Studio
Arroyo Solís Agraz is an architecture practice led by Salvador Arroyo, Rosa Agraz and Alejandro Solís. Rosa and Alejandro started it in 2010, and Salvador joined in 2014. The practice works between Mexico City and the Tijuana-San Diego border and designs in both countries: housing, offices, community centers, houses, interiors and pavilions.
Every commission starts from its conditions: the code, the site, the climate, the budget, what is already there. ASA does not arrive with a single answer. It presents options side by side and decides with the client.
Many clients come back. HASTA Capital has commissioned five projects; Grupo México, two community centers; Acuario Michín, both of its locations.
