The selection of the 30 best architecture studios in Spain by Architizer reflects the richness and diversity of the current architectural landscape. This list brings together established firms alongside emerging voices, all characterized by formal excellence, a strong commitment to sustainability, and international reach.

Among the selected studios is Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, known for a minimalist and sculptural architecture that stands out for its formal purity, refined use of materials, and meticulous attention to natural light.

In addition to Fran Silvestre Arquitectos, the ranking includes names such as RCR Arquitectes, Pritzker Prize winners in 2017, whose deeply site-integrated works have been praised for their poetic strength and constructive precision. Also featured are Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos, specialists in museum interventions, and Mansilla + Tuñón, authors of the iconic MUSAC in León. The list also highlights Estudio Herreros, who brought Spanish architecture to Oslo with the Munch Museum, and SelgasCano, whose colorful and experimental approach has stood out in events like the Serpentine Gallery.

The inclusion of Fran Silvestre Arquitectos underscores the value of an architecture that, without resorting to formal complexity, conveys serenity, coherence, and effective beauty. Based in Valencia, the studio combines spatial research, technical precision, and a constant dialogue with Mediterranean tradition. Their work, present in both single-family homes and international developments, represents an understanding of architecture as a synthesis of art, engineering, and emotion.

Altogether, this selection by Architizer confirms that Spain remains one of the most fertile grounds for contemporary architecture. The coexistence of emerging and established studios, of bold proposals and rigorous approaches, shapes an architectural map where both innovation and contextual respect are valued. Studios like Fran Silvestre, which pursue an essential and timeless aesthetic, are a testament to the maturity, excellence, and international projection that define Spanish architecture today.
