Nieto Sobejano Arquitectos is an architecture practice founded in 1984 by Fuensanta Nieto and Enrique Sobejano, both born in Madrid in 1957, with offices in Madrid and, since 2007, Berlin. The two studied at the Polytechnic University of Madrid and at Columbia University in New York, and both teach. Their work has been shown at the Venice Biennale and the Museum of Modern Art, and the practice has received the Aga Khan Award for Architecture (2010), the European Museum of the Year Award (2012) and the Alvar Aalto Medal (2015). Much of their work adds to historic buildings and sites.

The Arvo Pärt Centre at Laulasmaa in Estonia (2018), won in competition in 2014, stays below the canopy of a pine forest except for an observation tower, its glass walls joining an oak-panelled interior to the trees.
