For FC2STUDIO magnificence is found in quiet minimalist forms, expressive structure, timeless materials, and carefully resolved details. Fernando and Camilo came together with a common vision that architecture is an art that can be shaped, as well as give shape to who we are and how we feel. This diverse group of talented individuals has skills that lie in a broad array of design-oriented areas. From product design to architecture and urban design, FC2STUDIO has extensive experience in a variety of project types.
FC2STUDIO's designs celebrate light-filled open spaces with a powerful relation to the site and landscape. With each project, a contemporary modern approach to design is expressed as respect for the existing conditions combined with a fascination for finding innovative solutions tailored to meet the client's needs. Traditional material palettes, such as concrete, wood, and steel, are used throughout projects in combination with new materials with an eye towards creating timeless forms.
The studio's culture is relaxed and non-hierarchical; members of the small firm work with clients in an engaging, shared process to find smart and sustainable solutions. Closely guiding projects from design through construction, FC2STUDIO's collaborative and talented individuals create projects that perform to functional criteria, integrate sustainable methods and systems, and create sequences of space and light that are delightful to occupy. Although the firm specializes in modern design, FC2STUDIO has no particular emphasis on any particular building type. While the core of the practice remains architectural, the firm remains committed to providing design at many levels and is often involved in product, urban design, landscape and furniture design. The firm is interested in a critical approach to design, engaging contemporary culture and construction techniques in search of design solutions that are elegant, cost effective, and environmentally sensitive.
