Based in Barcelona, the practice of Hue Studio, founded by the young architect Sergi Viñals, operates at the intersection of architectural design, academic research and editorial activity. Since its inception, the studio has approached architecture as an open platform for collaboration, where the project is understood as a space of exchange between disciplines, knowledge and diverse agents.

Educated at the UIC Barcelona School of Architecture, Viñals belongs to a generation of architects who understand the project not merely as a formal exercise, but as a tool for addressing social, environmental and political questions. His studio explores precisely these connections between architecture and contemporary reality, developing experimental proposals that seek to respond to the complexity of everyday life with solutions that are clear, coherent and resilient.

Hue Studio’s work often unfolds through collaborative platforms, where the design process is enriched by external perspectives and by interaction with other disciplines. This approach reflects an open conception of architecture, interested in moving beyond the traditional boundaries of the profession and in exploring new ways of producing space in dialogue with society.

Despite its recent trajectory, the studio has already received notable recognition in public architectural competitions, particularly in the fields of social housing and collective facilities. In 2025, Hue Studio was awarded first prize in the competition organised by IMPSOL for the construction of social housing in Tiana (Barcelona), a proposal that explores new forms of living based on sustainability, community life and integration with the landscape of the Maresme.

That same year, the studio also obtained first prize for 91 social housing units in Poblenou, together with several recognitions in competitions for public facilities and collective housing within the metropolitan area of Barcelona.

Overall, Hue Studio’s practice occupies a territory where architecture is conceived as an instrument of research, social responsibility and design experimentation. Through projects that engage with their urban and territorial contexts, Sergi Viñals explores new ways of living capable of responding to the contemporary tensions between sustainability, community and the city.
