Andrés Escobar Arquitectos

What Andrés Escobar Arquitectos does

Andrés Escobar Arquitectos (AE Arquitectos) is a Guadalajara, Mexico-based architectural firm founded in 1999 by Andrés Escobar Cárdenas, an ITESO-trained architect with prior exchange at Universidad Politécnica de Madrid. The firm delivers architectural design and project management services across four primary typologies: single-family residential (including weekend homes in Sierra de Tapalpa, urban residences in Zapopan, and beachfront properties), commercial spaces (retail, restaurants, office buildings), multi-family vertical developments, and urban planning. Projects span at least nine Mexican states (Jalisco, Quintana Roo, Nayarit, Baja California Sur, Guanajuato, Querétaro, Veracruz, Colima, Aguascalientes) plus international work in Saudi Arabia. The firm's distinguishing technical emphasis is on concrete material expression, local materials integration, and congruence between conceptual design and construction detail.

The business operates under a three-brand structure. AE Arquitectos is the core architecture studio. Perimetral, a jointly-controlled subsidiary founded with Cony and Juan Pablo Lupercio, delivers urbanism, master planning, and landscape architecture services (parks, public spaces, residential gardens, vertical tower landscapes). MIWA, a jointly-controlled real estate promoter founded with Jorge Martínez and Fausto Montilla, develops curated residential projects in premium locations (Tulum, Riviera Nayarit, Baja California Sur, Jalisco). The architecture practice monetizes via quote-based professional services fees; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Additionally, the firm has collaborated with established Mexican peers including Sordo Madaleno Arquitectos (Artz Pedregal) and Elias Rizo Arquitectos (master plan in Tapalpa).

The firm is founder-owned with no disclosed external investment, no subsidiaries beyond Perimetral and MIWA, and no public listing. Leadership is concentrated: founder Andrés Escobar Cárdenas, Workshop Chief Sergio Romo Vallejo (with the firm since 2000), and two project leaders (Eric Vásquez, Daniel Hueso). Marketing is portfolio-driven via Instagram, Facebook, and the firm website, supplemented by earned media in Arch Record, Rizzoli, Architectural Digest, Dezeen, Dwell, and ArchDaily. Scale is modest (11-50 employees), and revenue is not publicly disclosed.
