Jacobo Higuera, HCP’s Director of Operations, “has architecture and business in his blood.” In an interview with Design Marbella, Jacobo shares his passion and vision for innovation, digitalization, and, above all, the importance of people in the architecture industry.
In the interview, Jacobo reveals how his early experience in various departments at HCP allowed him to better understand how the firm operates. This comprehensive experience has been key to his professional development and to the success of HCP, which has been recognized as one of the 100 most important architecture firms in the world. According to Jacobo, this achievement would not be possible without hiring and training young talent, as well as leveraging the knowledge and skills of senior staff. All of this is done while upholding HCP’s founding values: a job well done, commitment to clients, and rigor.
Jacobo also highlights HCP’s expansion into Arab countries, citing flagship projects such as Al Salam Hospital in Saudi Arabia and The Terminal and Juffair Square in Bahrain. These initiatives not only demonstrate HCP’s ability to manage international projects but also its commitment to quality and innovation across diverse cultural and geographic contexts.
Furthermore, Jacobo identifies the Costa del Sol as one of the most interesting markets nationally, with high growth potential. This potential stems from the diversification of its appeal and the growing attraction of technology companies. Among the standout projects in this region are the Nereidas Residential Complex and the Angsana Real Hotel in La Quinta, which reflect HCP’s ability to adapt and lead in dynamic markets.
In conclusion, the interview with Jacobo Higuera offers an in-depth look at how HCP combines tradition and innovation to remain at the forefront of the architecture industry. With a focus on human talent and strategic expansion, HCP continues to establish itself as a global leader in the sector.
