WE DESIGN WITH PURPOSE
Leguía Yias Arquitectos is a studio founded in Buenos Aires in 2007 with an idea that seemed uncommon at the time: to strengthen architecture and design from multiple simultaneous areas of action.
We are not a traditional architecture office. We are a team that thinks before building. That designs processes before spaces. That integrates strategy, brand and architecture into a single vision.
Over more than thirty years we have worked with companies, industries, developers and families on projects ranging from the functional planning of an industrial plant to the design of a home in the jungle. The scale changes. The methodology does not.
We design what happens to us.
Our practice rests on a combination of sensitivity and technical precision. We work from listening, because we believe that deeply understanding those who will inhabit a space is the true starting point of any good architecture.

We approach interior design from an integral perspective, developing furniture, lighting, materials and circulation as part of a single architectural language. We seek spaces with identity, without the need for stridency. Spaces that can move you through precision rather than excess.
View discipline → 03Space and identity are the same argument.
Our experience in art direction, animation, branding, graphic design and visual communication allows us to develop complete concepts, capable of spanning architecture, interior design, signage, audiovisual content, and narrative.
View discipline → 04Architecture, business and integrated vision.
A successful real estate project does not begin with a building. It begins with a precise reading of the market, the territory, the regulations, the product and the real opportunities. Our practice combines architecture, urban strategy, financial analysis, branding, communication and commercialization within a single work process.
View discipline → 05Architecture of processes, flows and experiences.
We focus on processes, human dynamics, logistics, circulation, timing, functional relationships and the overall efficiency of a system. We work on what usually goes unseen, but which determines the operational success or failure of any project.
View discipline → 06Where nature stops being scenery and becomes architecture.
Our approach to landscape arises from a deep conviction: people need to reconnect with nature to live better. Contemporary architecture has spent too much time separating human beings from their natural surroundings. We try to walk the opposite path.

Before designing a space,
we design what that space
must make possible.
