Jopa Studio is an international architecture and interior design firm with office in A Coruña, Spain and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
JOPA was founded in 2017 by Daniel Castro and Eduardo Peña. We landed in Malaysia working for such well-known companies as HL Design Group or Berjaya Group.
Today we are a team of architects and engineers divided between Spain and Kuala Kumpur who work with the main objective of building what we design or what is the same, controlling the work from start to finish to obtain the best results. People who are serious about design should build it.
Our office developed a strategic alliance to collaborate between Europe and Asia. This cooperation offers a network of offices in A Coruña (Spain) and Kuala Lumpur (Malaysia) both staffed with highly experienced professionals in architecture and process management. We have been working in projects in several different countries like Austria, Spain, Vietnam, Malaysia, Australia or Finland.
