AE Architects was founded in Beijing and establish its practice from the 20 years of experience of Abel Erazo in Architecture, Landscape and Interior Design. Our philosophy has been influenced by Ancient Asian Zen and Western Modern. Taking from both the ideas of simplicity, pureness and symbolism. We adopted a strict minimalistic language to offer our clients the best abstraction and essential solution for their needs. This pure and simple geometry that creates a calm place well connected with nature use the idea of folding surfaces, like origami paper to produce a continuous space. With vast experience on food and beverage, office, hospitality, housing, commercial and cultural design, we ensure the creation of efficient, comfortable and unique spaces.
