About RA!
RA! is an architecture studio based in Mexico City, founded in 2017 by Cristóbal Ramírez de Aguilar, Pedro Ramírez de Aguilar, and Santiago Sierra.
The studio approaches architecture as a living and evolving discipline one that transcends the material and technical to become a tool for fostering human connection and enriching the environments we inhabit. For RA!, architecture is not just about building physical spaces, but about creating emotional experiences that resonate deeply with those who live and interact with them.
We believe the built environment plays a fundamental role in shaping how we live, feel, and relate to one another. Whether social, familial, or intimate, every space holds the potential to influence our experience. That’s why we aim to create architecture that evokes emotion where the functional and the sensitive coexist to foster wellbeing, connection, and reflection.
RA! works at the intersection of tradition and innovation. We strive to create dialogue with the context reinterpreting it through a contemporary lens while honoring its roots. Using local materials, thoughtful proportions, and precise light, we design spaces that respond harmoniously to both their environment and the people who inhabit them.
Our approach combines conceptual sensitivity with technical rigor. Each project is developed in close collaboration with the client, through a process of open dialogue that leads to unique architectural solutions functional, beautiful, and emotionally engaging.
While based in Mexico City, RA! has carried out projects across Mexico and internationally, including the United States, Central and South America, Europe, North Africa, and Asia. Each context represents a new opportunity to propose architecture that is responsible, integrated, and deeply human.
