Ferran Massip is Design Director and partner at OYO Architects since 2013—licensed professional in both Spain and the United Kingdom. Driven by a genuine belief in the power of architecture to influence our daily lives, Ferran has explored from both theoretical and practical perspectives. His background has included research and teaching roles at KULeuven University, as well as hands-on involvement in numerous OYO projects, ranging from interior design to master plans for residential and commercial buildings. He believes that architects have a deep responsibility to create resilient, long-term solutions that improve life: cities, buildings and landscapes that are made to last beyond our generation. For Ferran, the heart of every OYO project lies in creating spaces that are not only environmentally conscious but also deeply considerate of the human experience. It is about creating environments that positively impact the people who live in them.
