-
Full architectural services for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects across the U.S. and Mexico. From concept through construction documentation, we deliver technically rigorous architecture shaped by material intelligence, spatial restraint, and disciplined coordination. Each project is developed to achieve equilibrium between performance, and atmosphere.
-
Project integration and/or Revit-based coordination connecting architects, engineers, and stakeholders from design development through construction. We bring structure to scope definition, consultant alignment, documentation workflows, and RFI resolution—ensuring disciplined and measurable delivery.
-
Custom objects and furniture conceived through identity, material study, and fabrication planning. Each piece is designed with clarity and production foresight, ensuring durability, precision, and refined material expression.
-
Comprehensive production oversight for object and furniture development. From feasibility and cost modeling to vendor coordination, prototyping, and quality control, we manage the full lifecycle to ensure controlled execution and consistent standards.
-

Studio Profile
Katachi Studio is a design and consultancy practice operating between Los Angeles and Mexico. The studio focuses primarily on architectural design for residential, commercial, and hospitality projects, integrating technical rigor with a refined material approach.
We work across architecture, interior environments, object and furniture design, and production strategy, developing projects that balance physical and spiritual functionality.We believe that architecture shapes both physical experience and internal perception. Every project is developed with a clear objective: to balance physical performance with spiritual presence. Structure, material, proportion, and light are studied not only for compliance and durability, but for the atmosphere they create and the way they support daily life.Katachi supports projects from early conceptual development through full construction documentation and consultant coordination. Our workflow integrates BIM, technical detailing, and interdisciplinary alignment to ensure clarity from design through execution.In parallel, the studio provides consulting services in architectural project management, AEC coordination, project accounting, and production strategy. These services are grounded in measurable structure and disciplined communication, enabling clients and partner teams to navigate complex design and construction processes with control and confidence.Founded by Gerardo Flores, an architectural designer and project manager, Katachi draws from experience across more than 94 multidisciplinary projects in fifteen U.S. states and Mexico. His background includes residential and commercial design, MEP/BIM coordination, and code-compliant documentation workflows, reinforcing the studio’s technical foundation.Established in 2020, Katachi extends this architectural and operational expertise into object and furniture design. The studio develops original pieces and small-batch productions in collaboration with manufacturers in Mexico, translating architectural thinking into refined, functional objects. Through this integrated practice, Katachi bridges built space, crafted form, and production systems—maintaining a consistent balance between physical functionality and spiritual intention.
