Founded in 2004 by Sebastián Machado (Buenos Aires 1976), Mano Arquitectura designs in a careful and detailed way, with the clear influence of the place and the people who live there. They start from a deep knowledge of that habitat to design spaces with the love and passion for things well done and designed to last.
The Mano Arquitectura team is made up of professionals from various disciplines: urban planning, landscaping, architecture, engineering, interior design and furniture design are integrated into each project in a coherent way to express ideas that draw from the past but look to the future.
A look that seeks to integrate into the landscape in a subtle way and create a dialogue between people and the place, aware that human beings need all their senses to connect with nature and that each stone that is placed implies a responsibility towards the environment.
They carefully choose noble materials that, with the subtle use of light, create atmospheres that activate the senses and, with them, the memory. The smell of wood, the echo of stone, the feel of stucco: the materials are selected with today in mind, but also with their way of ageing, their way of accepting the passage of time, the patina caused by wear and tear and their ability to break and remain beautiful.
The works they design aim to extend the wisdom of the place by bringing new signs that enrich the environment. They aspire to a timeless architecture that is capable of creating new sensations.
