SEA ARCHITECTURE STUDIO

SEA Arquitectos is an architecture studio in A Coruña built around a clear idea: to design spaces that work well and, at the same time, are lived intensely. Starting from maximum functionality, each project is developed by thinking about what the user perceives through the five senses in order to achieve an architectural experience that is precise, human, and enduring.

Our work focuses on contemporary architecture, housing, refurbishment, and interior design. We understand each commission as a specific response to the place, the client’s way of life, and the atmosphere that architecture should create. We do not look for repeated formulas, but for well-considered, coherent solutions capable of standing the test of time.

What defines us

We are interested in architecture that is sober, sensitive, and well built. Architecture grounded in functionality, but not limited to technical performance; architecture that incorporates emotion, perception, and character. That is why we work carefully with natural light, proportions, the texture of materials, the relationship with nature, and the way each space supports everyday life.

This approach allows us to develop residential and refurbishment projects with a soul of its own, always adapted to the specific needs of each commission. If you want to see how this way of working takes shape, you can explore our Selected or browse the All projects list.

Carlos Graña

Architect and master's graduate from the universities of A Coruña and Stuttgart. After working in the USA, Germany, and several studios in Spain, and collaborating in India with Balkrishna Doshi —2018 Pritzker Prize laureate—, he founded SEA Arquitectos in A Coruña. Currently a doctoral candidate in Swiss architecture, he combines professional practice with teaching; he has been coordinator of the Master's in Wood Design and Construction at Cesuga and has taught at ETSAC and the IUAV in Venice.

Guillermo Pomar

Architect trained at ETSAC, he joined SEA Arquitectos after working in Olot with RCR Arquitectes, winner of the 2017 Pritzker Prize, with Vincent Van Duysen in Antwerp, and with David Chipperfield Architects, winner of the 2023 Pritzker Prize.

How do we work

We are architects and we advocate an interdisciplinary way of working in which complementary knowledge allows us to go further. Architects, urban planners, engineers and specialists collaborate to achieve a common goal: the best possible architecture for each context.

A large part of architecture is conceived only to be seen. At SEA, we believe it should also be felt: in light, materiality, temperature, scale, and in the relationship between inside and outside. Each project seeks a specific atmosphere, a distinct soul for each client, and that goal guides decisions from the initial idea to the final detail.

Hotel Projects

With over 8,000 m² built and our experience working with Accor, Europe's leading hotel chain, we have the expertise to develop any project in this sector. Our comprehensive work with Hotel Mercure Lugo and the Ibis chain gives us a broad and professional understanding of the entire process, from F&B hospitality to interior design and lighting.
