CASA Sólo Arquitectos SLP, was crated by the architects Francesc Pernas, Bernat Gato & Roger Pernas in 2008. It is part of the holding CASA Consultors i Arquitectes SL, established as far as 1987. CASA Sólo follows up the path set up by CASA during the last 25 years, mainly in the field of health care building planning and design, both for private and public sector. The experience on these very complex building types, such as all kinds of hospitals and health centers, allows us to afford many other programs such as research, laboratories, high education, hotels, shopping centers, industrial, and so on.
Each project is approached both, with some innovation and research inputs to go further in problem solving, and with a very high degree of individualization and attention to the client. This is particularly important for the project success, from the early stages of feasibility studies, functional requirements, to the full scope of services.
Our projects have always been energy efficient. Sustainability is a new term, but was already born with Architecture, when it has always given correct answers to the History and the Environment (topography, climatic conditions, cultural roots and pre-existing conditions). Further, CASA Sólo masterizes solar energy applications and the intelligent use and management of water resources.
CASA Sólo, is ready to provide services in the global context of present networking situation. Our previous and current experience makes us also very strong in the field of retrofit, reuse, and renewal of existing facilities. A close working cooperation is established with local architects and technicians, besides the long-term existing alliances with engineering and structural consultants.
Our flexible organization enables us to undertake commissions of all kinds, including from mid-term master plans (7-10 years ahead) to integrated management of project design and construction. The scope of services can be as broad as demanded by the client needs, resulting in a complete product that extends from initial studies, programming, and sketch design, to bringing in operation either a new building, or a retrofit phase after the previous analyses of an existing facility.
New projects might be designed with BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology. This system allows to generate and manage building data along its whole life cycle. It is a great leap forward in architectural computer aids in order to improve building maintenance.
CASA Sólo is based in Barcelona, taking advantage of its all-over-the-world very well known design cluster, but it has also agents and representatives in several countries, according to its current internationalization policy.
