Estudio Arkipelago is an international architecture and design practice based in Metro Manila, operating across the disciplines of architecture, interior design, and master planning. The firm’s work is defined by a commitment to context — blending local culture, climate, and craft with contemporary design thinking. Led by Principals Endika Ampudia Gamero (MSc Architect, MBA) and Felipe Díaz de Miranda (MSc Architect, Civil Engineer), Estudio Arkipelago brings together a multidisciplinary team of architects, interior designers, project managers, and consultants based in Taguig City, Philippines. The studio’s projects span a wide range of scales and typologies — from master plans and high-rise developments to boutique hospitality, commercial, and residential works. Ongoing and recently completed projects include CoKoro Haus in Manila, Valle Verde Residence, Blanco House, Panorama Boutique Hotel and Siargao Villas, Weaves of Asia, and Sierra Madre Ecoglamping. Estudio Arkipelago’s design philosophy emphasizes human connection, adaptability, and respect for place. Each project begins with a deep understanding of site and client, evolving through collaboration to create spaces that are both grounded and forward-looking. Natural materials, local craftsmanship, and efficient design systems are integral to the firm’s pursuit of sustainable, meaningful architecture. The practice draws inspiration from the diverse “islands” of knowledge that shape the built environment — architecture, engineering, interior design, and research — connecting them into a cohesive whole. Through this collaborative approach, Estudio Arkipelago seeks to craft spaces that celebrate difference, elevate everyday experience, and reflect the identity of the communities they belong to.
