About Archtree

An award-winning studio, 15 years in the making.

We're an award-winning architecture, interior design, and landscape design studio that's been creating out-of-the-ordinary spaces for more than 15 years.

We design spaces that connect with people and places — shaping health and wellbeing and adding to their surroundings.

Philosophy
01 — Design ethos

No single solution.
Just the right one for you.

Architecture as self-discovery

Place. Space. Person. Journey.

Archtree founder Robert spent his childhood in Moscow, where he lived in one of many identical, prefabricated blocks — grey, rectangular, mass-produced. If he thought of it at all, he saw architecture as something distant. Not part of everyday life.

He planned to study law. But in his final year of school, a move brought technical drawing into his path — and something clicked. While others struggled, spatial reasoning came naturally to him. He enrolled in architecture instead.

Through extensive reading, Robert began to understand that there is no universal solution in contemporary architecture. Some people need stimulation — complexity in form and texture. Others seek calm, clarity, space. Environments, too, vary in what they demand and allow.

Years later, that insight has become Archtree Studio's philosophy. Before we draw, we research. We read. We listen to you. We gather precedents, interrogate ideas, and approach each project with curiosity. No standard models. No assumptions.

Many people don't realise how deeply the built environment shapes their happiness. It comes back to the psychology of perception. — Robertas Podjapolskis, Founder

As humans, we're drawn to historical architecture because of its layered complexity — distance that shifts your view, interplaying textures, materials catching the light. The best contemporary architecture understands this too.

We don't follow a fixed style. Instead, we begin with you — your habits, your needs, your interests. We explore how proportions, colours, textures, and light can exhilarate and invigorate. We study the site, the nature surrounding it. We consider how to elevate it, to add meaning.

In this way, the design process becomes a process of self-discovery — a journey of awareness of place, space, and person.

02 — Innovation

Sustainability
& innovation.

A foundation — not a feature

Two paths, one goal — spaces that breathe.

Our approach follows two complementary paths: we reincorporate traditional construction techniques, and we adopt cutting-edge systems using natural materials. Together, these strategies allow us to develop spaces that are low-emission or even carbon-negative.

We stay ahead of the curve, attending international expos to track innovation. For example, our air recovery systems ensure fresh, temperature-balanced air. Especially in humid coastal locations like Barcelona, this reduces mould and keeps buildings healthy.

From vision to reality

Seamless
& streamlined.

03 — Project management

We don't just design buildings — we understand how they're built. Beyond design, our expertise in construction and engineering systems is a key reason clients choose us.

We project manage the entire process — from concept and design to construction, installation, interiors and landscape — collaborating with specialists where needed.

As part of this, we're at the forefront of using BIM technology. This means you can explore a 3D model of your spaces before any construction begins. There's nothing like the confidence and excitement that come from seeing exactly how your layouts and flows will work. Plus, BIM allows us to give you precise costings and collaborate more efficiently with contractors, eliminating budget overruns and keeping your project on track.
