Miguel Herraiz

Miguel Herraiz was born in Madrid in 1978. He graduated in Architecture from the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid (ETSAM) and holds a Master’s degree in Analysis, Theory and History of Architecture from the same institution, where he currently serves as an Associate Professor.

At Madhel, together with Daniel Bergman, he promotes an architecture closely connected to the city, with a particular interest in social and cooperative housing and neighbourhood-scale urbanism, focusing on the integration of buildings into their specific surroundings. Their work is shaped by ideas of the common good and the city as a collective endeavour. Aware of the environmental impact of construction, they consider sustainability a key concern from the earliest stages of the design process.

Specialists in collective housing, they have secured most of their commissions through public architectural competitions. Their built work has also received several awards, including the XVII BEAU 2025, the 2024 COAM First Prize, and a nomination for the 2023 European Union Prize for Contemporary Architecture – Mies van der Rohe Awards. Their work is primarily based in Madrid, although they also have completed projects or ongoing commissions in Barcelona, Palma de Mallorca and Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
