Uribe Schwarzkopf and LA Arquitectos

Our office has been formed from our personal experiences. The fact that both partners transitioned from a more traditional background to contemporary education has influenced us and nurtured our growth and also allowed for a better understanding of our different surroundings. Having worked in multiple countries and traveled around the many extremes of the world gave us the tools to help move a local Ecuadorian architecture to a global perspective and push our personal agendas of materiality and form. The unique experiences constantly provoque conversation for the opportunities of creating a better place with the simplicity of good design.

L+A Arquitectos is an Architecture office founded by Aaron Leppanen and Gabriela Anker in Quito Ecuador. Leppanen+Anker Arquitectos have worked across multiple scales, programs and cultures.
