Nadine graduated from the School of Architecture (ETSAB) at the Universidad Politecnica de Barcelona (UPC) with honours in 1999 and earned an Executive MBA at the London Business School in 2006. She speaks fluent English, Spanish, German and Catalan and is a member of the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) and the College of Architects of Catalunya (COAC).

While studying in Barcelona she worked for Carlos Ferrater, Albert Viaplana and Serra- Vives-Cartagena.  Nadine worked at Foster +Partners from September 2000 until January 2008. She was involved on two key projects within the first year, Albion Riverside, a luxury residential complex, and an innovative office building proposal for which she was made an Associate in 2002. Nadine also ran the design and construction of the Portia Winery project in Ribera del Duero which won an RIBA Award and was shortlisted for the RIBA Stirling Prize. Other projects were a residential tower in Kuala Lumpur as well as the Walter Benjamin Foundation in Portbou.

Since February 2008, Nadine leads projects for the Borgos Pieper studio in both Barcelona and London. Among them are the competition winning sports center in Cerdanyola, Residential Care facility on the Isle of Wight, the Parque Central of Valencia, a Condominium in Mexico, an office redevelopment in Berlin, the concept design for an hotel in Riyadh and in Los Angeles and the design and first stage construction of a resort in Ibiza. She is currently leading the hotel and urban regeneration of Plaza de la Magdalena in Seville, a nature conservation project in the Costa Brava and a destination Spa project in Catalunya as well as other projects overseas.

The team has experienced architects working in our London and Barcelona studios. It is international and multicultural and provides an important source of know-how and fresh ideas that support the design direction managed by the partners. We combine knowledge in design, technical problem solving, project management, BIM and physical modelling to devise wholly integrated design solutions.

This collaborative and open approach is a process we undertake with external consultants and stakeholders alike. Workshops are used to evaluate the progress and solutions adopted in the design as well as to share the creative work of the studio.
