Benavides + Watmough arquitectos was founded in Lima, Peru in 1993, as an office for research, design and architectural projects. Their work spans a wide range of scales and programs: from a small beach house, to a medium-scale multi-family building, to a new university campus. In their work there is a continuous exploration regarding the management of space and light, with the well-being of the occupants being a constant concern.
As far as possible, their projects seek to “create the city” by incorporating the urban space into its dynamics, while in the case of working in the landscape, respect for it and proper implementation on the ground is essential. The work of Benavides + Watmough has been published in various national and international magazines.
