We
cultivate vision. work together. expand ideas. give form to the unseen.
We partner with clients from day one, ensuring clear communication and expert guidance at every stage. Collaborating seamlessly with builders, consultants, and other specialists, we work to keep each project on track and deliver results that exceed our shared ambitions.
While our aesthetic remains distinct, every project is shaped by its own unique character … born from our clients’ aspirations, the site’s potential, and the creative vision of our architectural team.
A R Q I S operates at the intersection of architecture, systems design, and storytelling.
Founded in 2023, ARQIS Studio has grown into a design-led practice crafting spaces defined by clarity, precision, and purpose. Rooted in architecture yet shaped by narrative thinking, our work spans residential, cultural, and ecological projects that emphasize timeless form and material honesty. With a presence across Mexico, Australia, New Zealand and international collaborations, we create architecture that endures. Built for real lives, real landscapes and a lasting sense of place.
Architecture, storytelling, & systems design … unified by clarity.

DISCOVERY & VISION
We begin by understanding your goals, lifestyle, and design aspirations. Through in-depth conversations and shared references, we uncover the opportunities and constraints of your project. A strong design brief is essential. This is where your wishlist, images, and core needs take shape ... and where we align on what truly matters to you. Expect questions like: • Have you collected any reference images? (Pinterest welcome) • Do you know your budget limits? • What are your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves? • Is timing a factor for you?
