OFFICE

[ ‘nu ra ]

‘area or region in regards to its physical features in Australian aboriginal language’

Working together since 2010, Maria Sabrià and Albert López are nura arquitectes. The practice arises from the passion for architecture and design, focused on giving response to the place and the environment, doing so through the history and taking into consideration new ways of behaving and living.

Nura arquitectes is a multifunctional office born halfway between Catalonia and Australia. Specialized in architecture, interior design, landscape architecture and urban design, our projects are the result of a demanding architecture itself, emphasizing in sustainable buildings respectful with the environment.

Located in Palafrugell, heart of Baix Empordà (Girona).
