ABOUT
Hola!
I’m Esther, the person behind ERA architects.
I’m an English speaking architect born and raised in Barcelona and an official passive house designer.
Since I was 2 years old, I’ve been enjoying nature actively through sports.
My dad was a skiing instructor, so I spent my winters skiing and summers trekking or mountain biking.
When I was 16, I spent a school year in Canada where I was amazed by the kind people and the vast natural landscape.
After university I worked and traveled abroad delivering ambitious projects for awarded global firms in places like Toulouse, Rotterdam, Seoul, Nanjing (China), Keelung (Taiwan) and Barcelona (Nou Camp Nou for Football club Barcelona).
The 2008 economic crisis brought me back to study and to deliver projects that more directly met the needs of families and the planet.
Today, as an English speaking architect in Barcelona, I’ve developed a method to understand the essential needs of our clients to DELIVER integrated, turnkey, unique, sustainable Positivie Homes with a teams of local professionals.
In 2022 we achieved a certificate for completing the first Passive House Plus detached using the ytong system of Southern Europe.
In 2024, we’re building 3 Passive houses with wood systems for expat clients. Two of them are being certified.
I’ll let our clients speak so you can judge yourself (check happy clients here).
Happy to talk to you to start delivering your dream green home.
Let’s talk!
