Sustainability
Transcending the present to project the future
At ADORAS Atelier Arquitectura, we have been working on architecture, landscape and urban planning since we were founded in 2015. We look to the future to bring it closer to the present. This philosophy, which is rooted in our workshop, drives us to improve in every project we develop. We believe that with good urban planning – from the bottom up – we can prepare cities for their demographic and social changes, avoid dehumanised metropolises and create spaces that truly respond to people’s lives. A city that puts people and nature back at the centre.
To make this a reality, we work across disciplines to add value through innovative solutions that avoid conventionalism and respond to new challenges to solve the climate emergency. Only in this way can we create spaces that combine the avant-garde with functionality and shape the future of our cities.
This philosophy has enabled us to win several environmental awards and to pioneer the achievement of the first BREEAM certificate in Spain at the level of Planning-Urbanism.
An universal legacy
Our horizon
We are moving into an increasingly complex and demanding world. Clients are looking for architectural projects with a distinctive identity, which adopt an environmental and social perspective and respond to their ESG objectives. The reconnection of the self with nature and the efficient creation of social value will be highly valued criteria, approached from a holistic vision to ensure people’s wellbeing and environmental commitment.
Since our inception, we have been driving technical, environmental and social innovation, creating meeting spaces that combine avant-garde and functionality, and shaping the future of our cities.
Areas of action
Environmental
ADORAS atelier arquitectura’s environmental strategy is based on actions aimed at minimising negative impacts on the environment. We adopt sustainable solutions in architecture and urban planning, applying energy efficiency strategies, passive and active solutions and renewable energies. We are committed to integrating these innovations to create a sustainable future in the present.
Social
At ADORAS atelier arquitectura we are committed to our community and our employees. We provide optimal working conditions and a healthy and respectful environment. We promote inclusion, job security and professional development, recognising that our people are one of our most valuable assets. We also actively participate in social projects to promote community development.
Governmental
We establish a set of policies, rules and principles that govern the internal structure and operation of ADORAS atelier arquitectura to ensure good practice in the conduct of our business.
Certificates and commitment
At ADORAS atelier arquitectura we use one of the most advanced and world-leading sustainability assessment and certification methods in the construction sector. We have over 3806 certified homes and were the first architectural practice in Spain to obtain the BREEAM Urbanism certificate at the design stage.
Architecture must go beyond aesthetics and functionality to prioritise the health and well-being of those who inhabit and use our spaces. This is why we recognise the importance of Fitwel certification in our projects, which provides essential guidelines for designing and operating buildings that care for the well-being of the community.
