Delivering a fully integrated experience—from the most delicate detail to full-scale architectural design—Adán García Cárabes transforms his clients’ dreams into volumes and objects that demand admiration.

Rooted in a deep love for design, drawing, art, and nature, Cárabes founded his namesake architecture studio in 2012. His work is defined by its tailor-made approach—projects are crafted like custom suits, each one born from the client’s vision and materialized through a master architectural plan. His sharp sensitivity to detail has organically expanded his practice into the realms of interior design and landscape architecture, forming a holistic, eclectic aesthetic. “I’m passionate about the entire journey of design,” he explains. “From a rug or a salt shaker to the master plan, everything matters.” He’s also the founder of Proyectos Paraíso, a sister firm focused on regenerative architecture.

With a Master’s degree in Sustainable Architecture, Adán began his career contributing to standout projects like the penthouse at Torre Mayor, the interior design and custom furniture for Sud 777, and major renovations at the Casa Lamm cultural center. His love for integrated design dates back to his early academic days at Universidad La Salle: “When we were asked to design an office building, I already knew I wanted a mural inside. Thinking about every layer—from macro to micro—is just part of who I am,” he recalls.

The studio’s ethos centers on understanding each client intimately—their personality, aesthetic preferences, and the emotional lens through which they view a space. Cárabes and his team become involved from the earliest stages and remain committed to ensuring harmony between architecture and interior design.

When asked about his signature style, Adán is quick to clarify: “I don’t have a fixed style. It’s essential for the architecture to reflect the user, and vice versa. The one constant in my work is originality—I want every project to be surprising.” Even so, his references are grounded in modernist traditions, particularly the teachings of the Bauhaus. “As architects, we need to ensure that every space serves a function and addresses a need. Aesthetically, I’m drawn to brutalism—an honest, bold architecture with weight and presence,” explains the winner of Mexico’s National Interior Design Award in 2014. Today, his studio also explores bioarchitecture, embracing low-impact materials and environmentally responsible practices.
