UltraBarrio Information

UltraBarrio engages in architecture and urban design projects that respond to the urgent challenges of our communities. Our central goal is to shape cities to be more civic, sustainable, and generationally connected by design. Grounded in rigorous research, close observation, and deep collaboration with communities, municipalities, city agencies, and stakeholders, our work seeks to radically transform the civic realm. We build capacity for neighborhoods and cities to thrive by generating conditions that are never static, always adaptive, and uniquely magnetic. Recognized as one of Architect Magazine’s “Next Progressives,” UltraBarrio is distinguished by design excellence that bridges architecture, urbanism, and landscape with community visions. Our projects have been honored with the Architect’s Newspaper Best of Design Awards, the AIA Texas Society of Architects Design Award, and the AIA Houston Urban Design Awards. Across all scales, our practice is committed to uncovering and articulating the spatial, cultural, and contextual specificities that define each place.
