GARQUITEG offers a five-stage architectural design service to develop each project clearly and efficiently—from the initial idea to the construction documents.
1. Concept Design
This stage involves gathering information from the client and the site to define their vision and style. Based on this, a conceptual proposal and cost estimate are prepared. This phase establishes a solid foundation to guide the project's development.
2. Architectural Design Development
Based on the concept, architectural plans are produced. Client feedback is incorporated to refine and consolidate a complete and well-articulated proposal tailored to the users' needs.
3. Permit Drawings
This stage includes the development of technical drawings required for regulatory approval and construction. These are produced in collaboration with specialists from each discipline to ensure the project's technical feasibility.
4. Construction Drawings
Detailed plans are produced, including finishes, carpentry, metalwork, and construction details to ensure proper execution on site.
5. Interior Design
GARQUITEG provides an integrated service by designing built-in furniture using locally sourced, low-maintenance, high-durability materials—ensuring an aesthetic and functional result suitable for coastal climates.
The studio also collaborates with local artists and artisans in the selection of textiles, furniture, lighting, and artwork, highlighting the cultural value of the region.
GARQUITEG offers turnkey construction services, covering everything from soil analysis to the final handover of a move-in-ready project. This model allows clients to fully delegate execution, with the assurance that each stage will be handled comprehensively and in strict adherence to the original architectural design.
From the outset, GARQUITEG manages and resolves all technical conditions. Construction is carried out by an in-house team of masons, plumbers, and electricians, ensuring technical execution aligns with the design and that communication remains seamless throughout every phase of the project.
This operational model enables GARQUITEG to deliver robust, well-resolved projects that are fully adapted to the climatic (hurricane-prone) and construction context of Puerto Escondido. This is achieved through thoughtful design and the use of local, durable, and low-maintenance materials. Each project is executed with attention to detail and a vision that integrates architecture, technique, and environment in a coherent and sustainable way.
GARQUITEG stands out for its ability to translate international references into projects that are coherent with their surroundings. Clients seeking to evoke ideas or spaces like Santorini or Moroccan riads find in the studio a team capable of reinterpreting those concepts through a regional architectural lens.
Beyond design, GARQUITEG has a direct impact on the social development of the area. Each project not only raises the studio’s standards but also actively contributes to the training and specialization of local labor.
Through hands-on construction practice, the team promotes technical improvements and new skills among regional workers, generating a cycle of shared growth between architecture, community, and territory.
