happy clients :)

A super professional architecture studio with very good taste. They were in charge of the “Botànic 2.0” project, which is already uploaded on their website. They work in a very methodical way, always making life easy for the client regardless of the complexity of the project. Communication is excellent, and they pay close attention to quality and execution times. Highly recommended.

Piano Piano is an architecture studio with fresh and beautiful ideas. ❤️

It was a great decision to contact them to renovate our house. From the very beginning, the project won us over with its personality and originality. We felt very supported throughout the process, and whenever a problem came up, they took care of finding a quick and effective solution. A friendly and easy-going treatment. We would work with them again without a doubt.

We were certain about who was going to carry out the full renovation of our house. From the very first meeting—the way they approached the project, their ideas, how the work was developed and executed—everything went smoothly, with them always on top of every detail. … Now we have a truly unique herringbone-style home!

At home we are very happy to have relied on them for a partial renovation. They not only provided solutions to our needs but also managed to create a beautiful, bright space for us. They are very professional and approachable, guiding you throughout the entire process and supervising the work while taking care of every detail.
In addition, they are up to date with the latest trends but give each home a personal and unique touch. You know they will never design two houses alike, yet all of them turn out beautiful.
A 10 out of 10.

I had the pleasure of working with the Piano Piano team on the design of my house, “De la Plaça al Palau,” and I couldn’t be happier with the result. From the very beginning, they were incredibly committed to the project, showing great professionalism and passion for their work.
What impressed me most was their ability to provide creative solutions to every challenge that arose throughout the process. They are a resourceful team that knows how to adapt and bring innovative ideas, always keeping our needs and wishes in mind.
The process was very smooth, with an attention to detail that exceeded my expectations. From the initial concept to the final execution, each phase was carefully planned and carried out with great care.
Without a doubt, I would recommend Piano Piano to anyone looking for an architecture studio that combines creativity, problem-solving skills, and absolute commitment to the project. I’m very happy with my new home and grateful for all the work and dedication they put into making it a reality.

María and María have been very professional from the very beginning with our full renovation project (La Retícula Salpicada). We met as many times as needed during the design phase, and they took care of all the paperwork. In the end, the apartment turned out fantastic both aesthetically and functionally.

The best thing about trusting María and María is precisely that: being able to trust. Being able to establish a smooth dialogue in such a stressful situation as a renovation is without a doubt one of their strongest points. We embraced their idea of the “Octógono de Pelayo,” and it has turned out wonderfully.

Our project “El camino de la almazara”, the regeneration of the almazara–washhouse space in the village of La Artejuela, Arañuel, carried out together with mha and Carpe, has been selected as one of the eighteen awarded works at the 17th Spanish Biennial of Architecture and Urbanism (BEAU) / Flujos Comunes, curated by Ander Bados and Miguel Ramón and promoted by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Agenda, the Spanish Council of Architects’ Associations (CSCAE), and the Arquia Foundation.

The award ceremony, which we attended with great pleasure and enthusiasm, took place last December 11th at La Térmica Cultural in Ponferrada, an incredible space that has been revived and transformed from a former thermal power plant into a multi-purpose venue dedicated to art and knowledge.

In addition to the award ceremony, the exhibition featuring all the awarded proposals (eighteen built works, fifteen dissemination projects, and twenty final degree projects) was inaugurated. The exhibition can be visited at La Térmica Cultural until March 15th, 2026, and will later travel to other cities such as Madrid, Valencia, Tokyo, and Lima.

We are very happy with the recognition the project is receiving. This is the most recent one, but we have previously received others: a Mention in the “Urbanism and Landscape” category at the COACV Awards 2025, an Honourable Mention in the Architecture category at the 24th Ascer Ceramics Awards, selection in the Architecture Awards organised by the CSCAE, and finalist at the Architecture Plus by Daikin Awards organised by Grupo Vía in the Under40 category.

We are very proud that a small project, almost an act of acupuncture, located in a remote village in an inland region of the province of Castelló, has been recognised by so many prestigious juries alongside works of greater scale and scope. From the very beginning, we wanted it to be a project deeply rooted in its territory—sensitive, humble, and respectful of its surroundings, yet not mimetic—where the use of ceramic could merge with the natural environment and, rather than radically transforming it, highlight the identity of the place and recover its heritage and community value.
