Ethelett, the architecture firm.
Ethelett arises from the interest in making architecture with concrete and verifiable goals. We see architecture as something important that impacts peoples’ lives. We assume our responsibility in its production.
We understand that architecture is not just visual art. Nor is it just a means to generate financial gain. It is the architect’s duty to cover all the edges. One of these is to ensure the health and safety of its inhabitants. But, recognizing that this cannot exist without the economic performance of the investor. We cannot conceive architecture without all its essential factors. There is not good architecture without material precision, environmental care, or sensory enjoyment. Likewise, architecture must be a concrete response to the specific needs of each client and place.
In short, ours is an alternative to options that dismiss essential aspects of this craft. We must not reduce the breadth of architecture.
Ethelett is backed by 20 years of experience in the development of architectural projects. We also have alliances with several engineering and architecture offices of recognized trajectory.
Those who know me best know how excited I am to create architecture.
Throughout my career, more than 20 years now!, I have asked myself many times: How to enrich it? What to do to take it to a better level?
Here are some of my answers:
• Create art in the form of memorable places that impact the senses.
• Use science to achieve real solutions to real needs. Among these I would highlight the health and safety of the inhabitant. Not to mention care for nature.
• Close the gap between the architecture celebrated by architects and the preferences and dreams of clients; avoiding compromising quality for economic convenience.
• Avoid wasting finite resources both on the planet and in my clients' budgets.
These ideas, while obvious, are rarely seen in combination. Through my experience in several prominent firms and projects, as well as my scientific training during my master's degree, I have been able to integrate these ideas into my design approach. The Ethelett Foundation represents my commitment to putting these principles into practice. For creating spaces where people enjoy living.”
