A directory of contemporary architectural practices documented on ArchStacks, cataloging studio monographs, typological specialties, and built works.
Atelier Kanso is a Kyoto and Tokyo-based architectural practice focused on spatial silence, monolithic concrete, and the sensory modulation of natural light. Founded in 2011, the studio's work explores the boundaries between traditional Japanese spatial enclosure and contemporary structural minimalism.
Based in Mexico City, Estudio Umbral investigates tectonic weight, dark volcanic basalt, heavy board-formed concrete, and introverted courtyard sanctuaries. Their architecture balances profound intimacy with raw material presence.
Nordic Spatial Lab is a Copenhagen-based interdisciplinary practice exploring mass timber engineering, tactile brick craftsmanship, and landscape-integrated cultural institutions. Their architecture prioritizes circular materials and climatic resonance.
Founded in Tokyo, Morita & Partners is celebrated for lightweight steel structures, deconstructed urban infill residences, and transparent glass volumes that challenge traditional boundaries of domestic privacy.
Operating between Porto and Lisbon, Silva & Costa Arquitectos continue Portugal's proud tradition of stereotomic granite masonry, crisp white cubic forms, and poetic seaside dwellings tuned to Atlantic breezes.
Studio Terrene is a São Paulo-based practice recognized for monumental concrete cantilevers, sliding timber brise-soleil facades, and lush internal courtyards that merge architecture with Brazilian botanical biodiversity.
Baumgartner & Keller is a Zurich-based architecture firm known for rigorous monolithic stone masonry, alpine thermal bathhouses, and structural clarity executed with uncompromising Swiss precision.
Working out of Oaxaca and Mexico City, Taller Viento crafts architectural enclosures from stabilized rammed earth, unglazed ceramic lattices, and local timber, creating climate-positive sanctuaries with low embodied energy.
Based in Melbourne, ArchiForm Pacific designs lightweight steel pavilions, wide-veranda coastal homes, and passive solar residences responsive to Australia's intense climate and bushland ecosystems.
Taller Cordillera is a Santiago-based studio creating dramatic cliffside residences, board-formed concrete pavilions, and timber alpine shelters nestled along Chile's coastal and Andean landscapes.
