YVAILLO STUDIO
YAGO VAILLO
Architecture - Art - Design - Fashion

Architect and creative artist, fervent advocate of professional theory/practice hybridisation, he combines the practice of Architecture and Design with Art and Teaching, together with the promotion of activities, companies and institutions linked to Creativity, Innovation and Cultural Management and Dissemination.
After working at SAS Arquitectos (Pamplona), Castanon Associates (London) and Idom Consulting Engineering (Madrid), he subsequently set up his own interdisciplinary creative studio. He currently runs VAILLO+IRIGARAY ARCHITECTS together with Antonio Vaillo and Juan Luis Irigaray, an architectural studio dedicated to architectural design in different fields, covering different scales - from urban design to interior design or the design of micro-architectures. The company develops its international aspect in association with different architectural studios in Swizertland, Qatar, Israel, France and Mexico.
From YVAILLO STUDIO & VAILLO+IRIGARAY ARCHITECTS he has developed numerous projects with experience in architecture of different scales and diverse themes: religious, research, teaching, hospital, sports, commercial, industrial, residential and interior design, both for private clients and public institutions.
His work has won numerous awards in exhibitions and national and international competitions for both its formal and constructive quality. His work is regularly published in the most important national and international media.
