What Mtres Studio does

Mtres Studio is a Madrid-based architectural firm founded in September 2010 as a generational renewal of Estudio Vicente Molina, the architectural practice established by Vicente Molina Moreno in 1982. The firm delivers full-service architectural design for residential (multi-family and single-family), commercial (restaurants, offices, retail), institutional (schools, community centers, churches, sports facilities), and public infrastructure projects across Spain, with selective international competition participation in Italy, the Netherlands, Finland, Norway, the Czech Republic, Israel, and the United States. Its core design workflow is built on Building Information Modeling using Autodesk Revit Architecture, supplemented by SketchUp Pro with the SU Podium 2.11 rendering plugin for photorealistic 3D visualization, AutoCAD for 2D drafting, Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator for project presentation, and laser cutting for physical models.

The studio is led by a three-architect family team: founder Vicente Molina Moreno (licensed since 1982, COAM #6171), his elder son Vicente Molina Domínguez (architect and architectural engineer, formerly at Richard Rogers Partnership), and younger son César V. Molina Domínguez (trained at Escuela Politécnica Superior San Pablo CEU with study abroad in Manhattan). Mtres Studio acquires work primarily through Spain's open architectural competition (concurso) process for public sector clients, supplemented by direct commissions from private developers and repeat engagements from clients such as Crepes & Waffles.

Revenue is generated from professional design fees on a project basis and from an in-person professional education program in Madrid covering BIM/Revit (BE-REVIT), SketchUp Pro, and project presentation workshops. Workshop pricing is not publicly disclosed and is provided on direct inquiry. The studio does not have external investment, subsidiaries, or distribution partnerships, and operates from a single headquarters at Calle Aguarón 23B, Bajo B, 28023 Madrid. Its 17+ first-prize competition wins (including at Bilbao's Garellano MasterPlan, Valdebebas public housing, and Toledo's Casa de la Juventud) and finalist status in the Jacques Rougerie Foundation's Mars colonization competition form the principal reputational assets supporting future concurso pipeline.

Broad incumbents

• Estudio Lamela: Madrid-based architectural practice with decades of experience in residential, public, and large-scale commercial projects across Spain and internationally. Comparable to Mtres Studio as a Spain-headquartered, competition-driven architectural firm, but with significantly larger scale and broader portfolio including high-rise and stadium work.
• Rafael de La-Hoz Arquitectos: Established Madrid architecture studio with strong track record in public competitions, civic buildings, and educational facilities across Spain. Comparable in competition-win approach and civic/public-sector client focus, though operating at a larger scale and broader international footprint.

Others

• Arquitectura Viva: Spanish architecture publication that has covered Mtres Studio's competition wins. Relevant as an earned-media channel and industry context comparator, illustrating the broader Spanish architectural competition ecosystem in which Mtres competes.
• Autodesk (Revit/BIM platform provider): Provider of the BIM (Revit) platform that is central to Mtres Studio's design methodology and workshop training business. Relevant as an enabling technology partner whose BIM mandates and certification programs directly shape the firm's competitive positioning in Spanish public procurement.

Direct peers

• RCR Arquitectes: Spanish (Catalan) architecture studio with strong competition pedigree and public-sector portfolio including sports, cultural, and civic buildings. Comparable to Mtres in competition-driven growth and small-team structure delivering high-design civic projects, though with broader international visibility.
• Carme Pinós Studio: Independent Spanish architectural practice led by a named principal, with a strong competition-win track record and civic/public-sector focus. Comparable to Mtres in principal-led boutique practice structure, public competition orientation, and emphasis on design quality in civic buildings.
• Aranguren & Gallegos Arquitectos: Madrid-based architecture practice with comparable size and a similar emphasis on public-sector competition wins, residential projects, and BIM/Revit-based methodology. Closely comparable in scale (similar employee range) and project mix (residential, civic, sports facilities in Spain).
• SelgasCano: Madrid-based small-to-mid architecture studio known for competition-driven, experimentally designed public and cultural buildings. Comparable to Mtres in size, Madrid base, public competition strategy, and use of contemporary design and visualization tools, though with a more international brand profile.
• B720 Arquitectos (Fermín Vázquez): Spanish architecture firm recognized for public infrastructure, sports facilities, and master planning work with competition-driven project acquisition. Comparable to Mtres in competition orientation and civic-building portfolio, but with broader international reach and larger team.
• Miralles Tagliabue (EMBT): Barcelona-based Spanish architecture studio with strong public-sector competition portfolio, including civic, cultural, and transit projects across Spain. Comparable to Mtres in competition-led growth strategy and BIM-integrated design practice, though with larger headcount and international recognition.
