Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO

Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO is a Mexico City based architecture studio, founded in 2004. At the core of the studio ́s practice is an analysis of the context surrounding projects, which scale from masterplans to affordable housing typologies. A goal of the work is to both contribute to its surroundings while remaining flexible to absorb shifting needs.

Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO pursues architecture through multidisciplinary perspectives. We promote a collective environment with a diverse staff of architects, academics and model makers. The working method uses hand drawing and iterative models to keep design and development rooted in spatial and not digital exploration. We elevate collaborations between other architects, artists, economists, local governments and more, to enrich the impact and reach of each project.

Also, in 2019 Tatiana Bilbao Estudio was the featured architecture firm in the Architect ́s Studio series of exhibitions hosted by theLouisiana Museum of Modern Art. The studio has had work featured in the Graham Foundation, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Venice Biennale, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Museo Amparo, T- Space Gallery and Centre Pompidou to name a few. The last exhibitions of the firm were at the SF MOMA, the Architekturzentrum of Wien on 2021, while in 2022 the exhibitions were at Aedes Architekturforum of Berlín and the Danish Architecture Center.

This project presented a high level of complexity: the family house was to be located on a site that is over two and a half acres of rough terrain with large topographical variations. This suburban site is very steep but with a beautiful panoramic view of downtown Monterrey. The client wanted us to design a single story house with a radical division between public and private spaces which would also be energy efficient.
