Murado & Elvira Architects

Murado & Elvira is a Madrid-based multidisciplinary office founded by Juan Elvira and Clara Murado in 2003, dedicated to innovative architecture and interior design. Their work has been awarded in many national and international competitions, and has been exhibited at prestigious venues as the Mostra Internazionale di Architettura of La Biennale di Venezia or the Bienal de Arquitectura Española. It has been finalist at the Norwegian national architecture prize Staten Byggeskikkpris 2012 and selected at the Bienal Española de Arquitectura y Urbanismo 2013. With a youthful team of professionals, their projects are covering different scales and scopes, from housing and renovations to public buildings. Juan Elvira and Clara Murado like to say they design spaces that breathe. Relaxed, loose fit environments that allow for an immediate personal appropriation of the user. A sustainable approach to design is the guiding principle on which Murado & Elvira’s research and production is based, where user participation, shared creativity and building techniques seek to benefit both society and nature.
