ARCHITEKTEN is a collaborative and multidisciplinary architecture, landscape, and construction studio founded by Felipe Palacios and Johann Moeller in 2016, based in Cumbayá, Ecuador.
ARCHITEKTEN approaches environmental design through a broad reflection from the landscape's panorama to the object's miniature. The office develops innovative solutions that turn the inherent limitations of each project into the design trajectory, exploring opportunities in the overlap between client, place, space, process, environment, budget, and materiality.
ARCHITEKTEN manages its commissions towards high-quality design and executes projects with innovative, sustainable, and environmentally friendly construction criteria. Personalized service, close interaction with the client, and interpretation of their aspirations are the hallmarks of its work ethic.
ARCHITEKTEN leads the conceptualization and implementation of architecture and landscape projects in collaboration with a strong team of engineers, contractors, artists, and suppliers. Collective effort is key to generating vibrant and authentic places.
