The Best Architects in Mallorca – Who to Call for New Builds and Renovations

OIB Architecture is a small, very hands-on team that has stood out on Mallorca in recent years with understated, intelligent houses. I once met them on a construction site near Alaró: hard hat, pocket coffee and a notebook full of sketches — no big fuss, just pragmatic solutions. What OIB does well: they think in usage scenarios. That means not just a pretty façade, but how a room feels in the morning light from the southeast, where guests hang their coats and how the kitchen actually works. Practical for clients: OIB offers services from design through handover, including work with local authorities and coordination of specialist engineers. They are neither cheap nor showy, but often create projects with clear lines and honest materials — lime plaster, cement floors, wooden windows, sensibly sized glazing. In conversations they emphasize sustainability without dogma: PV integration, good insulation and ventilation concepts, sometimes rainwater use. If you want an architect to guide you through the permitting phase, provide realistic cost estimates and keep everyday life in view, OIB is often a very reliable choice. Their projects suit plots with a connection to nature — quieter locations or villages in the island's interior.

HUF HAUS brings the German system-build approach to the island: lots of glass, timber frames and high energy performance. If you are looking for a light-filled, modular house that also focuses on efficiency, you should look at their concepts — particularly suitable for sloping sites with a view.

Viraje and Ubiko work closely together, combining architecture with industrial construction methods. Their 2D concrete blocks and prefabricated systems shorten construction times and minimize waste — helpful when schedules are tight or sustainability is to be achieved through minimal on-site work.
