Ampuero Yutronic is an architecture and design studio founded by Catalina Yutronic and Javier Ampuero. Working across the United Kingdom and Chile, our work is driven by a deep belief in the transformative power of architecture. Its ability to shape how people feel, relate to each other, and connect to their surroundings.
Our approach is rooted in clarity, material honesty, and the quiet strength of well-crafted spaces. We design with care and precision, creating buildings that are calm, tactile, and grounded. Spaces where every detail has purpose and every experience feels considered.
We believe that good architecture improves daily life. It gives rhythm to how we move, rest, and interact. It supports wellbeing, not through excess, but through balance: between light and shadow, solid and void, natural and built. Our projects respond to their context with sensitivity, always looking to frame views, capture light, and create atmosphere.
From remote rural homes to urban creations, each project is approached with the same level of dedication. We work closely with our clients and collaborators, developing spaces that reflect their values while remaining timeless and honest in expression.
Our architecture is not about spectacle—it is about resonance. It invites presence, reflection, and ease.
Ampuero Yutronic es un estudio de arquitectura y diseño fundado por Catalina Yutronic y Javier Ampuero. Con base en el Reino Unido y Chile, nuestro trabajo nace de una profunda creencia en el poder transformador de la arquitectura: su capacidad de influir en cómo nos sentimos, cómo nos relacionamos y cómo habitamos nuestro entorno.
Nuestra aproximación se basa en la claridad, la honestidad material y la fuerza silenciosa de los espacios bien construidos. Diseñamos con cuidado y precisión, creando arquitecturas calmas, táctiles y arraigadas. Espacios donde cada detalle tiene un propósito y cada experiencia se siente pensada.
Creemos que una buena arquitectura mejora la vida cotidiana. Da ritmo a cómo nos movemos, descansamos e interactuamos. Promueve el bienestar no a través del exceso, sino del equilibrio: entre luz y sombra, lleno y vacío, naturaleza y artificio. Nuestros proyectos responden al contexto con sensibilidad, buscando siempre enmarcar vistas, capturar la luz y generar atmósfera.
Desde casas rurales en paisajes remotos hasta intervenciones urbanas, cada proyecto es abordado con la misma dedicación. Trabajamos de cerca con nuestros clientes y colaboradores, desarrollando espacios que reflejan sus valores y que, al mismo tiempo, se mantienen atemporales y honestos en su expresión.
Nuestra arquitectura no busca el espectáculo, sino la resonancia. Invita a la presencia, la reflexión y la calma.
Philosophy
Design Ethos
We believe buildings and design are deeply rooted in the individual experience. It is brought to life by how people experience buildings and how buildings affect them. Our work seeks to reconnect people with their senses and the physical experience of their environment, achieving this through the careful use of pure and tactile materials, quality of light and space, resulting in a clear and timeless design.
Quality
Quality is connected to a set of values and is an open concept built on knowledge. It is a combination of aesthetics, technology, economy and environment in a working entity that characterises the quality of a successful design.
The strategic direction of the practice is set by the directors. Overseeing the day-to-day management, quality and the design ethos of the practice, they have the overall responsibility for every project, from the start of the design process through to technical detailing and construction.
Wellness and Sustainability
We believe that good design should be intrinsically sustainable. It is also imperative we keep pace with the latest thoughts, evolution and technical developments in sustainable design. We aim to extend our capabilities further than simple environmental standards. We believe that prevailing thinking in current sustainability and design is going beyond the carbon footprint of a building or its energy efficiency to include the health of the occupants inside the building, or the ‘wellness factor’.
Collaboration & Research
Every project is approached with a fresh outlook and we are devoted to the idea of collaboration and exploration. We welcome opportunities to work with a multi-disciplinary team and cultural thinkers as we believe this makes our practice more resilient and intellectually exciting. Our concepts become meaningful through continuous dialogue, with communication as a prerequisite to achieving a carefully considered and exemplary project.
