AtelierM

AtelierM, established in 2020 by Matias Mosquera in Buenos Aires, Argentina, has distinguished itself as a leading architectural practice committed to circular economy principles and sustainable design innovation. The studio operates as a collaborative creative workshop, engaging in constant experimentation across diverse scales and typologies while maintaining rigorous attention to environmental responsibility and material durability.

Under Mosquera's direction, supported by partners Camila Gianicolo, Francisco Gómez Paratcha, Cristian Grasso, Carolina Tobar, and Milagros Vita, the firm has garnered international recognition for its avant-garde approach to contemporary architecture. The practice philosophy centers on perpetual exploration, treating each design process as improvisational composition where parametric technology converges with ancestral construction trades to generate unexpected, site-specific solutions.

AtelierM's methodology transcends conventional sustainability metrics, pursuing what the firm terms "productive architecture" through closed-loop systems that reeducate inhabitant behaviors while minimizing dependence on external infrastructure networks. This commitment manifests in projects that prioritize natural ventilation strategies, passive thermal performance, and material longevity, with brick, timber, and regionally sourced materials forming the studio's tectonic vocabulary.

The firm's design philosophy centers on the principle of transforming constraints into innovative opportunities, a concept that manifests in projects characterized by material consistency, environmental passive strategies, and spatial fluidity. AtelierM's portfolio demonstrates consistent excellence in creating environments that balance functional performance with environmental harmony, establishing the firm as a significant contributor to contemporary sustainable residential architecture.

The practice understands architecture as an expanded discipline, encompassing interdisciplinary collaboration, material experimentation, and social responsibility. The firm's work has achieved significant recognition, including the 2025 Architizer designation as seventh among Argentina's best architecture and design firms, the 2024 CAPBA Built Work Award second place, and multiple Golden Trezzini Awards honorable mentions. Mosquera concurrently serves as Architectural Design professor at the University of Buenos Aires since 2018, ensuring the practice maintains academic rigor alongside professional innovation. Through comprehensive professional services including architectural design, parametric technology application, and sustainable construction consulting, AtelierM is committed to redefining residential architecture through innovative sustainable design practices, showcasing the essence and innovation of Argentine design on the international stage. Notable completed works include the award-winning House CM, ZigZag residence, MeCa residence, and multiple residential and public projects throughout Argentina, each demonstrating the firm's capacity to address diverse programmatic requirements and environmental challenges.
