Who is Arkham?

Who is Arkham?

01

Great stories START FROM IDEAS

Changing the rules of the ( im ) possible, one human at a time.

Our story begins in 2013. Two completely different minds join efforts under a shared vision, a shared purpose:

To positively impact the lives and stories of those who place their trust on us through design. To act as a bridge between the imaginary and the real worlds, not just by transforming and realizing dreams, but by putting them at the forefront of everything we do.

We co-create architecture with and for people. We believe in the power of teamwork, of setting the ego aside and of letting our purpose guide us through this story.

The Arkham Formula

To create our projects and bring them to life, there is a process that we’ve been developing for years. Just like in science, our own discoveries have led us to develop this equation that might change as we discover new things with each project, but that will essentially continue to obey the same principle.

We understand that architecture must be more than simply cement and concrete, more than just a refuge. This is why we aspire to create spaces that excite people, that encourage them to imagine impossible realities and that, at the end of the day, invite them to inhabit these dreams that we had the honor of helping realize.

“I don’t think that architecture is only about shelter or about a very simple enclosure. It should be able to excite you, to calm you, to make you think.” – Zaha Hadid.

We have the perfect equation to turn the impossible into possible:

Arkham through history

Although we’re grateful and honored for our recognitions and awards, we’re aware that these do not define us and are not our motor, nor our raison d’être. However, they are that pat on the back that motivates us to continue creating our own vision of reality , to continue inspiring and transforming.
