Characterised by the purist and minimalist treatment of architectonic volumes, Campo Baeza’s architecture participates in the logic of the pure forms. It has evolved from the smoothness of the white stucco of his first residential works to rougher textures of exposed concrete or work stone of greater scale. The fundamental characteristic of its architecture is a constant investigation in the qualification of the space by means of the light.

His work has been extensively awarded, including the First Award for the Spanish Pavilion in the Biennale of Venice (2000), the Award of the Bienal de Miami (2000) and the COAM Award (2002) for the Blas House, the COAB Award (2003) for the Centre BIT in Majorca, the COAAO Award (2003) and Eduardo Torroja Award (2003) for the Headquarters of the Caja de Granada and the Award Architecture in Stone, for the Almeria Offices.
