Abstract

HW Studio, based in Morelia, Mexico, is an architectural practice led by Rogelio Bores. Bores takes a contemplative approach to design, considering the variables of place, user, and designer in each project. The studio maintains a balanced and leisurely schedule, working on one project at a time and completing 15 projects in its first six years. HW Studio's designs aim to create open spaces that embrace the life that will inhabit them, using transparency in pastoral settings and opaque white boxes in urban contexts. The studio focuses on achieving forms and surfaces that are flush, frameless, and virtually seamless. Bores draws inspiration from his education in Spain and collaboration with skilled craftspeople. The studio's work is characterized by reductive simplicity and an ethereal beauty infused with rigor, restraint, refinement, and repose. [Extracted from the article]
