08023 Architects is a Barcelona-based architecture studio established in 2008 by Cristina Mora and David Jiménez, both graduates of the Barcelona Architecture School. The studio is small and locally rooted, and its founders remain directly involved in the design process, emphasizing a collaborative approach with clients. Decisions about project objectives, spatial use, and design features are made through client interviews and follow-ups, aiming to create spaces tailored to individual needs.
The organisation works on a range of projects including private residences, unique single-family houses, and small buildings around Barcelona and its surroundings. Their portfolio includes the Barcelona Container House, notable for its use of recycled shipping containers and an emphasis on environmentally responsible construction. This project allowed the client to participate directly in building, reflecting the firm's open and adaptive process.
08023 Architects is also noted for designing spaces that maximize emotional comfort and functionality, such as multi-unit housing with flexible interiors. Their work incorporates ecological principles and cost efficiency, ensuring clients only pay for what is essential to their way of life.
Currently, the firm’s projects continue to focus on custom, energy-efficient architecture and remain centered on the partnership between architect and client. 08023 Architects maintains a modest scale and a selective project scope to ensure individual attention and quality in each commission.
