Multidisciplinary architecture and urban planning studio with heritage asset management
OUA Group is a Barcelona-based architecture and urban planning firm with 20 years of ground experience across 3,500+ projects. The tech stack is heavily weighted toward design and simulation tools (AutoCAD, Revit, SketchUp, Lumion, GIS, HEC-RAS, SWMM, EPANET) — a traditional AEC foundation — while internal pain points and active projects signal a push toward operational digitalization: HR department automation, payroll internalization, and contract management centralization. Hiring is accelerating with a senior-heavy, design-led composition, suggesting both capability deepening and a potential capacity shift toward delivery.
Notable leadership hires: Architect Project Lead, Team Lead Architect, Lead Architect
