Archion Architects

What Archion Architects does

Archion Architects is a private, founder-led architecture and design firm headquartered in Quezon City, Philippines, established in 2003 by Principal Architects Daniel A. Lichauco and Peter S. Ong. The firm delivers a multidisciplinary design practice spanning architecture, interior design, master planning, and full engineering coordination (structural, mechanical, electrical, plumbing, and fire protection), with engineering services executed through long-standing joint ventures with specialists such as Meinhardt Philippines, EH Sison Engineers, and AV Gutierrez & Associates. Over 20+ years the firm has completed 97+ projects across six sectors: healthcare (39 projects, its primary vertical), institutional (19), commercial (10), residential (12), interiors (5), and master planning (12), with notable credentials including the first EDGE-certified commercial building in Arca South (Nickel Asia Manta Corporate Plaza) and a World Architecture Festival 2023 finalist designation.

The firm serves a mix of Philippine national government agencies (Department of Health, Philippine National Police, Quezon City Government, Quirino Provincial Government), healthcare institutions (The Medical City, Ospital ng Makati, Shinagawa, Ospital ng Pampanga/OFW Hospital), corporate and education clients (Nickel Asia, De La Salle - College of Saint Benilde, College of Immaculate Concepcion), and select international engagements in Guam, UAE, Vietnam, and Senegal. Its go-to-market is sales-led, driven by direct client relationships, competitive bidding on government tenders, repeat institutional clients, and a portfolio-driven website supplemented by Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook presence.

Revenue is generated on a project-based professional services model with custom, quote-based pricing tied to scope and complexity, and contracts typically spanning multiple years due to the long design-to-construction cycle of hospital and institutional work. The firm operates with 14 employees and five named partners encompassing co-founders and three additional partners, with no disclosed external ownership, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity since founding.
