About Paz Arquitectura
Paz Arquitectura is a Guatemala City architecture studio known for contemporary houses and mixed-use buildings in the capital, including the AEME Building. Its work combines precise geometry, exposed concrete, timber and large glazed surfaces to connect interiors with landscape and daylight.
For a residential commission, start by defining how many bedrooms, bathrooms and social spaces you need, and whether the plot is flat or sloping, since that shapes volume and orientation. It also helps to say whether existing trees should be kept or views opened up, as those features often organise the studio's plans.
Before appointing the practice, ask for an initial meeting to review references, scope, phased fees and timescales, and bring the title or site plan, site photographs and an indicative budget. Confirm what each phase covers — concept design, construction drawings, site supervision — and which municipal procedures the studio will handle.
