What AGi Architects does

AGi Architects is a privately-held, hispano-kuwaiti architecture and design firm founded in 2006 by Joaquín Pérez-Goicoechea and Nasser B. Abulhasan, both educated at Harvard University. The firm operates from its headquarters in Kuwait City (Kuwait Free Trade Zone) and a regional office in Madrid, with a team of 40+ professionals. It provides multidisciplinary architectural services spanning building design, interior design, and urban planning for clients in residential, healthcare, government, cultural, educational, and commercial sectors across the Middle East and Europe. Core technical differentiators include a research-driven design culture (led by Partner Gwenola Kergall for 20+ years), expertise in Passivehaus/EnerPHit and LEED-certified sustainable design, and typological innovation in climate-adaptive architecture (e.g., the Wind Tower vertical courtyard concept in Kuwait).

The firm monetizes through professional services on a project-by-project basis, with no publicly disclosed pricing. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales: direct client relationships with government entities, developers, and institutions, supplemented by participation in international architectural competitions (Qatar Courthouse, Mashhad City Complex, both winning second prize) and earned media via awards, an active English/Spanish blog, and academic forums. The customer base is project-based and diversified across named clients such as SJM Kidney Transplant & EMB Neurosurgery Hospital, Ali Mohammed T. Al-Ghanim Clinic, Hisham A. Alsager Cardiac Center, Qatar Courthouse, the Saudi Court Complex (Riyadh, Makkah, Jeddah), KFAS Campus, and Prague Emergency Medical Centre, with no single repeat-customer concentration disclosed. The firm is supported by a layered management team including two Managing Directors (Aisha Al Sager, Daniel Muñoz) and three newly appointed Associate Architects (Lucía Sánchez Salmón, Stefania Rendinelli, Cristina Araujo) as of March 2026. Revenue is not publicly disclosed and there are no funding rounds, parent companies, or subsidiaries on record.

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• HOK: Large global architecture practice with dedicated healthcare, education, and cultural-sector practices; directly competes for the hospital and civic commissions AGi targets in the GCC and Europe, with substantially more delivery capacity.
• BIG (Bjarke Ingels Group): International star-architecture firm with a similarly strong cultural and residential signature-project focus and major Middle East/Asia exposure; competes head-to-head with AGi in international competitions but at significantly larger scale.
• Rogers Stirk Harbour + Partners: Mid-to-large UK-founded practice with strong cultural, civic and education portfolio across Europe and beyond; comparable stylistic and sector overlap with AGi's civic and cultural work, but larger and more established.
• Zaha Hadid Architects: Global mega-practice with deep Middle East and cultural-institution portfolio; AGi faces it directly in Gulf-region competitions and on civic/cultural signature commissions.
• Foster + Partners: Global tier-1 architecture practice operating across the same sectors as AGi (cultural, healthcare, civic, residential) and competing for the same Middle East and European mega-projects, but with materially larger headcount, geographic reach, and integrated engineering – the dominant incumbent above AGi's tier.

Direct peers

• Snøhetta: Mid-size, design-led international architecture practice (founded Norway, now ~250 staff) with a comparable multi-sector portfolio spanning cultural, civic, healthcare, and educational projects. Operates with a research-driven culture analogous to AGi's, making it one of the closest boutique-scale comparables.
• MVRDV: Mid-size Dutch architecture firm with a deeply research-driven, multidisciplinary practice spanning cultural, residential, commercial and mixed-use work. Like AGi, it competes in international competitions globally and uses a research-led identity to differentiate.
• Studio Gang: Boutique US-anchored architecture studio with a research-led, multi-sector portfolio (cultural, civic, residential, sustainable). Similar scale and brand positioning to AGi, with comparable emphasis on sustainability and contextual design as differentiation.
• Perkins&Will: Internationally active architecture practice with a particularly strong healthcare specialization. Directly comparable to AGi's healthcare and education portfolio focus, and a key competitor for hospital commissions AGi targets in Kuwait and the wider Gulf.
• MAD Architects: Boutique-to-mid design-led practice with strong Asia/Middle East project exposure, cultural and residential specialization, and an aesthetic, signature-style approach. Closely comparable to AGi on size, sector mix, and award-based brand building.
