Who is ARCHiLABS? 

ARCHiLABS, founded and solely operated by myself, Daniel Magallanes, is a boutique firm specializing in freelance architectural endeavors. Despite its compact scale, the firm is dedicated to discerning and interpreting the distinct needs of each client, with a concentrated focus on fostering enduring, constructive relationships throughout the course of each project. In an effort to encapsulate a understanding of project briefs, clients are engaged with and are often assigned preparatory 'homework'. This interactive process is imperative for acknowledging and integrating the clients’ preferences and lifestyle into the final design seamlessly.

At the heart of ARCHiLABS’ design philosophy is a harmonious amalgamation of lush greenery and insightful psychology. Each design aims to encapsulate the fluidity of space, allowing users to engage with and experience areas differently as the day unfolds, thereby crafting unique moments and memories. The firm is particularly invested in understanding the subtle nuances of how individuals interact with and inhabit spaces during varying times of the day. This meticulous approach ensures designs that not only respond to but also enhance the daily rhythms of life.

Furthermore, every design initiative undertaken is underpinned by an in-depth site analysis, examining the site’s character, context, and environmental features such as sunlight and wind patterns. This rigorous analytical process informs and shapes the design, ensuring optimal alignment with the natural elements, ultimately yielding spaces that are not only environmentally conscious but also deeply attuned to the sensory experiences of the occupants. Through this finely-tuned, client-centered approach, ARCHiLABS aspires to deliver designs that are both sustainable and psychologically enriching, providing a canvas for life’s myriad experiences.
