Twobo Arquitectura is an architecture studio based in Barcelona, founded by architects Pablo Twose, María Pancorbo and Alberto Twose. Since its beginnings more than fifteen years ago, the studio has focused its practice on housing projects and architectures of a domestic scale, understood as spaces where the essential decisions of contemporary living are concentrated.
Twobo’s work is defined by a rigorous approach to physical and climatic context, in which orientation, topography and environmental conditions become active components of the project from its earliest stages. Architecture is constructed through clear geometries and precise spatial systems, where each element responds to a recognisable functional and constructive logic. There are no superfluous gestures: form is always the result of a creative process, developed in an artisanal manner, seeking an apparent simplicity that adapts to each client.
One of the constant lines of research in their work is the role of intermediate spaces—patios, porches, controlled voids—as structures capable of organising the dwelling and regulating the relationship between interior and exterior. These spaces act as articulators of everyday life, modulating light, climate and sequences of use, and providing spatial depth without resorting to unnecessary complexity.
The studio works through a very close relationship with the client, understanding the project as a shared construction in which real needs, habits and time of use carry decisive weight. This attention to ways of living translates into durable architectures, conceived to age well, where constructive detail and the choice of materials form part of the same logic of coherence and economy of means.
Sustainability in Twobo’s projects is not formulated as an added argument, but as a direct consequence of designing with precision: passive climatic control, use of local resources, efficient constructive systems and a clear commitment to permanence. Architecture is thus understood as a stable support for everyday life, rather than as an object of representation.
The studio’s work has been widely published in national and international specialised media. Projects such as Casa Tres Patis have consolidated the recognition of Twobo Arquitectura within the contemporary Spanish architectural landscape, highlighting its ability to develop a serene, coherent architecture deeply connected to the experience of inhabiting.
Twobo Arquitectura maintains an open and reflective practice, where each project is approached as a new exercise in adjustment between place, programme and construction. An architecture that is not explained through discourse, but through its continued use and its relationship with those who inhabit it.
