Aguilar & Esteve Arquitects has been inducted into the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce (WLCC), reflecting its positioning within a global network of leaders shaping the future of the luxury industry through innovation, sustainability, and strategic influence.
Based in Mexico City, Aguilar & Esteve Arquitects is an architectural firm focused on designing and building spaces aligned with a regenerative future. The practice integrates ancestral knowledge with advanced technological methodologies, including parametric modeling and precision tools, to create environments that reconnect individuals with the natural world while addressing contemporary living needs. Its work is grounded in a philosophy that views architecture as an extension of the land – responsive, intelligent, and purpose-driven.
The firm is led by founding partner Lucila Aguilar de la Lama and partner Jorge Esteve Aguilar, both graduates of Universidad Iberoamericana in Mexico City. Their professional paths reflect an international and interdisciplinary approach to architecture. Aguilar has developed her perspective through collaborations with established firms in Mexico City and New York, alongside academic engagement with institutions such as the Chicago Art Institute, RISD, ICP, and Bamboo U. Esteve’s experience includes hands-on work in sustainable construction and permaculture through Bamboo U in Bali, further studies in Norway, and contributions to educational initiatives at Green School Tulum. Together, their leadership brings a synthesis of artistic design, environmental awareness, and technical precision.
Membership in WLCC provides access to a high-level ecosystem defined by strategic dialogue, collaboration, and global connectivity. For Aguilar & Esteve Arquitects, this engagement supports its ongoing exploration of architecture as a tool for social and ecological integration, while positioning the firm among peers committed to advancing industry standards.
“Welcoming Aguilar & Esteve Arquitects into WLCC reflects a shared direction toward architecture that engages with both heritage and future-focused thinking. Their work demonstrates how design can operate as a meaningful interface between environment, culture, and innovation,” said Alexander Chetchikov, President of the World Luxury Chamber of Commerce.
Through its practice, Aguilar & Esteve Arquitects contributes to a broader redefinition of architectural responsibility – one that prioritizes regenerative principles, conscious design, and a deeper relationship between built environments and the natural systems they inhabit.
