Meet H Arquitectes
H Arquitectes is based in Sabadell, Barcelona. The studio was established in 2000 by David Lorente Ibáñez, Josep Ricart Ulldemolins, Xavier Ros Majó, and Roger Tudó Galí.
Their buildings are filled with evidence of the process of construction and material transformation. They have been at the forefront of experiments in passive heating and cooling and argue that the conditions inside buildings should mirror their surroundings more closely.
The jury was struck by the way their work deals boldly with history and the city, integrating existing structures into buildings that work for their current inhabitants.
