CIERTO ESTUDIO is an architecture studio founded in 2014 by six young architects: Marta Benedicto, Ivet Gasol, Carlota de Gispert, Anna Llonch, Lucia Millet and Clara Vidal. Since then the team has grown and solidified its professional practice with the incorporation of Jesús Fajer, Mariana Gomes and Adrián Maldonado. Having been born from plurality, its thinking is inevitably diverse and is reflected in its collaborative work methodology that seeks the maximum architectural claim and its own character. His fascination with the field of collective housing stands out, with innovative designs designed to adapt to different lifestyles.
In this field, the studio won its first prize in 2017 for 'Illa Glòries' in Barcelona: a master plan for a multi-use urban block and the development of one of the four collective housing units that make up the block. Their 'Kitch-room' project also won first prize to develop a building of 68 homes with public facilities on the ground floor, whose housing typology claims the central position of the kitchen in the house. Finally, its recent award to lead the New Green Axes Model of the 'Superilla Barcelona' urban plan, led the studio to lay the foundations for the sustainable transformation of the Eixample layout in the next decade. Within this plan, the studio is also responsible for the design of Consell de Cent street, the main axis. These three public projects are currently under construction, as well as the desire of Certain Studio to show its practice outside the limits of its beloved hometown, Barcelona.
