Adoras Atelier Arquitectura

What Adoras Atelier Arquitectura does

Adoras Atelier Arquitectura (legal entity: Adoras Arquitectura SLP) is a Spanish professional architecture studio founded in 2015 in Alicante by Jesús Gallego, following his training at Goring&Stratja in Milan and under Pritzker laureate Christian de Portzamparc in Paris. The firm operates from two offices — Alicante (headquarters, Calle Periodista P. Arderius, 4) and Madrid (Calle O'Donnell, 3) — and delivers architectural design, landscape architecture, and urban planning services. Its core offering spans residential developments (both Build-to-Sell and Build-to-Rent), single-family residences, rehabilitation projects, and master planning, with integrated landscape design and ESG/sustainability consulting (Atelier ESG module, including BREEAM and Fitwel certification). Major project work includes Allonbay Village in Villajoyosa (multi-phase luxury residential complex with the first BREEAM Urbanism certificate in Spain), STAY (Build-to-Rent programme of ~1,400 homes with Kronos Homes across multiple Spanish cities), the 10-kilometre Eje Verde Norte corridor in Alcalá de Henares, and residential developments in Calpe, Alicante, and Barcelona.

The studio's technology stack is BIM-centric, using Revit, Vectorworks, and IFC/NWC common data formats across all project phases (Basic Project, Execution, Construction), with cross-discipline coordination of architecture, structures, and installations. A 3D visualisation capability supports project rendering and design iteration, and a partnership with SIKA extends the firm into 3D concrete printing for sculptural and architectural elements — most prominently deployed at Allonbay Village. The Vertedero 4.0 innovation cluster (Phase III, 2024) explores transformation of construction and industrial waste into feedstock for additive manufacturing. The firm employs a multidisciplinary team of approximately 30+ named professionals across architecture, BIM coordination, landscape, civil engineering, 3D visualisation, marketing, and finance.

The business model is professional-services project fees, negotiated individually with enterprise developer and investor clients. ADORAS generates no product or licensing revenue. Revenue is derived from architectural design fees structured as either a percentage of construction cost or fixed project fees. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting large institutional investors and real estate developer groups, with no intermediary or channel partner model. The firm has received public co-funding (FEDER, ICEX-Next, XPANDE Digital) supporting internationalisation and digital positioning, but has no disclosed external equity investment. Press coverage in national and international publications (El País, El Mundo, Architectural Digest, La Vanguardia, IFLA Europe) functions as a top-of-funnel credibility signal with developer clients.
