We are an International Architecture and Design studio founded by Drew Merkle in 2023, headquartered in San Juan, Puerto Rico. We are a bespoke design-led practice who provide architectural and design solutions of varying scale and complexity to clients and communities, with experience working across five continents. We have worked on multi-award-winning projects from design concept to completion.

Our breadth of knowledgebase working on varying building typologies—Cultural, Mixed-Use, Hospitality, Residential, Office, and Master Planning—has informed both our process and architectural design solutions. This wealth of knowledge and expertise gained across varying cultures and climatic regions is what makes us so unique as a practice. Our design focus is centered on High-end Residential, Multi-family Residential, Wellness, and Hospitality projects and the intersection of unique geometries.
