Honesty, integrity and transparency. These principles form the foundation of everything they do at Arquitectura81. It’s an ethos that architect-director Inés Rodríguez fostered when she founded the company back in 2005. “It can be difficult to arrive in a foreign country and find someone reliable that you can trust,” she explains, “and finding not just one, but many can become a real challenge”.
This is why her firm has also created the ‘A81-360’ concept. It offers a 360-degree approach to projects, with a collection of comprehensive services dealing with every aspect of realizing the client’s dream home – from start to finish. Whether the customer has a clear idea of what they want, or need a little guidance to explore options, Arquitectura81 can help them first find the perfect plot to build on or property to renovate. A viability report ensures that the whole project is assessed, giving a full picture of the plan and avoiding unpleasant surprises. And from there they ensure every step is managed to fulfil, and go beyond, the client’s hopes and expectations.
Importantly, Mallorca-native Inés and her team have an intimate knowledge of the island, its laws, and regulations, together with connections to a network of totally trustworthy local professionals. From the beginning, they offer fully qualified expertise on everything from architectural planning to interior design. They work with the latest technologies, too, including 3D systems that integrate every phase and element into a single manageable model, eliminating errors and reducing costs. Combine this with the A81-360 concept, and you have a seamless system of project management and expert talent that produces the very finest results.
While an extensive portfolio of completed projects attests to Inés’s skills as an architect, she also thrives on problem-solving and the logistical side of projects. “I love to see how simple sketches or ideas become reality,” she explains “and also how much of that work can improve the client’s everyday life by analyzing their needs and offering solutions.” And what Inés has learnt from A81-360 is “what the client appreciates the most is having a team that looks out for their interests above all else.” The result is complete peace of mind, at every stage.
