Architecture & Planning

Our architecture is based on the concept of integrated architecture or Green Architecture, which is architecture that is respectful of nature and its resources and which also creates a pleasant and comfortable environment for its occupants.It is also bioclimatic architecture as the projects are oriented so that they enjoy good views and take advantage of natural light while avoiding severe solar conditions. They take advantage of favorable climatic conditions and integrate the construction in the land, as well as incorporating elements like recycling water, using renewable resources and earth sheltered roofs with plants. The objective is always to reduce energy consumption and to harmonize the building with its surroundings.The architecture designed by Estudio BC Architects gets its strength from the simplicity of taking advantage of the best views and the topography of the site ,with its trees and rocks. They are timeless buildings that respond to forms from local vernacular tradition and necessity and not fashion.
