PMMT Arquitectura

What PMMT Arquitectura does

PMMT Arquitectura is a Barcelona-based specialist healthcare architecture consultancy founded in 2001, operating under the legal name Patricio Martínez Maximià Torruella Arquitectura, S.L. The firm exclusively focuses on the design, project development, and construction direction of hospitals, clinics, and health centres, and has designed more than 2,500,000 m² of healthcare infrastructure across three continents (Europe, Africa, and South America) over 25 years. Its core offering spans full architectural services — including architecture, technical architecture, site management, building engineering, 3D Functional Medical Planning, master planning, interior design, and accessibility consulting — delivered to both public administrations and private healthcare operators. PMMT differentiates through a proprietary R&D+i department with 10+ active research projects producing trademarked methodologies (Clear Code Architecture for universal accessibility, Friendly Materials for health-impact assessment of construction materials, Mathematics of Flows for circulation optimization) and a patented Parametric Hospital system (granted 2016 jointly with Makiber S.A. by the Spanish Ministry of Industry) that enables hospitals to be designed, built, and equipped in under one year. The firm further extended its product line with the I-COVID PMMT Hospital System during the COVID-19 pandemic, offering scalable, modular, rapidly-deployable hospital typologies for contingency scenarios.

PMMT's business model is professional services with project-based fees regulated in individual Collaboration Proposals (Contrato de Prestación de Servicios), with payment terms of up to 30 days from invoice date. Revenue derives from architecture and consultancy engagements tendered through both public procurement (national, regional, and municipal health agencies) and direct private commissions (hospital groups, clinic chains, assisted reproduction centres). The firm maintains two offices in Spain (Barcelona headquarters in the 22@ innovation district, and Madrid) and operates a project-driven go-to-market motion supplemented by thought leadership (publications, international awards such as FAD 2014, CSCAE 2017, UIA 2017, BIAU 2014), bilingual website content, and participation in sector events. Notable clients include Infraestructures de la Generalitat de Catalunya, Servei Català de Salut, Ministerio de la Salud de Ecuador, Agencia de Infraestructura en Salud y Equipamiento Médico de Bolivia, Vithas Barcelona, Clínica Creu Blanca, and Institut Marquès, with strategic collaboration partner Makiber S.A. for parametric construction delivery. The firm is privately held with no disclosed funding, no parent company, and no subsidiaries, suggesting founder/partnership ownership of a profitable, self-funded specialist consultancy.
