arkibide Respectful with each building´s identity Markina - Xemein
After more than 20 years, Arkibide has set it's goal into a company focused on conscious Rehabilitation, with a taste for detail, things done well and customer service.
My vision about Architecture, is to take advantage of the essence of each building, maintaining its similarities and personality, with a marked focus on sustainability and energy saving, quality and comfort, guaranteeing the environmental protection.
Thus , we develop the projects in their entirety, from the first sketches and ideas, to the completion of the work.
Joseba Andoni Omaetxebarria,
Senior Architect
Master in Construction Engineering
Born in Markina-Xemein in 1973, he is a Registered Architect (UPV, Donostia-San Sebastian) and Master in Construction Engineering (UPV, Bilbao School of Engineers).
Since he began his stage at Arkibide in 2008, he has developed his work focused on the world of renovation and accessibility of buildings, understanding architecture as a sustainable system, which reflects a balance between the tradition and culture of the area and the technological advances that improve people's quality of life.
Meticulous, perfectionist and lover of exhaustive monitoring of the construction process on site, Andoni pursues light and wide spaces, wherever he goes, and he does not like the phrase "that cannot be done", because it will awaken his strongest fighting spirit , and WILL MAKE IT POSSIBLE.
Close to the people around him, he believes that his is a job that must be developed with a vocation to serve the community.
In 2016 and until March 2020, he moved to the city of Vancouver (Canada) , where he has worked in the world of architecture, engineering and construction, studying intensively the construction typology of the Canadian house.
Back in Markina, he has developed Arkibide, including construction as a part of the complete process.
