Sebastian specialises in designing contemporary private houses and reforming historic buildings.
Having trained at the University of Cambridge and Barcelona School of Architecture (ETSAB-UPC), he has practiced in Catalonia and the Balearics for the last 14 years, developing the studio to focus on sustainability and place-specific design. During this time, the self-sufficient house in a fig orchard has been awarded the Mallorca Architecture Prize for best house by the Balearic Chapter of Architects. Finalists included Pritzker prize winner Alvaro Siza and Juan Herreros.
His interest and understanding of sustainability began through living on a sailing boat, where periods of self-sufficiency require using the absolute minimum of means, and total adaptation to one’s surroundings and climate.
Having received the top award in his Masters he went on to read his doctoral thesis in architectural design at Barcelona School of Architecture, his professional work and academic research center around how architecture relates to its environment and context. He has written about and drawn his experiences of architecture and cities throughout the Mediterranean and has published articles and a book. He has been interviewed in the Spanish Press and on Channel 4 in the UK.
He currently teaches architecture and architectural history at La Salle school of Architecture Barcelona and at other design schools in Barcelona.
