METHOD

Working method of Abalos+Sentkiewicz Arquitectos is, from the firsts steps of the project, based on integration of energy, statics, materiality and landscape, through the creation of interdisciplinary teams to guarantee the synergy between quality, innovation and integration that defines the profile of the firm.

This basic scheme adapts to the specific circumstances of each project under the principle of “building the project of the project” in conversation with all the involved agents to guarantee the best creative and participative atmosphere.
Each project is developed through a Project Manager architect and a team of external and internal collaborators. All the projects receive constant and personalized attention of Iñaki Ábalos and Renata Sentkiewicz from the the first steps until the execution.

The office has a group of widely experimented collaborators: the most prestigious in every field. In each case this team is reinforced or modified with experts or local architects guarantying the maximum adaptation to the local uniqueness and maintaining the characteristic quality of the firm.
