About SelgasCano
SelgasCano is the Madrid practice founded by José Selgas and Lucía Cano, famous for its use of colour, synthetic materials and the relationship between architecture and landscape. Its work includes auditoriums, offices and pavilions, such as the El Batel Auditorium in Cartagena, the Second Home offices in London and Lisbon, and the 2015 Serpentine Pavilion in London.
Before signing, agree in writing on the scope of each phase, the deliverables, the fees and the timescales, and ask who coordinates structure, services and site supervision. A clear initial definition avoids costly changes once the project is under way.
Finally, confirm which procedures the practice will handle, what documentation it delivers at the end of each phase and how monitoring will work during construction. A well-documented commission protects the client and lets the project advance without interruption.
