Satt Arquitectura

What Satt Arquitectura does

Satt Arquitectura (legal entity SATT TRIPLE BALANCE, S.L.) is a Madrid-based sustainable architecture and construction firm founded in 2002 by Iñaki Alonso and Álvaro Guerrero. It is the first B Corp certified architecture and construction company in Spain and operates across four service lines: COVIVIENDA (cohousing, coliving, and collaborative housing projects), OFICINAS (sustainable office and coworking design), CONSULTORÍA (sustainability, decarbonization, and certification advisory covering Passivhaus, CO2nulo, LEED, BREEAM, and WELL), and INVERSIÓN (development promotion through its Distrito Natural subsidiary, which raises collective investment for ecological housing). Over 20+ years the firm has delivered more than 50,000 m2 of built work including flagship projects such as the Greenpeace España headquarters (1,004 m2), Entrepatios-Las Carolinas (first ecological cohousing in Madrid, 17 homes, 3,313 m2), Cuatro Caminos II (first mass timber CLT coliving in Spain, 32 units), Coworking TRIPLE (first CO2nulo certified coworking), and Coliving Ibiza (43 units, 5,815 m2).

Technically, sAtt combines BIM and Lean Construction methodologies with Passivhaus energy standards and the ECÓMETRO ACV lifecycle assessment tool to achieve quantified sustainability outcomes, including 80% energy reduction versus conventional buildings, carbon sequestration through CLT timber structures, and CO2nulo certification on multiple projects. It also operates a proprietary "Open Book" (Libro Abierto) transparent contracting model where project costs and invoices are shared with clients. Its customer base spans housing cooperatives, ethical banks (Triodos, Fiare Banca Ética), environmental NGOs (Greenpeace España), coliving operators (Urban Campus), property developers (Batipart), and Spanish municipal and regional governments (Ayuntamiento de Madrid, Govern de les Illes Balears).

Commercially, sAtt generates revenue through professional services fees on architecture and construction projects, plus construction delivery under its integrated design-build model and consulting fees for sustainability advisory. Pricing is project-based with no public rate card; disclosed per-project budgets range from ~€135K (Vertis office renovation, 338.49 m2 at 400€/m2) to ~€510K (Triple coworking, 538 m2 at 948€/m2), with collective investment rounds through Distrito Natural reaching €1.5M and €1.322M for individual developments. The firm employs 11-50 staff and distributes primarily through direct enterprise sales, conference presence (COP26, Green Solutions Awards), and a thought-leadership blog, with no third-party channel or reseller relationships.
