Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO is a Mexico City—based architecture studio founded in 2004. At the core of the studio’s practice is an analysis of the context surrounding projects, which scale from masterplans to affordable housing. A goal of the work is to contribute to its surroundings while remaining flexible to absorb shifting needs.

Tatiana Bilbao ESTUDIO pursues architecture through multidisciplinary perspectives. We promote a collective environment with a diverse staff of architects, academics, and model makers. Our working method uses hand drawing and iterative models to keep design and development rooted in spatial, not digital, exploration. We elevate collaborations between other architects, artists, economists, local governments, and more, to enrich the impact and reach of each project.

The studio’s architectural work includes the Culiacán Botanical Garden, the Pilgrimage Route in Jalisco, an institutional building on the UDEM campus, a research center by the Sea of Cortez, and a social housing prototype displayed at the 2015 Chicago Biennial that costs the buyer under $8,000. The studio has had work featured at the Graham Foundation, Chicago Architecture Biennial, Venice Biennale, Museo de Arte Contemporáneo de Monterrey, Museo Amparo, T-space Gallery, and Centre Pompidou, among others.
