Originally from Barcelona, Alvar studied architecture in his hometown before settling in the USA 12 years ago. His multicultural training between Finland and Spain has shaped an unparalleled design vision. Specialising in hospitality, his meticulous approach and understanding of technology combine to bring captivating spaces to life. His style harmonises Scandinavian precision, Hispanic warmth and American innovation. As the leader of PhiBa Architecture, a firm he founded 3 years ago, Alvar distinguishes himself by listening to and inspiring his team, guiding their ideas towards the creation of impactful designs. Applying his learning from the hotel sector, his projects focus on the user experience, creating spaces that seek to captivate the senses. With clients in the United States, Europe and the Caribbean, Alvar is an expert in transforming unique visions and circumstances into unforgettable experiences.
The firm is made up of a team dedicated to creating unique experiences for everyone involved in the project. With offices in the United States, Spain and Colombia, they have extensive international experience, which is also their best tool for innovating and creating buildings with their own identity. They believe that the experience should not be the end goal, but the result of a great journey throughout the design process. Lovers of their work, they incorporate their passion into the project to excite their team, clients, builders and the guest. PhiBa's differentiator is undoubtedly its team. The way they work and design together, the way they innovate and the way they help the customer and the community defines them. Good design is simply the result of a good team, a good working philosophy and great opportunities.
