About
We are an architecture agency based in Medellín, Colombia, characterized by understanding architecture as a cultural practice and proposing an architecture for the tropics. We are a local practice with global ideas immersing ourselves in history and cultural contexts where we work, to provide unique, responsible and realistic spatial solutions.
Led by Camilo Restrepo Ochoa and Juliana Gallego Martínez, at AGENdA we give answers to the client´s needs through high quality architecture, interior and urban design. Our projects articulate a passionate commitment to academy, applied research, and the pragmatic reality of everyday life with ingenious results.
We do what we are, we are what we do
- We listen before we speak.
- We believe in the power of architecture to drive change.
- Architecture is a way of thinking, living and transforming the world.
- We like challenges. Each project is an opportunity to transform reality.
- We are more interested in quality than quantity.
- We respect the environments and cultures where we operate.
- We are passionate about architecture, culture, art, design and good conversations.
- We give the best solution with what is available.
- We investigate, think, ask questions, analyze and reflect before proposing.
- We want to be a bridge between dreams and reality, make ideas possible.
- We accept the difference and diversity of ways of thinking and doing.
- We seek, above all, present and future opportunities to generate well-being.
- The best design is the one that is possible.
- We seek constant learning. Knowledge matters.
- We love books. We read, read, and read... and with books we learn, we reflect, we wonder, we corroborate, we get amazed... they are our essence.
- We ask why and what for? And what if…?
- And, above all, we enjoy what we do.
