Sustainable Craftsmanship in Tropical Architecture

At Atelier Alejandro Borrego, we design tropical architecture that enhances quality of life through harmony, intelligence, and sustainability. Rooted in over two decades of experience in architecture and interior design, our practice is defined by a deep respect for craftsmanship, climate, and place.

Each project is conceived as a unique dialogue between nature, material, and human need. We use locally sourced natural materials and passive design strategies to create efficient, elegant structures that minimize cost and environmental impact while maximizing comfort and beauty.

Guided by a philosophy of pure architecture—where light, air, structure, and landscape are thoughtfully integrated—we focus on elemental forms in resonance with their surroundings. 

Shaped by years of living and building in the tropics, our studio brings a synthesis of modern design principles and traditional tropical knowledge. 

These are not just houses—they are homes crafted with care, precision, and soul.
