Zooco Estudio / Founders

After winning the architectural competition of The Civic Cultural Centre in Soto de la Marina (Spain) in 2008, Miguel Crespo Picot, Javier Guzmán Benito and Sixto Martín Martínez founded Zooco Estudio.

Their vision of architecture and the flexibility to adapt to different projects have made them to understand their profession at time of social and economic crisis.

ZOOCO ESTUDIO uses fine materials and simple shapes to achieve a timeless and functional aesthetic. They always search for neutral spaces and projects that last over the years. With this objective, they combine the research into new materials and systems, with the knowledge of traditional processes.

Currently, they have offices in Madrid and Santander, Spain, where they develop projects both nationally and internationally. Their work during these ten years covers more than 50 projects published in national and international specialized media, some of which have been recognized in various awards such as the prestigious NAN Construction 2019, EuroShop Retail Design Award ’18 Shanghai, International Design Media Award 2018 Shenzhen or the recent Design Vanguard 2019, of the prestigious american magazine Architectural Record.
