Carlos Puente Martínez
Architect · Madrid · Open to relocate
Based in Madrid, I am an architect with four years of professional experience across a wide range of project types, with particular focus on high-end residential work. My practice spans every phase of the process, from concept design to construction documentation, always guided by spatial quality and close attention to construction detail.
I studied architecture at the University of Zaragoza, graduating with the Extraordinary Prize for the best academic record, and later completed a Master’s in Architecture at the Polytechnic University of Madrid. In between, I spent an exchange year at the University of Antwerp. Across this path, I have become particularly interested in the context where architecture sets, drawn to projects that negotiate between existing conditions and new programme, at the scale of a room, a building, or a fragment of city.
