that improve people's lives.
Honest, precise architecture
deeply connected to its surroundings.“Architecture is who we are.
JULI VILA
The work becomes landscape,
anonymous, like a silent echo.”
We listen to understand. We design with precision. We build in context. An architecture studio with more than five decades of experience and two generations looking to the future without losing their essence.
VILA Arquitectes is an architecture studio founded in Valencia in the early 1970s, with over fifty years of experience and two generations of architects committed to honest, precise architecture deeply connected to its surroundings.
We understand the needs of each person to design spaces tailored to them.
We approach each project in relation to its surroundings, seeking the ideal scale.
We investigate volumes, light and materials to give meaning to the project.
We coordinate engineers, collaborators and builders towards a common goal.
The studio was founded by Julio Vila Liante in Valencia in 1973. In 2005 and 2006, his children Juli and Blanca joined, respectively, bringing international training and a contemporary perspective to decades of construction experience. In 2024, Juli refounded the studio after a five-year period in the construction sector—expanding his vision of the path from project to finished work.
We listen, understand and design with purpose. We search for the right proportion and the ideal scale in relation to the environment, investigating and imagining spaces and volumes.
Julio Vila Liante (Architect, founder), Juli Vila Cortell (Architect) and Blanca Vila Cortell (Architect). A family team combining construction experience with a contemporary perspective.
Every project has a story behind it. A client, a site with its conditions and design decisions. The photographs show the result; what you do not see is the entire process behind it

She graduated from the Valencia School of Architecture (ETSAV), part of the Polytechnic University of Valencia, in 2006. During her studies, she participated in a one-year academic exchange program in Puebla, Mexico—an experience that broadened her perspective on architecture and marked the beginning of a close connection with the country. She later earned a Master’s degree in Landscape Architecture from the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. She currently balances her role as director of the School of Architecture and Design at Anáhuac University in Puebla (Mexico) with her work at VILA Arquitectes. Distance has never been a barrier to the firm’s work: new technologies enable continuous collaboration between Mexico and Valencia. Her international experience, combined with a career spanning professional practice, landscape architecture, and teaching, provides a broad perspective that enriches every project the firm undertakes.

He completed his architecture degree at the Polytechnic University of Valencia (ETSAV) in 2005, after spending a year studying in Paris and subsequently earning a master’s degree in structural engineering. He was a professor of interior design from 2012 to 2018. In 2024, he refounded VILA Architects after five years working in the construction company that he co-founded in 2019 — an experience that has intentionally taken him away from the drawing table to position himself alongside those who build. Stepping out of his comfort zone has given him a complete understanding of the process: from the first line of the project to the final decision on the job. Now he brings all that knowledge to the studio. Leer más Leer menos
He began his architecture studies in Barcelona, where he was a student of José Antonio Coderch, and completed them in Valencia, where he was part of the first class of architects at the School of Architecture of the Polytechnic University of Valencia. He opened his studio in Valencia in 1973 and in the 80s he worked as a municipal architect (Carlet and L'Alcúdia). The formal purity of Giuseppe Terragni, its reference architect, permeates the way of understanding space and geometry that he has transmitted to the studio. He has dedicated more than fifty years to building rigorous and honest architecture, rooted in the urban context, which is now the DNA (the essence) of Vila Arquitectes. A few years ago, he took a step back to allow the studio to continue its trajectory, confident that his way of understanding a job well done endures in everything we do. Leer más Leer menos
