EXE ARQUITECTURA BARCELONA SLP

What EXE ARQUITECTURA BARCELONA SLP does

EXE ARQUITECTURA BARCELONA SLP is a Barcelona-based architecture firm (Sociedad Limitada Profesional) founded in 2004 by Elisabeth Sadurní, Marc Obradó, and Jaume Valor, with operational roots tracing back to 1994. Currently led by co-founders Sadurní and Obradó (CEO), the firm operates from Cabrils in Barcelona province with 7 employees. Following the 2008 Spanish real estate crisis, the firm was restructured and rebuilt around the surviving co-founders with support from Óscar Ibáñez and Raúl Benítez. The firm serves three primary client segments: public/social housing (notably IMHAB – Barcelona Municipal Housing Institute), educational institutions (GISA, Escoles FJE), and private residential/real estate developers across Catalonia.

The firm's technical approach is built around industrialized and modular construction, digital design (3D modeling), circular material selection, and Near Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standards. Marquee projects include Casernas J56 (56 residences plus kindergarten, 685.35 tonnes of timber, 1,318 tonnes of CO2 saved in collaboration with 011h and Vivas Arquitectos), Marroc (46-unit modular social housing for IMHAB with CompactHabit and Constructora Del Cardoner), and IES Vallvera (school delivered in under one year for GISA). The firm partners with engineering firms (Bernuz Fernández, ARC BCN, SJ12 Enginyers), sustainability consultancies (Aiguasol, Green Living Projects, Societat Organica), and modular construction specialists (CompactHabit, 011h, Prefabricats Pujol) to deliver integrated Design and Build solutions.

The business model is professional services on a project-based, custom-quoted pricing structure with multi-year contract cadences. The firm operates as both a B2B (developers, construction partners) and B2G (municipal and regional government) practice, distributing services through direct contact (website, phone, email), industry events (THE DISTRICT 2025, AECI Forum), and collaborative Design and Build partnerships. Geographic scope is regional, concentrated in Catalonia and Barcelona. No institutional investment, M&A, or external funding has been disclosed.
