies. That way we know from the outset the planning and technical conditions that affect the project, so that everything designed afterwards is viable, legal and buildable.
- Deliverable
- Topographic survey
- Meeting
- Kick-off: we explain the process and its phases
-
Phase 1: Concept and design
We turn what you need and what you like into a concrete proposal: siting on the plot, layout, main spaces and floor areas. We also define the character of the house and how life flows through it. We compare options until we find the one that suits you best.
- Deliverable
- Outline design, with the floor plans that define the home
- Meeting
- Starting point: ideas and brief
-
Phase 2: Basic project
We develop the agreed solution in BIM, with Revit, and adapt it to planning regulations and technical requirements. With this project we prepare all the documentation for the permit application.
- Deliverable
- Basic project, with the technical documentation showing compliance with regulations
-
Phase 3: Permit management
We submit the project to an ECUV, the accredited body that carries out its technical and planning review, and deal with any requests until we obtain its certificates. We then apply for the building permit at the Town Hall and follow it up until it is granted.
- Deliverable
- ECUV technical and planning certificates, and building permit
-
Phase 4: Construction project
Working on the same model, we define in detail everything needed to build: construction systems, materials, services and structural calculations. Detailed measurements make it possible to control cost and request comparable quotes.
- Deliverable
- Construction project, with quality control plan and the project’s energy certificate
- Meeting
- Specification of finishes
-
Phase 5: Choosing the contractor
We select suitable contractors and ask them to quote on the same basis, so the offers are comparable. We analyse them for deviations, risks and possible improvements, negotiate the price, advise you on the choice and review the contract with you before you sign.
- Deliverable
- Quote comparison and building contract
- Meeting
- Choosing the contractor
-
Phase 6: Construction
We take on site management and construction supervision: we coordinate everyone involved, check materials and finishes before they are installed, approve the progress certificates and control the cost. At the end, we handle the final paperwork so you receive the house ready to live in.
- Deliverable
- Completion certificate, first-occupation documents, as-built drawings and building logbook
- Follow-up
- Weekly site visits
Four working principles
We want the result to live up to your expectations in design, quality and budget.
- Clear planning from the startWe organise every phase so you always know what is being done, which decisions need to be made and what the next steps are.
- Technical and cost controlWe weigh every decision on its design, feasibility, cost and durability, and keep control of the budget and of the works.
- Coordination and full managementWe coordinate consultants, contractors and suppliers so the process runs smoothly and in order.
- Support all the wayWe are with you from start to finish and advise you on every decision, so you can face each phase calmly and with confidence.
Communication. During the project, email is the main channel: it keeps all the information in one place and records every decision. Our aim is to answer any question within 48 working hours.
A team with a track record
Since 1976 we have carried out architecture and engineering projects for private clients, developers and builders. The experience gained on commissions of every scale lets us approach each home with the full picture: we look after the design, its technical feasibility, the cost and the construction.
We are a family practice where several generations of architects work together. Experience meets new ideas, creativity and command of today’s tools. That is how we look for solutions that meet both your needs and the construction challenges of each project.
A personal approach is part of the way we work. We listen to your needs, advise you with professional judgement and keep communication clear throughout the project and the build. That is how we build a relationship of trust, based on technical rigour and the commitment of the whole team.
Track record. 2nd prize in the competition to redesign Plaza de Castilla (Madrid, 1986). Projects published in Las Provincias, the Madrid Association of Architects’ magazine and the Danish magazine TEGL.

Frequently asked questions
Do you handle the whole process, from the first idea to the finished build?
Yes. We are with you throughout: preliminary studies, design, project, permit, technical development, contractor selection, tendering, site management and control, and final documentation.
Our aim is for you to have a single team coordinating the whole process, so you can make the important decisions calmly while we take care of managing the rest.
Do you do new builds and full renovations of detached homes?
Yes. We specialise both in designing new detached homes and in full renovations and extensions.
In both cases we start from your needs, the way you live and your goals to create a home that is unique, functional and has a character of its own.
Where do you work?
We have offices in Valencia and Jávea and work mainly in Valencia and its surroundings and in the Marina Alta, but we take on projects anywhere in Spain.
If your plot or house is somewhere else, tell us where and we will look at the project with you.
How much does it cost to build or renovate a home?
It depends on the floor area, the type of work, the finishes and the complexity of the project. That is why, from the earliest phases, we work with the available budget in mind so that design and cost develop together.
As the project takes shape, the cost estimate becomes more precise, until we request comparable quotes from several contractors before the build is contracted.
In the first meeting, by video call and free of charge, we give you a first idea of what your home would cost.
How do you keep the budget under control and avoid surprises during the build?
The key is to define everything before building. We develop a detailed technical project, specify materials and construction solutions and take full measurements of the works.
We then request and compare quotes from different contractors and, during construction, we check progress certificates, changes and costs to minimise deviations and keep the budget under control.
How long does the whole process take until my home is finished?
Every project has its own timeline, depending on its complexity, the administrative procedures and the length of the build.
From the start we set out a plan for the different phases and explain the main milestones, so you know what will happen, when, and what the next steps are.
Do you have your own construction company? How do we choose who builds my house?
No. We are an independent architecture studio, which allows us to defend your interests when the build is contracted.
We select suitable contractors for the project, request several quotes and analyse them item by item. We compare prices, scope, possible omissions and terms to help you choose on cost, quality, financial strength and reliability, not just on the final price.
How involved will I need to be during the project and the build?
We want you to take part in the decisions that really define your home, without having to manage the complexity of the process.
We schedule the key meetings and decisions from the start. You decide on design, layout, materials and key questions; we take care of coordinating consultants, authorities, contractors and the site.
How will we choose the materials and finishes for the home?
Together. During the project we will draw up a specification of finishes in which we make the main decisions on materials, windows and doors, flooring, bathrooms, kitchen, lighting and outdoor areas.
We will advise you with design, quality, durability, maintenance and budget in mind, so that every decision is part of a coherent whole.
Can I make changes during the project?
Yes. Especially in the early phases, the project evolves until we find the right solution.
Our method aims to make the important decisions before moving on to the technical phases and, above all, before building. The earlier a change is made, the smaller its impact on cost, timing and the progress of the works.
How will I know where my project stands?
From the start you will have a plan with the project’s main phases, meetings, decisions and deliverables.
We will meet at the key moments and important decisions will be recorded in writing. Email will be our main channel of communication, and our aim is to answer questions within 48 working hours.
What happens when I send the form?
We call you on the number you give us to hear about your project, with no obligation.
Then we set up the first meeting: it is by video call and free of charge. In it we review your plot, what can be built and what it would cost.
