ZEST Architecture: Your Architect in Barcelona

We were delighted to work with Co Govers and Maria Matamala in all phases of the project, from planning to the final execution. Being based in Scandinavia much of the communication was done long distance with English as the working language. The professionalism and level of (friendly) service of ZEST architecture was and is exceptional. On our behalf they dealt with all parties involved in realizing the project, which included many bespoke and complex solutions. We have warmly recommended ZEST architecture to our friends and would not hesitate to do so to others.

Co Govers and her team really listen to your needs and wishes, and are full of ideas for spatial solutions and materials that really made our house special. They combined practicality with truly noble materials and delivered clever solutions throughout the house that are perfectly finished. The works were supervised with great care and the project was delivered on time, leaving us with a really content feeling about the project. And all of us really love our new home!

From the moment we first spoke I knew ZEST were the architects for us. Co was amazing, she just understood us so well, and then converted our vague ideas into an amazing project. The team at ZEST is very professional and knowledgeable, and they managed to overcome all the hurdles that the council put in our way.

Building turned out to be much more fun than we had imagined. Working with the team at ZEST was a pleasure every step of the way. From defining how we would generate our power to the workflow in our kitchen, everything seemed to be logical and stress free. And I am so proud when people walk into my home; they are always incredibly impressed.

We were very happy to have ZEST design our house in Alella. Co and her team are very professional and dedicated. They understood our requirements and gave us their professional advice. From the architectural work to the entire interior design of the house and supervision of the construction, Co and her team provided us with top service. We are very satisfied!

Co and her team are an absolute pleasure to work with. From the outset, we felt in very capable hands, despite being on the other side of the world to the ZEST offices and the project site. They are attentive, professional, patient and very talented. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

We were delighted to be working with Co Govers and her team at ZEST architecture on the redevelopment of our estate in Barcelona Province. From the start we were impressed by the team's vision, knowledge, responsiveness and attention to detail. I would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending ZEST architecture.

Creating the house of our imagination on a Spanish mountain was never going to be easy. Off-grid and remote, in an area of incredible beauty, at time nature herself seemed to conspire against us, not to mention the planners and builders. Co guided us through the many obstacles, and turned a once abondoned shell into a home, combining the latest in up-to-date living with a sense of history and place and the indefinable style of a master of her craft.

In a village on the Costa Brava our apartment with sea view was in need of a thorough renovation. In order to carry out these drastic works, we chose Zest Architecture. From Belgium we could follow the evolution of the renovation. A fine collaboration with Co and her team resulted in a great result and this within the set term. Highly recommended !!!

Co and the team at Zest are exceptional. Importantly for me they spent time getting to know us, in order to understand our requirements. As a result they have designed an exceptionally beautiful home for my husband and I located in The Gavarres. They have held our hand every step of the way, and have filled us with confidence. I know our finished home will be everything we've dreamed of.
