Salvador Macias Corona and Magui Peredo Arenas founded Guadalajara-based Estudio Macias Peredo in 2012 with a focus on design and construction, embracing a critical regionalism in which the craftsman is part of the building process. The firm has designed residential, commercial, and institutional projects across Mexico that combines the local and the global to create a timeless architecture that makes the vernacular contemporary while exposing the handcrafted materials. Their projects include residential projects and commercial projects. The firm also won the Pabellon Eco 2013 competition at the Museo Experimental El Eco in Mexico City for a temporary installation to make a courtyard into a public square.
