A s architects, we are responsible for the creation of spaces through the interplay of experiences and sensations in a given context. Our context is comprised of our roots, our cultural origins and the geographic environment that surrounds our daily life. But what is the best place for an artist to be part of this binational dialogue? A place where the clash between cultures and rules creates a world of possibilities in design and contemporary architecture, a border where the energy and dynamics between San Diego and Tijuana have given birth to one of the most interesting economies in the world. The opportunity to live the two cultures on both sides of this thin line offers the opportunity of experiencing each space, each situation with great intensity, creating an incredible diversity in every moment of our lives. Because of this, our profession grows rich thanks to this region, offering us a wide range of opportunities to create spaces that will welcome clients and minds from diverse cultures, places where this dialogue between regions comes to life. As architects we have the responsibility to create spaces that satisfy the desires of those that are in search of a unique style. At Kom Studio, our job is that of creating a dialogue through the different elements belonging to the culture of this region, bringing to life experiences and sensations full of history and diversity. Our designs are born from a conversation between natural elements and art, thus creating a harmonic result which reflects the essence and the soul of Mexican architecture.
