HW Studio Arquitectos is a Mexican architecture firm based in Morelia, whose work demonstrates a sculptural, meditative approach to contemporary design. Their projects often emphasize spatial purity, the use of minimalist materials (especially concrete), and careful orchestration of light, shadow, and geometry. Each design seeks to balance expressive form with a sense of calm and introspection.
The firm’s portfolio is centered on custom residences and thoughtful architectural commissions, bringing precision and serenity to every project. Their designs are characterized by grounded formal gestures, clarity of structure, and the creation of moments of quiet within built space.
