Carles Faus Arquitectura

What Carles Faus Arquitectura does

Carles Faus Arquitectura is a Spanish architectural practice operating under the legal entity FAUS BORRÀS, S.L., founded in 2017 and headquartered in Algemesí with a secondary office in Dénia. The firm specializes in custom residential architecture with a Mediterranean-inspired design language, delivering single-family homes, villas, and multi-unit residential developments for private high-net-worth clients. Its portfolio comprises 87 completed projects across six countries — Spain, Portugal, Saudi Arabia, the Dominican Republic, Argentina, and France — with project sizes ranging from 189 m² to 17,785 m², indicating capability spanning intimate private commissions through to larger residential developments.

The practice operates on a project-based, custom-commission model with no disclosed pricing tiers, retainer structures, or subscription revenue. Go-to-market is direct: clients engage the studio for bespoke design services anchored on the founder's personal aesthetic and the firm's portfolio of Mediterranean climate-responsive work. The team consists of five people, with founder Carles Faus Borràs serving as the design principal, making the practice fundamentally boutique and principal-led rather than scalable on a headcount basis. International growth has been supported by Spain's ICEX NEXT export-development program and a Generalitat Valenciana subsidy, both accessed in 2017, indicating an early strategic intent to internationalize rather than serve only the domestic market.
