Studio

Jorge Urias Studio is an architecture and design practice based in New York and Ciudad Juárez, Mexico. The studio works across scales, from multifamily residential and commercial buildings to developments and objects, approaching each project through its particular context, program, and conditions.

Materiality is central to the work. The studio explores locally sourced materials and construction systems, looking for new ways to use, combine, and reinterpret them. Rather than treating constraints as limitations, JUS uses them as opportunities to create architecture that is functional, resourceful, and distinctive.
