PEÑIN ARQUITECTOS SLP

What PEÑIN ARQUITECTOS SLP does

Peínín Arquitectos SLP is a privately held, family-owned Spanish architecture and urbanism firm founded circa 1974 by Alberto Peínín Ibáñez and registered as a Sociedad Limitada Profesional (No. 9028) with the Colegio Oficial de Arquitectos de la Comunidad Valenciana. The firm operates from three offices in Valencia (headquarters), Gandía, and Barcelona, with a current headcount of approximately 12, comprising founding partner Alberto Peínín Ibáñez, his three architect-children (Alberto, Pablo, and Blanca Peínín Llobell), architecture lead Marta Gómez, and additional architects. Its service portfolio spans residential architecture (single-family, social housing, multi-family), public/institutional facilities (schools, lecture halls, libraries, healthcare, senior residences), restoration and refurbishment of heritage buildings, interior design, and urban planning including master plans, public space, and territory projects, complemented by energy performance certificates and HQE sustainability studies.

The firm acquires work primarily through architectural competitions for public sector clients (municipalities, government agencies, universities) and through direct commissions and developer relationships for private-sector work. Pricing is quote-based on individual project scope and not publicly disclosed; revenue is project-based professional services income. Notable international projects include the Lyon Bar Association headquarters, the ZAC Andromède and ZAC Monges housing developments in Toulouse, the Boulogne office building, and the Lycée Français de Barcelona rehabilitation, executed in collaboration with Carlos Ferrater's OAB since 1999. The firm also operates two ancillary lines — ETC, a coworking and model-making workshop in Valencia's Ruzafa district, and ARTALLAT, a recycled-material tourist souvenir product — both minor in scale relative to the core practice.

Peínín Arquitectos has accumulated an awards record including the 1973 COACV Architecture Prize, Mies van der Rohe finalist status (2015), FAD selections (2017, 2019), XI Bienal BEAU selections (2011), and inclusion in the YAS exhibition at Instituto Cervantes (2012). The firm competes in public tendering processes across Spain and France and serves repeat clients including the Ayuntamiento de Gandía, Ayuntamiento de Valencia, Universitat Politècnica de València, IMSERSO, and developers such as Nous Espais, Patrimoine SA Languedocienne, and Greencity Ibèrica. Revenue is not publicly disclosed; based on headcount and project profile, the firm operates at a small professional-services scale characteristic of a boutique multi-generational architectural practice.
