Juan Montoliu Hernández studied architecture at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (ETSAM) and holds a Master’s in Environmental Design from the Architectural Association School of Architecture in London —one of the most influential architecture schools in the world— a training that has profoundly shaped his understanding of the relationship between space, environment and sustainability.
His professional career unfolds between Madrid and London. After his early years at Ruiz-Larrea & Asociados in Madrid, where he built his foundation in sustainable architecture and building rehabilitation, he moved to London to join Feilden Clegg Bradley Studios LLP, an internationally renowned firm known for its commitment to rigorous design and low-impact architecture. He later worked as Senior Architect at F3 Architects LLP, consolidating a career defined by technical excellence and uncompromising quality.
In 2018 he returned to Spain and founded his own practice in Valencia, Montoliu Hernández, where he serves as Architect Director. The studio is today a firm committed to timelessness, craftsmanship and respect for the built environment: an architecture that not only addresses the functional needs of those who inhabit it, but is capable of conveying the history, character and unique values of each place.
His work reflects a conviction: that good architecture is born from listening, precision and a deep respect for materials, heritage and people.
