About Us

WIDOARQUITECTOS, es una oficina de arquitectura y ciudad, conformada principalmente por jóvenes arquitectos. Somos una oficina altamente comprometida con las personas, entendiendo que nuestra profesión es un vínculo directo entre la ciudad y su sociedad. Trabajamos en todas las tipologías arquitectónicas: concursos, públicas, residenciales, culturales, oficinas, sociales y urbanas.

Creemos firmemente que la arquitectura no es un servicio de lujo sino una obra social, es la herramienta más poderosa de cambio, es un trabajo colectivo.

Our architecture is simplified to the basic and elementary, without design pretensions or unnecessary forms; we prefer to work together with people, not just for them. Our conviction lies in the deep reading of the elements that make up the architecture and the urban context. We faithfully direct our creative process with the philosophy of always doing more with less.

"We are fascinated by the fact that every design has a story behind it, we love to capture the unique moments that happen with people, where architecture is closer to human perception and the exchange of feelings and ideas."
