Velezcarrasco Arquitecto
The man behind Velezcarrasco Arquitecto is Óskar Vélez Carrasco, born in the Basque Country but ended up working as an architect in Barcelona. In the Catalan city he worked on large and massive projects such as hospitals, office buildings, and even golf court headquarters. However, for him the most rewarding part of his job was the eye-to-eye contact with the client, getting to know their exact wished and needs and then work from there. He thought over everything and finally decided to start his own firm as an architect, so he could be directly in touch with the person that eventually would end up in his project. He wants to experience the challenge of building a project, the good moments and the bad moments together with his client. His close relationship with his clients has resulted in some really awesome work! Can you imagine laying in that pool, enjoying the sunset?
