H1 Architecture, a renowned multidisciplinary architectural firm has won the title of The Best Luxury Architect and Interior Design Studio in Philippines at the Luxury Lifestyle Awards 2020.
Making dreams of beautiful and functional spaces a reality is what the team of H1 Architecture does for more than a decade. With over 20 years of combined experience working across Asia, Australia and the Middle East, co-founders, Raymond Hernandez and Juan Serina set up their own platform with a unique perspective on global architecture.
In those days, most large-scale planning and architecture projects in the Philippines were awarded to foreign architectural design consultants as lead designers, while the major Philippine architectural firms acted as partners, responsible only for construction documentation. By establishing their office, Raymond and Juan set an initial goal to put into practice what they had learned and changed the way they designed large complex projects in the Philippines. They started out by participating and winning numerous design competitions organised by some of the country's biggest developers.
A combination of Raymond’s ambition, passion, optimism, and vision with Juan’s focus, discipline, and experience became an ideal formula for their partnership and foundation of H1 Architecture in 2007.
Today H1 Architecture is a well-established full-service design firm creating holistic design solutions in the field of architecture, master-planning, urban design, and interior design. The company works on a wide range of luxury developments, among which complex mixed-use developments, hotels, resorts, shopping malls, residential and office buildings, casinos, and entertainment developments. With one of the largest portfolios of high-profile projects in the Philippines, it has earned the trust of investors and property owners.
H1 Architecture is focused on improving the quality of thinking behind every project, and the innovations brought about by the invaluable experiences in leading extremely diverse building types and scale lead to the successful completion of several award-winning major developments for their innovation and commercial success.
The H1 team’s guiding philosophies let them shape the future through a deep and thorough understanding of context and a narrative perspective. One of the aspects of H1 Architecture’s philosophy is that creating of narrative-driven structures paves the way for framing human stories and shaping the places.
The company’s designers and architects creatively respond to constraints and context, and as a result, come up with innovative solutions. H1 Architecture is also now focusing its efforts to evolve, broaden, and rethink how its successful ideas can be translated into solutions for international planning and architectural design projects. The holistic approach and distinct perspectives create a positive impact on people, places, and the environment. This mindset is what makes H1 Architecture naturally unique and different from others.
