What archikubik slp does

Archikubik SLP is a Barcelona-headquartered architecture and urbanism firm providing architectural design, urban planning, and urban landscape services, founded in 1994 by Marc Chalamanch, Miquel Lacasta, Carmen Santana (and Marta Borbonet until 2000), with Christophe Marret joining as a partner in 2025 following Lacasta's departure. The firm delivers services across France and Spain, focusing on sustainable urban regeneration, productive urban landscapes integrating professionalized agriculture, circular economy construction with selective deconstruction revaluing over 90% of materials, and participatory design via an "exploratory interviews" methodology developed with sociologists. Its project portfolio spans flagship urban renewal (Agrociudad Gagarine Truillot — 12-hectare ZAC in Ivry-sur-Seine with 42,000 m² public space, 94,000 m² housing, 2.5 ha urban agriculture), heritage rehabilitation (Depósito del Rei Martí — Venice Biennale 2016 Gold Lion), mixed-use developments (Korowai in Montpellier, Scène des Loges in Paris via Réinventer Paris 3), and individual buildings (B13 office, B16 activity hotel).

The firm operates a professional services revenue model, earning project-based design fees and urban planning consultancy commissions. Its go-to-market combines direct commissions from public urban development agencies (Grand Paris Aménagement, Ajuntament de Barcelona, Montpellier Méditerranée Métropole) and private developers (ICADE, Crédit Agricole Immobilier, Bouygues Immobilier, Groupe Capelli, Terres du Soleil Promotion, Les Nouveaux Constructeurs), competition-based project acquisition (Réinventer Paris 3 winner), and event-driven relationship building through sustained MIPIM Cannes participation since 2004, European Building Summit, REBUILD, Architect@Work, and academic forums. Customers are segmented into Public Urban Development Agencies (primary), Private Real Estate Developers (primary), Housing Authorities, and International Development Organizations, with a horizontal segmentation approach.

Internally, Archikubik operates as a flat partnership with founder-ownership concentrated among co-founders, no external parent or institutional investors disclosed, no subsidiaries, and no funding rounds. Its value proposition rests on proprietary methodology (exploratory interviews), a "1/heart scale" systemic approach treating living elements as infrastructure, and a track record of award recognition that serves as primary marketing currency. Marketing channels prioritize thought leadership — multilingual web presence in French, English, Spanish, and Catalan — alongside architecture media (Urban Next Lexicon, Le Moniteur, ArchDaily), academic presentations (UPV/EHU, AgroParisTech), and exhibitions (Venice Biennale, Pavillon de l'Arsenal, Palau Robert Barcelona).
