Architects in Torre en Conill
Single-family houses designed with precision and a careful reading of the site, in one of the most consolidated low-density urbanisations on the outskirts of Valencia. We support every project from the first conversation to the handover.
A studio to design your home in Torre en Conill
Rubén Muedra Arquitectura is a studio founded in 2010, headquartered in Valencia, with operational presence in Madrid, Ibiza and the Costa Blanca. We work in residential and corporate architecture, and in interior design, from one shared criterion: each project results from listening closely to the client and to the place.
In Torre en Conill that approach takes on a specific meaning. The urbanisation sets particular conditions —generous plots, considered orientations, its own regulations, an already established neighbourhood— that require a precise project from the first line. We do not propose ready-made imagery: we build a response for each plot.
"Responsible, creative, free and honest architecture."
Torre en Conill: reading the place before designing
Torre en Conill lies within the municipality of Bétera, about twelve kilometres from Valencia, around the Escorpión Golf Club and at the foothills of the Sierra Calderona. It is a low-density urbanisation with private security, mature vegetation and a settled layout: a residential environment in which architectural quality matters more than novelty.
Designing here means understanding that balance. The plots allow for openness, but they also call for a careful relationship between the house, the garden, the constant Mediterranean light and the nearby horizon of the Calderona. Good architecture in Torre en Conill does not compete with its surroundings: it accompanies them.
What an architect looks at on a plot in Torre en Conill
Orientation and light
Make the most of the steady south-north light without losing the visual openness to the west and the mountains. Cross-shading that protects in summer without darkening winter.
Topography and slope
Many plots have gentle slopes. Resolving them without aggressive earthworks allows the ground floor to integrate naturally with the garden.
Privacy and neighbours
Privacy is achieved through siting, not walls. We work on setbacks, inner courtyards and vegetal filters before closing volumes.
Urbanisation regulations
We know the local ordinance and the particularities of the management entity. We coordinate from the start to avoid delays in permits or on site.
How we approach a residential project
Every house goes through five well-defined phases. The initial listening sets the direction; the final materiality answers that first conversation. Between both ends: precision.
Listen
Interpret the client. Distinguish the apparent from the essential: how they live, how they inhabit, what truly matters.
Read the context
Plot, orientation, topography, surroundings. Architecture begins before the first line: in the knowledge of the place.
Design
Turn information into a clear architectural direction. A single idea holds each project, and everything else derives from it.
Refine
Materiality, technique, coordination, detail. What is drawn well is built well. Time saved here is quality gained later.
Build
Site supervision through to the finished result. Construction management, quality control and an orderly handover.

Ten ideas that hold every project together
The studio recognises itself in ten principles that organise the work from the first meeting to the final site visit. They are not labels: they are criterion.
References and recognitions
The studio has been recognised among Spain's most relevant architecture practices by leading international sector publications. These recognitions are not an end in themselves: they are the consequence of a sustained method and a commitment to each project.

Frequently asked questions
How long does a house project in Torre en Conill take?
From the first commission to handover, it usually takes between 18 and 30 months, depending on size and complexity. Project and permits take 8 to 12 months; construction, 14 to 20.
Do you also provide site supervision, or only the project?
Yes. We accompany the construction until the end, with full site supervision and safety coordination where applicable. A project's quality is decided both on paper and on site.
Do you know the regulations and the management entity of Torre en Conill?
Yes. We work in the area on a regular basis and we know the urbanisation's particularities: Bétera's municipal ordinance, setbacks, heights, plot occupation and the procedure before the management entity.
Do you design Passivhaus or high-efficiency homes?
Yes. We have certified experience in Passivhaus projects —both residential and corporate— and we can develop your project under that standard or as a near-zero-energy building (nZEB).
How are your fees calculated?
Fees are adjusted to the scope: basic project, construction project, site supervision, interior design. We define it in writing in the first phase, with no later surprises.
Do you accept full refurbishments or only new builds?
Both. A full refurbishment in Torre en Conill demands the same precision as new construction: a careful study of the existing condition, a structural review and a proposal coherent with the original language when it is worth keeping.
