Borrero Architecture

What Borrero Architecture does

Borrero Architecture is a privately held, founder-led architecture firm founded in 2011 by Alejandro Borrero, AIA, LEED AP, based in Deerfield Beach, Florida. The firm delivers professional architectural services across two primary service lines: custom residential architecture (waterfront residences, single-family homes, and townhouses ranging from 2,700 to 5,800+ SF) and commercial/institutional architecture (community centers, conference facilities, banks, and public spaces). Notable commercial projects include the Boys and Girls Club Teen Center (7,200 SF), the NCCI Conference Center (7,800 SF), and the Baum Entry Complex at Palm Beach Zoo, the latter of which has won multiple AIA Palm Beach Honor Awards. The firm operates exclusively in South Florida markets including Boca Raton, Delray Beach, West Palm Beach, Fort Lauderdale, and Deerfield Beach.

The firm's core technology is traditional architectural design expertise emphasizing Florida Modern / tropical design, sustainable building practices, and integration with natural surroundings, supported by industry-standard tools (Revit internally standardized). The team consists of three professionals: founder/principal Alejandro Borrero, plus two project managers (Jonathan Villaman and Leonardo Riaño) with 10+ and 20+ years of experience respectively. The firm does not offer a software product, API, or platform; it delivers purely project-based consulting services.

The business model is fee-for-service professional architectural consulting, with pricing quote-based and determined by project scope, size, and complexity. Revenue is generated through two parallel client segments: high-end residential clients seeking custom waterfront and luxury homes, and commercial/institutional clients including nonprofits, financial institutions, and corporate entities. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and founder-led, with Alejandro Borrero personally engaging prospective clients through direct contact (phone, email, website inquiry). The firm has no external funding, no parent company, and no evidence of institutional investment. Marketing relies on its website portfolio, Instagram presence, and third-party AIA award validation. The firm has received five or more AIA Palm Beach Excellence in Design Awards from 2018 through 2024 across both residential and civic/institutional categories.
