Seis Arquitectos

What Seis Arquitectos does

Seis Arquitectos is a Guatemala-headquartered architectural and urban planning firm founded in 1997 as the merger of six architecture professionals, each bringing more than 40 years of experience. The firm provides three core service lines — preliminary feasibility analysis (including SWOT-based site studies and regulatory compliance), architectural design, and urban planning — supplemented by add-on modules covering structural and installation design, sustainable architecture (active and passive energy-saving elements, renewable energy systems, and recycled/treated water), and integrated sales and marketing management. Its technology backbone is the BIM (Building Information Model) methodology, used to optimize project information, enable collaborative design, perform structural calculations, and safeguard client deliverables across the project lifecycle from conceptualization through construction supervision and inauguration.

The firm serves enterprise clients across multiple vertical segments including residential developers, commercial real estate operators, retail developers, institutional clients (education, healthcare, and banking), and hospitality operators. Named project work includes Oakland Mall, Centro Comercial Miraflores, Diago 6, Torre Barcelona (2017 CEMEX award winner for best residential project), Hospital Multimédica, Edificio CIT UVG, Pradera East, and projects for Banco de Occidente and Banco Agromercantil. Geographic reach spans Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Costa Rica, the United States, Mexico, and Paraguay, with cumulative production exceeding 3,018,186 m2 designed and constructed.

The business model is project-based professional services: fees are determined per engagement based on scope, complexity, and requirements, with no publicly disclosed pricing and no recurring subscription contracts. The firm engages clients through a consultative direct-sales model beginning with requirements analysis and feasibility studies, moving through design proposals, and continuing through construction supervision. The firm is privately held (legal entity Seis Arquitectos, S.A.; DBA Seis Arquitectos & Asociados and 6 Arquitectos), led by General Manager Carlos Castellanos with partner José Orantes, includes the related operating entity Solares & Lara (founded 1972), and holds membership in ADIG (Asociación de Desarrolladores Inmobiliarios de Guatemala) and the Guatemala Green Building Council.
