At Laboqueria Arquitectura, our cross-cutting methodology teaches us that commitment to the environment must go hand in hand with human well-being. The problem we face is clear: according to the WHO, we spend almost 90% of our time indoors, and the air we breathe (at home and at work) is often up to five times more polluted than the air outside.

On November 24, our partner Alfons Tornero, from Laboqueria Arquitectura, participated in the session “Learning. Teaching Architecture, the transdisciplinary team and professional placement”, organized by the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (COAC). The day was a space for inspiring exchange and debate, where key issues about academic training and professional practice in the field of housing were addressed.

Architecture is undergoing a profound transformation. In a context marked by climate change, rising energy costs, and the need to rethink how we live, bioclimatic design is becoming a key tool for creating the spaces of the future: healthier, more efficient, and more connected to their surroundings.

At Laboqueria Arquitectura, we apply the principles of bioclimatic architecture to all our projects, integrating sustainability, material health, and community well-being as inseparable elements of the architectural process.

At Laboqueria Arquitectura we understand rehabilitation and renovation as an opportunity to transform existing homes, highlighting their heritage, history and urban context, while improving the quality of life and energy efficiency of the interiors.

House 5102, located in the dense fabric of Barcelona, ​​is a clear example of this philosophy. The intervention starts from the conservation of the heritage facade, which maintains the memory of the original building and dialogues with the new interventions, establishing a balance between preservation and innovation.

In a context of climate crisis, rising energy costs, and a loss of social cohesion, sustainable architecture is no longer a trend but a necessity. At Laboqueria Arquitectura, we work to demonstrate that another way of building and living is possible: one that is more respectful of the environment, healthier for people, and more deeply rooted in the land.

Our methodology integrates elements such as environmental sustainability, the health of materials, energy efficiency, and social impact, thus generating housing, renovation, and new construction projects with a cooperative and flexible vision.

At Laboqueria Arquitectura, we are committed to a new way of living — more efficient, healthy, and respectful of the environment. Our work in the energy rehabilitation of single-family homes in Vallès aims to give a second life to existing houses, improving their energy performance and comfort without losing their essence.

At Laboqueria Arquitectura, we are very pleased to announce that we have been included in the Professionals Guide of the Obras Maestras, Special Renovations issue of the prestigious magazine Arquitectura y Diseño, among the top architectural studios in Spain.

This recognition places us alongside prominent references such as Darro 18 Arquitectos, Estudio Ricardo de la Torre, Lizarriturry Tuneu, Sanmartin Guix, Dom Arquitectura, Estudio Vilablanch, Mar+Ask, Septiembre Arquitectura, Düem Studio, Iker López Estudio, Nhoma Estudio, Turull Sørensen, Durietz Design & Development, Piano Piano, and Vora.

The Parliament of Catalonia has approved the Statute of Rural Municipalities, a law that recognizes the value of small villages and aims to curb their depopulation through concrete measures such as tax benefits, bureaucratic simplification, and urban planning support tailored to their specific needs. According to an article published in La Vanguardia on July 17, 2025, this legislation will benefit 608 rural municipalities, acknowledging the need for a differentiated approach to preserve the territory and rural life.
