What Taller de Arquitectura does

Taller de Arquitectura (TDA; legal name Arquitectura TDA) is a privately-held architectural firm headquartered in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico, with an additional office in Calexico, California, and a partnership-anchored presence in Central America through Arquitectura y Diseño in Costa Rica. The firm specializes in architectural design for commercial and industrial development, supported by topographic studies, master planning, graphic representation, and land use permit services.

TDA's business model is a sales-led, fixed-price professional services model. The firm submits professional design fee proposals directly to prospective clients and positions itself as an architectural engineering asset embedded in client project teams. Its go-to-market is anchored on direct engagement with enterprise customers, supported by a website portfolio that showcases completed industrial complexes. Notable reference projects include a 12,000 m2 Gulfstream aerospace industrial complex in Mexicali, a 10,000 m2 Honeywell aerospace manufacturing facility on Lázaro Cárdenas Avenue, a 500 m2 Valassis paper products complex, plus additional industrial work for Goodrich and Torre Cemenquin. The firm is committed to continuous education through annual US conference attendance as a means of maintaining code and technology currency.

The firm operates with a headcount band of 11-50 employees. It has no disclosed funding, revenue, ownership structure, or management team information in the public sources reviewed. Its primary customer segments are industrial development companies in northwestern Mexico and American/European companies requiring international code compliance, with a horizontal segmentation approach.
