our philosophy
gutierrez & uribe
Design is about problem solving. Our philosophy is based on solving the most critical problems architecture faces in modern society. Bringing these ideas together in a harmony.
Nr. 01
location is our inspiration
Location speaks to history. Location speaks to the surrounding environment. Locations speaks to light. Allow these forces to create a symbiotic relationship with the architecture.
Nr. 02
your home your needs
Your home is where you live relax and sometimes work. Lifestyle, hobbies, and preferences all affect what you do. So why shouldn't your home?
Nr. 03
strength in construction
Trained also as a builders we don't solely focus on good design but also potential structural issues and complications that commonly arise. While it can be incredibly challenging to actually build sometimes it’s not impossible to make an uncommon built form that is also structural stable.
Nr. 04
spaces for the senses
Designing buildings where the occupants are at the center. We play with light, textures and sounds. Structures can express how light and darkness can be harnessed to create truly powerful experiences. Tastes and smells are associated in your brain when you enter and a response is produce. The main factor is engaging with the environment — and that impacts the way we feel, think, and behave.

Since founding G+U with Imelda Uribe in 1993, Luis M. Gutierrez has produced regional designs that reflect a commitment to a unique site that connect people and animals to the natural environment. A window, a garden, a wall, and a corridor in a space are key elements to reflect the study of place, climate and cultural precedent. The result is a design with transformative experiences that seeks to conserve energy and natural resources while creating healthy built environments. Luis' designs meet diverse program requirements while creating spaces that are meaningful and are tied to their particular surroundings.
Imelda shares with Luis the passion for horses, and believes in the importance of natural light and ventilation. Giving the horses the elements to be healthy and happy in a domesticated life. The result are barns that don't contradict natural equine instinct and adapt totally to the environment.
Belief in the functionality of spaces where the architecture is to serve, and to develop our inner soul. Our homes should be sanctuaries. Architecture should empower those spaces provoking on us a positive mind on our daily decisions and actions.
