CaSA - Colombo and Serboli Architecture

After purchasing an appartment in Barcelona i was looking for an arquitectural bureau which would match my taste level and at the same time cover the entire process from A to Z with their expertise. I came across AD's Top 100 Arquitects of the Spanish Edition and immediately fell in love with Colombo Serboli's take on interior design. I was amazed how fresh and at the same time modern their projects were. So I decided to contact them and realized from the first contact that it was the perfect choice. Their professionalism started from the first email to the first budget and site visit. I felt throughout the entire process that they are going to go the extra mile to get the best result in any part of the works. They are truly exceptional to lead holistically the design and refurbishment process and on top give you full visibility thru the entire time. Communication was exceptional during those months and I felt that Andrea and Matteo were truly dedicated to get a superb final result. Looking back normally you think that refurbishment periods can be quiet stressful with Matteo and Andrea it was just the opposite. We had a wonderful time and I enjoyed working with them very much. Thanks again for all the dedication and incredible final result. I would be thrilled in case our ways would cross again for a future project. Best, Urun

We recently purchased a flat in the historic heart of Barcelona as a pied-à-terre (we live most of the year in California). The apartment had great, modernist bones like beautiful hydraulic floors and art nouveau ceilings, but the layout was choppy and the kitchen and bathroom needed to be rebuilt from scratch. We were facing a potentially large renovation. One of the biggest challenges, though, would be finding a partner we could trust to lead the design and construction while we were overseas. When we discovered Colombo & Serboli on Instagram one day, we knew we had found our team. We loved their intelligent use of color and simple build-outs to economically create gorgeous, imaginative, timeless spaces. We could feel their passion for each project and saw that they were perfectionists, down to the impeccable worksites visible on their feed. These things gave us the confidence to trust them to oversee the entire project while we were back home in California. It was a delight to work with Matteo and Andrea! Consummate professionals and elegant in every sense, they worked efficiently and communicated well with us at every step. The end result speaks for itself! We feel so fortunate to have been able to renovate this flat with Colombo & Serboli and we hope to have an opportunity to work with them again in the future.

Hace dos años conocí a CaSA - Colombo and Serboli Architecture por sus proyectos anteriores y inmediatamente me enamoré de su estilo. En Febrero 2017, no tuve duda alguna en contratar este estudio para la reforma integral de mi apartamento en el barrio del Born, en Barcelona. Desde el principio las propuestas fueron perfectamente en linea con el brief que proporcioné, el seguimiento de la obra fue meticuloso y muy profesional. Tuvimos un problema de carácter estructural debido a obras anteriores (la finca es del siglo XIII) y CaSA supo solventarlo con una solución perfectamente integrada con el proyecto inicial. La selección de los materiales y de los acabados fue muy fácil, todas las propuestas coincidieron con mi gusto y mis exigencias, tanto estéticas como de presupuesto. No tuvimos problemas de timing y al final de la obra recibí también asesoramiento sobre la selección del mobiliario. Este proyecto fue una estupenda aventura y estoy totalmente satisfecha del resultado final. CaSA cuida de los detalles, trabaja eficazmente y mantiene una comunicación constante con el cliente: en cada momento me he sentido segura y bien asesorada, algo clave en un proyecto de reforma. Llevo meses viviendo en mi apartamento y agradezco todo el trabajo y la implicación de estos profesionales, si tuviera la oportunidad, empezaría otro proyecto con ellos ahora mismo!!

Llevamos años trabajando juntos y lo increíble es que en cada proyecto conseguís sorprenderme. Vuestros diseños destacan por una originalidad y aprovechamiento del espacio impecable. Siempre con un resultado final diferente, teniendo en cuenta el gusto y necesidades del cliente. Estudiáis hasta el mínimo detalle y os preocupáis día a día de la obra para que todo quede como lo habéis imaginado. Es un honor después de tantos años, seguir participando en vuestros proyectos como constructora principal.

Todo ha sido genial! Tanto la rapidez de la atención, como la valoración del proyecto y la entrega del plano de instalación eléctrica. Además siempre han estado ahí para aconsejar y guiarme.

Soy fotógrafo y realizo las fotos de los proyectos de CAsA, he de decir que siempre consiguen sorprenderme con cada proyecto, me encanta la forma en que Matteo y Andrea desarrollan conceptual y físicamente cada proyecto. Por otro lado Matteo y Andrea me han prestado el asesoramiento perfecto que necesitaba a la hora de decidirme en la compra de un piso a reformar en Barcelona, para ello me han acompañado en la solución de todos los problemas encontrados en el transcurso de la compraventa. Después de esta primera parte he confiado en su saber hacer y experiencia a la hora de pensar, desarrollar y desarrollar el proyecto de reforma del piso, he quedado contentísimo por como se han desarrollado todas las partes del proyecto y por el resultado final. Un 10 para Matteo y Andrea.

Hace un año contraté a CaSA-Colombo and Serboli Architecture para la reforma integral de mi apartamento en el barrio de Sant Antoni (Barcelona). De los tres estudios de arquitectura que barajé, decidí trabajar con ellos porque su propuesta era la que mejor priorizaba y plasmaba mis necesidades, gustos e incluso mi personalidad, sin perder por ello el sello atrevido y genuino que CaSA imprime en todos sus proyectos. Para mí era importante, no quería un apartamento "de revista"; bonito pero impersonal. A la reforma tuvimos que sumarle inevitablemente la restauración completa de vigas y suelo, ya que al ser una finca antigua (1890,) escondía problemas estructurales mayores. CaSA supo responder a estos problemas inesperados de manera rápida y profesional, e incluso integró con habilidad los hándicaps estructurales convirtiéndolos en elementos interesantes. Realmente es increíble como consiguieron transformar un piso ruinoso y con poco atractivo, en un precioso apartamento !!! La reforma se acabó en el tiempo pactado, respetando absolutamente los acabados, detalles y calidad de los materiales acordados. Valoro especialmente tres aspectos de su trabajo: - Concilian a la perfección estética y funcionalidad. - Hay una constante comunicación e información a cada paso de la obra (cosa que agradece un cliente exigente, preguntón y meticuloso como yo). - Al finalizar la obra, CaSA se implica en la búsqueda y elección del mobiliario hasta el último detalle. Dudo que en muchos años vuelva a embarcarme en una reforma de tal envergadura, pero si lo hiciese, sin duda volvería a hacerlo con ellos!.

The amazing tallent and creative services from CaSA, not only helped me to make my dream come truth, they made it look far much better, that I could imagine my self. The team help me to potentialise my ideas and bringer to a realistic level within my budged restrains, converting an office space into a brand new minimalist flat with a loft sprit in where maintain of luminosity has maintained dramatically through all rectangular space using the glass walls to device the space at the same time the maximised the space sensation. I will for sure ask them to help me build my second flat. as they work, fallow up and result are so amazingly good and affordable.

I had the chance to work with CaSA during their Tyche Apartment renovation project. I was lucky enough to personally see the project and I've been amazed by their fresh and innovative ideas. Once I came out I was really inspired by Tyche Apartment. Moreover they are very professional, well organized and of easy going. I definitely recommend their service.

We turned to CaSA looking for a property in Barcelona to spend our holidays and weekends. Trough research on the market they have found the perfect property: CaSA saw the great potential in this highly neglected and badly distributed apartment, and transformed it in the home we were dreaming of. Our brief was to have a smart and functional flat, with few furniture pieces, able to establish a dialogue with the Art Nouveau architecture of the building, but revisiting its language. Our idea of vacation meant to have very practical spaces, to get away and relax. A house in the heart of Barcelona that would allow better to live the essence of the Catalan capital. A space for friends and family where we can relax organizing a dinner or drinking vermouth, after a day at the beach or visiting museums. Our demands have been fully implemented and satisfied by using innovative and durable materials, amplifying the feeling of natural light, adding a fresh touch of color to a few basic details, perfectly respecting and enhancing the pre-existing elements. The refurbishment included a radical change of spaces: moving the entire sleeping area on to the inner patio of the block (with the creation of three double rooms, one en-suite), and making a bigger living area, more comfortable and fluid by unifying entrance, kitchen and living room. A new luminous place of relaxation facing to the two balconies on the street. The architects have the merit of being able to suggest new and efficient solutions in spite of our limited budget. It was a pleasure to be advised from them through all the stages of the project and we really appreciated their crafted vision to carry out the refurbishment detail by detail, checking characteristics and performances of each material, seeing the effect of light and the environment on them directly on site. To resume, we got much more then we expected, we enjoy our new home very much, and warmly recommend CaSA to anyone looking for a fresh-minded, easy to work with architect.

Back in 2012 we found an incredible apartment in Barcelona that, although it was in a terrible state and needed and urgent refurbishment, had a lot of possibilities with a great location, big space and lots of natural light. We started looking for someone that could make the renovation in order to convert the ruinous flat in a totally functional holiday apartment. The budget was quite thigh, and all the proposals we had with other companies barely offered to clean and paint the space in a non-creative way that did not convince us at all. It was at this point when we reached CaSA, knowing their more creative background and young and modern vision, and ask them for a proposal on the project. We were totally open to any idea for the renovation as long as they adjusted the three requirements we had: to stay in budget, four bedrooms and resistant materials with low maintenance. We were really surprised to see that in their proposal they were able not only to offer that but also a radical change of the apartment, including three bedrooms with private bathrooms, moving the kitchen to another part of the flat, opening the then closed terrace (and returning the building to its original state) and the use of modern materials such as the floor or the bathrooms. Due to the planning permissions needed in order to finish the project, that were requirements of the building, our project was finished a little later than we expected, but the waiting was totally worth it. In the whole process, Matteo and Andrea were extremely professional, being able to execute all their proposals with success and creativity, from the renovation to the furnitures and decoration. We are extremely happy with the result: now we have an extremely precious apartment that we couldn't even dream of, totally functional and modern-looking. It is no doubt for us that in any future projects we may have, they will be the ones in charge of it, and we totally recommend working with them. If you are looking for someone to give a creative approach to your project, whatever it might be, don't doubt in reaching them: CaSA will provide you innovative ideas that you won't expect, and the result is going to be astonishing. That might be result of the Italian touch!
