Principal + Architecture
INNOVATION AND CLARITY SEEKER
Andres is constantly seeking for outcomes that surpass the project and client's expectations. Driven by the pursuit of deeper ideas, he creates buildings that tell clear, meaningful stories rooted in the people and places they serve. Committed to rigor and outstanding excellence, he implements his passion with clarity and craft, helping smbw continue to push the boundaries of design.
He is always looking for a clear and purposeful narrative in every design at hand. He seeks to develop spaces that are both purposeful and expressive of their users, their culture, and their vision. With strong stories as his compass, he creates work that can be memorable, emotionally engaging, rooted in the site, celebratory of nature, and reflective of its cultural context.
"I enjoy being part of a culture where that spark happens often. When trust, curiosity, rigor, and passion are alive, great architecture becomes inevitable."
