Precision over haste
Every piece starts from a drawing and is resolved in the workshop: cut list, joinery, hardware and finish. We respect the wood's timing, which is why we don't take rush jobs.
THE WORKSHOP
Architectural millwork from Huayápam, Oaxaca.
We work with architects, interior designers, hotels, restaurants and homeowners who value material and craft.

WHO WE ARE
Neither a factory nor a small shop.
Since 2001, our workshop near Oaxaca City has made solid-wood doors, windows, architectural elements and furniture for homes, hotels and restaurants across Oaxaca, Mexico City and Valle de Bravo.
Large enough to deliver an entire hotel or home, we keep every project close to the craft. We make to order and build pieces that can be maintained, repaired and restored for generations.

HOW WE WORK
Four workshop principles.
A craft that is taught
Master carpenters, journeymen, apprentices, sanders and finishers work alongside design, purchasing, warehouse and logistics. The craft passes from one generation to the next inside the workshop.
Responsible origin
Our workshop runs on solar power. We choose wood for its origin and for how it will perform on site, and we prefer regional species whenever the project allows.
Made in Oaxaca
We collaborate with Oaxacan artisans in palm weaving, carving and engraving. Their work becomes part of our pieces, and the value it creates stays in the region.
OUR PHILOSOPHY
Against obsolescence, for what endures.
A well-made piece isn't replaced: it is maintained, repaired and refinished. That's why we work only in solid wood, take care over every joint and every finish, and maintain what we make.
MISSION
We turn the designs of architects and interior designers into solid-wood doors, windows, structure and furniture, made by hand in Huayápam, Oaxaca, to last, to be repaired and to stay with each space for generations.
VISION
To be the workshop that architects, hotels and restaurants across Mexico trust with their millwork when wood takes center stage, known for the precision of its craft, for training the next generation of Oaxacan master carpenters and for working with responsibly sourced wood.
VISIT THE WORKSHOP
Pieces are best understood in person.
