The office was founded by the architect Xabier Ramos (Durango, 1986) after graduating from the ETSA at the University of Navarra in 2011, to become part of the Navarre office Taller Básico de Arquitectura during the completion of his university education, lasting approximately two more years, having the opportunity to collaborate in projects of notoriety, such as universities or civic centres.
