Intemperie Studio

What Intemperie Studio does

Intemperie Studio is an Ecuadorian architecture, landscape, and urbanism design firm founded in 2015 and headquartered in Samborondón, Ecuador. The firm operates as a small professional services practice with approximately 9 employees, delivering architectural design, landscape architecture, and urban planning services across residential, commercial, hospitality, and urban development segments. Its scope spans the full design lifecycle for built environments, including conceptual design, site planning, and urban framework development. The firm maintains an operational affiliation with JAG Studio, a related entity, and collaborates externally with Otto Velasco Arquitecto.

The firm has executed a portfolio of named projects including La CAVA (a hospitality venue completed in 2023), Casa del Lago (a residential project spanning 2019-2022), Millenium Village (a 114-family residential development completed in 2021), and Urbanización Vilanova, alongside the launch of Oficina Intemperie 2.0 in 2023. It has also completed international project work in Singapore, Colombia, Chile, and Mexico, evidencing cross-border design capability beyond the Ecuadorian home market.

Intemperie Studio monetizes through project-based professional design fees typical of small architectural practices, with revenue recognized per engagement rather than via recurring contracts. Its client base consists primarily of high-net-worth individuals and real estate developers seeking bespoke design services. Founded by Fabiana Alvear Gilbert and Manuel Colon Amador, the firm competes on design quality, founder reputation, and portfolio credibility within the Ecuadorian market rather than on scale or technology differentiation.
