Process - garrido.studio

We are architects, designers, innovators, technicians and landscape architects who collaborate closely to create disruptive projects.

Collaboration is at the core of our practice. We adopt an interdisciplinary and horizontal approach, where dialogue and interaction of ideas enrich all phases of design. This allows us to approach each project from multiple perspectives, ensuring that our solutions are creative and functional.

Our multidisciplinary team, composed of professionals of diverse nationalities and backgrounds, enriches our architectural practice with a broad and diverse vision.

This variety of skills and perspectives allows the disciplines to work in an integrated manner, generating a creative force greater than the sum of its individual parts. Through human talent, we capture the emotions and sensibilities of each project, creating atmospheres, ideas, forms and identities that project realities that transcend the tangible.

The creative process is based on technological innovation and continuous learning of human talent, as well as collaborative work.

These elements are enriched by the synergy we achieve between our different areas of work, allowing us to approach each project in a comprehensive and disruptive way. Our goal is to discover innovative solutions that respect the existing context, integrating harmoniously without generating dissonance. This requires significant changes in the project approach, such as the use of new technologies, advanced materials and design styles that respect the cultural, historical and physical character of the environment.

Projects must not only be aesthetically appealing, but also functional and sustainable. We use efficient materials and solutions to create spaces that respect the environment.

In each project, we challenge ourselves to deliver iconic and disruptive designs that fully meet our clients' expectations and desires. We seek to merge humanistic approaches with the highest technology, achieving high-end results.
Our team strives daily to experiment, research and improve on each project. We believe in the importance of innovating responsibly, constructing useful and sustainable buildings and spaces for the future. To do this, we thoroughly understand the cultural, human, ethnographic, functional, legal, operational and technical context of each project.

We cover a wide range of scales ‘from housing to mixed-use buildings and urban planning’, with larger projects often being the focus of attention.

Our approach is rigorous and creative, applying the same level of innovation and attention to the particular needs of each context.

We work in a wide variety of typologies, with a special focus on hotels, resorts, residential buildings and offices.

We specialise in creating unique and functional experiences, integrating spaces with their natural surroundings and improving the quality of life of their inhabitants through sustainable solutions that promote wellbeing.
Regardless of the scale or type of project, our goal is to design architecture that responds to contemporary needs, enhancing the spaces where people live, work and play.

We combine the exploration of traditional methods with the use of state-of-the-art digitalcutting-edge digital technology.

We believe that this complementary relationship between analogue and digital drives our creative process, allowing us to offer innovative solutions without sacrificing the authenticity of manual processes. Models allow us to experiment with shapes, volumes and proportions in a tangible way, facilitating the spatial and material understanding of the project. Through manual modelling, we explore how architectural elements interact, fostering a space for reflection and adjustment where the team can discuss and refine every detail. Hand drawing remains a key tool in our methodology, allowing ideas to flow nimbly and spontaneously.

Technology has profoundly transformed architecture and represents a core value in our work philosophy.

Over the years, we have perfected the use of tools such as BIM to optimise project development, also integrating Rhinoceros 3D for modelling complex structures and Twinmotion Unreal Engine for real-time renderings. These digital tools allow us to visualise and adjust every detail before construction, ensuring that the final project aligns with our vision and our clients' requirements.

Constant dialogue between team members is another essential pillar of our approach. Conversations between architects, designers and technicians create an environment in which ideas continually evolve, generating more creative and informed solutions. This flow of ideas is nurtured by models, drawings and digital tools, creating a process in which the tangible and the virtual intertwine organically.

Our creative process is structured under the MIND concept, a philosophy that encompasses the fundamental pillars of our work: methodology, idea, narrative and design.

This philosophy guides each of our projects. Firstly, we apply a rigorous methodology that combines traditional techniques with advanced technological tools, optimising architectural development.
The creative idea is the driving force behind each project, always seeking a disruptive innovation that respects the context and offers a new perspective.

Narrative is key to our approach, as we believe that every project has a story to tell. Through it, we connect emotionally with users, creating spaces that are both functional and meaningful. Finally, the design is the tangible result where methodology, idea and narrative converge. We ensure that it is aesthetically advanced, functional and sustainable, paying special attention to detail and harmony with the environment.
MIND is the philosophy that ensures that all phases of design are aligned, from initial conception to final materialisation. This approach allows us to create projects that transcend culturally and architecturally, leaving a positive mark on people's lives.
