Silvia Mallafré develops her practice at the intersection of interior architecture, environmental health, and a sensitivity to natural processes. An interior designer, bioarchitect, and geobiologist, her trajectory has been shaped by a constant inquiry: understanding how spaces influence the physical and emotional wellbeing of those who inhabit them.

Trained in interior design at Elisava, she expanded her education through international experiences at the Winchester School of Art (University of Southampton) and the UIAH in Helsinki. Years later, she added a specialization in bioarchitecture at Universitat Pompeu Fabra, where she deepened her research into the relationship between construction, habitat biology, and applied sustainability. This shift marked a turning point in her understanding of the project—not only as an aesthetic or functional matter, but as a living environment capable of directly affecting health.

Her early professional years unfolded within architecture and interior design studios, working on residential, commercial, and refurbishment projects. This stage provided a solid technical foundation and a direct understanding of the building process. Over time, her practice evolved toward a more personal approach, integrating tools from geobiology and bioconstruction into interior design.

Since 2011, she has worked independently, focusing on the creation of healthy spaces for homes and workplaces. Her work combines design with the analysis of the invisible layers of the built environment—natural radiation, air quality, materials, orientation, and electromagnetic fields—proposing solutions that balance technical knowledge and sensitivity. In parallel, she has promoted initiatives related to housing and rehabilitation in Barcelona, exploring more conscious and human-centered ways of inhabiting.

Silvia Mallafré’s practice is defined by a calm and attentive approach, where each project begins with listening. Her work is built through accompaniment, addressing both the physical conditions of space and the personal stories that run through it. At the intersection of science, intuition, and everyday experience lies the core of her research. Her trajectory outlines a singular position within contemporary interior design: a perspective that understands design as a form of care.
