Hospitals, laboratories and campuses
Architecture, engineering design and construction project management from Novaliches, Quezon City. In practice since 1993, designing for doctors, hospitals and research institutions since 2002.
From master plan to construction, one office in Quezon City
ARBuena Architects specialises in the design and construction management of healthcare and research facilities. The practice works for private clients and government institutions, from a single clinic fit-out to a hospital master plan.
Architects and engineers work as one team, so the drawings that get approved are the drawings that get built.
