Oliver Segura Arquitectura is a Barcelona-based studio specialising in the rehabilitation, restoration and conservation of architectural heritage. Since its founding in 2016, the studio has developed a practice steadily oriented towards intervention on existing buildings: masies, village houses, Modernista estates, historic palaces and other architecturally valuable constructions that constitute the bulk of its activity.

Oliver Segura trained at the Escola d’Arquitectura La Salle of the Universitat Ramon Llull, where he completed his degree in Architecture between 2010 and 2016, including an international exchange year at the Facultade de Arquitetura e Urbanismo Escola da Cidade in São Paulo. Before graduating, he studied for the Master in Restoration of Architectural Monuments at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, a postgraduate programme specialising in the study and design of the restoration of monuments, ensembles and historic landscapes. He extended his training with the Postgraduate in Integral Rehabilitation of Buildings at the Escola Sert of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (2017–2018) and with a specialist course in timber construction at the Universidad Politécnica de Madrid (2020–2021). This accumulated formation — architectural, heritage-focused and technical — defines a profile that extends into continuous specialisation.

For Segura, rehabilitation means not only conservation but also interpretation. Each existing building poses a conversation between past and present. What must be preserved, what can be transformed and how to incorporate new ways of inhabiting without blurring the identity of the place. In that balance — tense and necessary — between conservation and contemporaneity lies the core of his work, which approaches each intervention with respect for the original constructive systems, the material memory of the building and its relationship with the landscape.

This way of designing translates into solutions that the studio itself defines as serene, precise and honest. Spatial, constructive and energy responses consistent with the building and its surroundings, capable of bringing out the value of what exists without relinquishing the current requirements of comfort, functionality and sustainability. An architecture that gives continuity to the building’s own history.

Alongside technical rigour, the studio’s working process is distinguished by a relational dimension that Segura understands as a constitutive part of the commission. Accompanying the client through all phases of the project, from the first conversations to the construction work, is grounded in closeness, trust and continuous dialogue. In this conception, architecture is a shared process in which every decision arises from technical rigour, sensitivity and attention to detail.
