Teresa Sapey + Partners

Based in Madrid since 1990, Teresa Sapey + Partners relies on an international multidisciplinary team with extensive experience working globally under the leitmotiv we design spaces with feelings. The studio is guided by Teresa Sapey herself and her daughter Francesca Heathcote. The in-house team comprises urban designers and planners, engineers, architects, interior designers and product designers. When needed, the studio teams up with carefully selected external consultants to ensure the delivery of projects of the highest quality. The studio’s identity is based on researching and designing collaboratively to deliver bespoke projects and unique experiences that want to meet and exceed the client’s vision and user requirements. Every project has its own identity and its own context, and consequently, every design is tailor-made. The team Sapey, similarly to a tailor, saws together colours, patterns, textures, materials and lighting to design new urban and architectural gowns and clothes, imbued with vitality and dynamic functionality. Finally, the attention to detail is key and essential to the success of each project, from the design of a bench or a pop-up installation all the way to the design of a house or a hotel. The studio is renowned for its versatile experience, which includes the design of bespoke residential, commercial and retail projects; the reactivation of disused urban spaces such as parking, bridges and tunnels; and the creation of engaging installations, temporary and permanent. Some of the key projects include Bruno Hotel for Room Mate in Rotterdam, NHOW in Marseille, the parking design for Plaza Pedro Zerolo in Madrid, the design of the ASPESI store in Madrid and the redevelopment of a high-end luxury apartment in west London.
