01 about
OF Arquitectos is an internationally recognized architecture studio. It was founded by Francisco Cepeda and Alvaro Ramírez in Santiago de Chile in 2010. We are deeply passionate about what we do, we have designed residential buildings, museums, universities, offices, houses and public projects.
02 story
We started with small projects, particularly housing and retail, developing commissions inside and outside of Santiago. Over time and thanks to active participation in public architecture competitions and strategic partnerships with other offices, we have managed to develop projects of greater scale and interest. The Extension building of the Faculty of Architecture, Art and Design of the Diego Portales University (2016), selected in the exhibition "Winter: images of contemporary Chilean architecture", the Chagual real estate complex in Papudo (2019) and the recent award from the Aysen University in Coyhaique (2020). We have exhibited our work inside and outside Chile, highlighting the conference in Zagreb, Croatia, in the framework of "Chilean days of Oris", representing contemporary Chilean architecture (2019).
03 our vision
We currently develop all our projects under BIM (Building Information Modelling) methodologies, with a focus on the client and the complete life cycle of buildings, with a strong commitment to education and the push towards a digital transformation of the sector. In parallel to our professional practice, we both maintain a strong commitment to teaching, giving workshop courses at the main universities in Chile.
