Teresa Sapey and Francesca Heathcotearchitects Sapey + Partners studio will kick off a new session of the loop Women Architects this December. The event, organized by the Alicante Regional College of Architects, is open to the public and begins on Tuesday at 19:00. A small, thoughtfully designed workshop will run alongside, inviting participants to explore color and creativity as the foundational language for every project the studio envisions. The emphasis is on how color, light, and craft inform architectural decisions from the very first sketches to the final build.
Sapey + Partners designs spaces that feel emotional. The studio explains that its work grows from ongoing collaboration with city planners, designers, engineers, and other architects. Each project is developed with a clearly defined heart, identity, and contextual understanding, ensuring the space resonates with those who inhabit it and with the urban fabric around it.
Founded in 1990 by Teresa Sapey, the Madrid-based studio operates as a multidisciplinary team with a global footprint. Teressa Sapey + Partners brings together professionals from various disciplines who share a commitment to crafting environments that stir emotion and engage people on a sensory level. The team draws on a wide range of expertise to deliver projects that feel both intentional and alive, wherever they happen in the world.
The internal team spans urbanists and planners, engineers, architects, interior designers, and product designers. When necessary, the studio collaborates with carefully selected external consultants to ensure every project meets the highest standards of quality and performance. This approach keeps the process flexible while maintaining a strong core vision for each commission.
For Sapey + Partners, research and collaboration are central to delivering bespoke projects and memorable experiences. The studio aims to meet and exceed client aspirations while honoring user needs. Each project develops its own identity and context, translating into a design that feels personal and purpose-built for its place and inhabitants. The outcome is a unique narrative for every site, not a one-size-fits-all solution.
In practice, Sapey’s team designs urban and architectural ensembles with the same care a tailor gives to a dress. They blend color palettes, patterns, textures, materials, and lighting to create spaces that are lively, functional, and comfortable. The emphasis on vitality and practical usefulness guides decisions at every step, from a bank lobby or a pop-up installation to a residential, hospitality, or public project. Attention to detail remains a core driver of success, ensuring that every element reinforces the overall experience and meets high standards of quality and sustainability.
