HW Studio

HW Studio, an architecture firm based in Mexico, Founded in 2010 by Rogelio Vallejo Bores, Oscar Didier Asencio Castrocreado, Vera Sanchez Macouzet and other multidisciplinary architects. The original intention of the studio is to create a space that promotes peace based on artistic principles and eastern (Buddhist) philosophy and Western concepts.

The name of HW-Studio, comes from the union of the H letter, which in Spanish is considered the silent letter and it means the representation of silence. The W letter comes from the Japanese concept wabisabi, which has no Spanish translation or direct equivalence with western concepts, but it could be understood as beauty of the impermanent and the imperfect. They understand architecture as being the act of placing limits within the void, and that these limits achieve an elegant beauty of humble simplicity.

Meditation is part of their creative process, becoming the natural and obvious answer for the creation of spaces that can transmit a serenity sensation, tranquility and silence, in a world mostly noisy and violent. They constantly seek to promote an appreciation of what is really important in life, eliminating from architecture, everything that is not essential, so that through conscious contemplation, states of inner peace are reached.

HW Studio sees architectural language as a value in the entire design process, and they quote Yoshio Taniguchi's motto: "A building is basically a container. I hope they don't like teacups, they like tea." The firm's focus is more on the essentials, and in addition to the exterior, they want to create buildings that truly awaken national consciousness and emphasize coexistence.

    Design Works

    • Casa Emma

      Light, once captured, enters a space, revealing its materiality and evoking emotions.
    • Shi House

      The Shi House sits patiently on the slope of a ravine, awaiting each day for the sun to set behind the mountain. This project is comprised of a vertical element housing the stairs and some horizontal circulations, opting for a stone materiality to become, over time and weather, part of the mountain it nestles upon; and a horizontal white element accommodating the entirety of this house's program.
    • Enso House II

      When work began on this small house and after a thorough historical research, it was concluded that there are few places in Mexico with a constructive identity as strong as Guanajuato.
    • The Hill in Front of the Glen

      Like this project, it creates continuity between the beautiful surface and its surroundings, forming a new hill in a place surrounded by many people.
    • Casa AI

      The white modern Ai Tower, intended to be a space that evokes silence, a pause between any urban bustle and the sometimes violent symphony.
    • Casa JA

      The main facade of the house was carefully hidden by the design studio from passers-by on the street. The studio wanted the house to be intimate and quiet, just to hint at its presence.
