Studio · Seattle / Bellevue · Bogotá
Seven people. On purpose.
Métrica is a small studio by design. Clients work directly with the founders, from concept to completion. The scale may change; the method doesn't.
“We keep things simple — a small, experienced team that stays close to the work. The process is structured but personal.”
Andrés leads the design of every project personally. Juan runs delivery and permits. Angélica coordinates the day to day, Laura the interiors, Sandra the BIM. There are no layers of management between the studio and the site.
