About
Avalos Arquitectos y Asociados, S.C. is an architecture, design, engineering, and construction firm. With over 40 years of experience, our team has earned an international reputation for high quality design and creative excellence. We are responsible for some of the most thoughtful, progressive, and award-winning structures in Mexico’s cities of Cabo San Lucas, San Jose del Cabo, La Paz, Mexico City, Loreto, Puebla, San Miguel de Allende, and Hermosillo, as well as in Spain and the United States.
Jacinto Avalos established his practice in Mexico City in 1970. In 1986, Jacinto Avalos and Ramon Osuna began designing and building projects together in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico. Avalos Arquitectos y Asociados, S.C. (“AAA”) was incorporated in January 1991.
AAA employs architects, designers, engineers, and builders of all trades who have extensive experience in creative and technical development, construction administration, and documentation, and who are highly qualified in managing complex projects.
We are full service master builders, integrating a full spectrum of services from design to construction, urban planning to interiors, and to concierge property management and real estate consulting services.
Above all, we are in service to our clients, most of whom have become repeat customers and good friends.
Our mission
To serve and delight our clients with excellence in design and execution, exceptional service, and ethics in practice. We create functional, meaningful spaces in harmony where light, texture, color, and volumes come to life.
We do not design spaces.We create lifestyles.
Our Philosophy
Our design philosophy is based on three pillars:
Our clients
For us, every project is personal, whether public or private. We believe that beautiful, thoughtfully executed spaces bring joy and a strong sense of place and belonging to those that inhabit them. We approach each project with a strong artistic sensibility and reverence for the lives that will be lived inside of it.
The land
A successful project achieves a harmonious relationship between architecture and its environment. We consider light, space, views, water, topography, and the unique qualities of each structure’s location and context. Our work is sensitive to and respectful of the land upon which we build, and meticulously designed to achieve the ultimate integration of nature and structure.
The architecture
We have developed a unique architectural language that is Mexican, functional, contemporary, and minimalist. We use local materials and textures in concert with simplicity of form, purity of space, and a curated range of materials.
We combine the clean volumes of minimalism with warmth derived from the use of natural materials to create a visual and emotional conversation between indoor and outdoor spaces.
“We are not first time builders. We have been involved in designing and building two homes, actively remodeled 9 or 10 homes and by far Villa Bellissima was the best. Not only that but we had the least input on all its design, because there was nothing we wanted changed that Jacinto showed us.
I would, without any reservation recommend Jacinto for any building project. Be it a house, a remodel or a commercial building.
In fact Jacinto managed the house after it was built, including finding the husband and wife who took care of the house, to our total delight.”
Owner of Villa Bellissima
“The results were beyond our expectations with individual private spaces coupled with functional flow. Our home is not only stunning in appearance and design but also functions well with our family and lifestyle. The house was designed and furnished to take full advantage of the gorgeous views and surroundings.
Working with Jacinto to get to the final phase of construction was a pleasure. We appreciated his attention to detail and the project was delivered on time and within budget. We will continue to enjoy what Jacinto has created and cherish the family memories in our Cabo San Lucas home for years to come.”
“Upon seeing Casa Serena for the first time, friends and visitors are amazed at its beauty and warmth. The construction came in under budget despite many upgrades that were made. It was completed in only 16 months, which was remarkable considering the size and complexity of the home.
You and Cecilia even went so far as to travel throughout Mexico to assist us in finding our furnishings, including having our furniture custom made, and introducing us to artists and galleries for fine art. Beyond our professional relationship, the friendship we’ve had with you and Cecilia has been very special to us as well.”
