[ hello! ]
I am Unai! I am a Basque emigré, architect, urban planner, designer, gardening aficionado and a New York City resident.
Born and raised in the Basque Country, I moved to Barcelona and attended the Escola Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona. I graduated as Architect and Urban Planner and in 2011 I moved to the US pursuing a career with a focus on international projects.
After almost a decade leading an acclaimed architecture firm in NYC I co-founded bloq studio in 2020; an architecture and design studio based in Brooklyn.
I am currently involved in the organization of the New York City Architecture Biennial and I collaborate with Amplified Voices Productions, an emerging photography and film production company with a focus in the empowerment of the BIPOC and LGBTQ+ communities in the US.
