Maximale Studio is an architecture and design studio based in Madrid, Spain, founded in 2022 by designers Pablo Delgado and Cristina Garau. The studio hopes to explore the true value of projects of different sizes and types through appropriate design strategies that reflect unique technical applications and aesthetic awareness.
Maximale defines an architecture that uses light and geometry to reach proportion, harmony and coherence. Their work focuses on social, cultural and environmental matters by fostering a continuous relationship between art, design and research.
Maximale was born in London, where they used to live and work as architects for other firms. Pablo worked mainly on high-end designer retail projects for brands such as Tiffany, Burberry and Alexander McQueen in different European countries. On the other hand, Cristina Garau used to work for renowned international architectural firms: BIG and Adjaye Associates, focusing on large-scale projects around the world.
Both visions came together after they were given the opportunity to work on a few commissions for private residential projects in Spain, their homeland. Afterwards, they decided it was time to start their very own practice to showcase their particular vision of architecture.
