The young Spanish practice H Arquitectes likes to build in brick – but their houses are anything but domestic. Partner Xavier Ros Majó explains their passion for clay.
Three of the single-family-houses your office has designed
make heavy use of brick. Is this a favourite material of yours?
H Arquitectes is an architecture studio established in 2000 and based in Sabadell, Barcelona. The studio is managed by four partner architects: David Lorente Ibáñez (Granollers, *1972), Josep Ricart Ulldemolins (Cerdanyola del Vallès, *1973), Xavier Ros Majó (Sabadell, *1972) and Roger Tudó Galí (Terrassa, *1973). All of them licensed between 1998 and 2000 in the E.T.S.A. Vallès. They have lectured across Europe and America and their works have been recognised with several awards and have also been featured in several exhibitions.
