Agustín Landa is an architect and a graduate of the ITESM Monterrey campus. From 2005 to 2015, he led TAL, a firm that completed various residential architecture projects and apartment buildings. In 2015, he took over the leadership of his father Agustín Landa Vertíz's firm, which became Landa + Martínez upon the addition of Rolando Martínez Rodríguez as a partner. That same year, he formed the studio Landa Suberville in partnership with Mónica Suberville.
Agustín is known for designing pioneering works that have activated new urban and real estate dynamics in rapidly growing cities. In residential design, his work has set new local trends, featuring facades closed to the exterior and interior spaces organized around terraces and gardens that leverage the region's climatic conditions.
Landa Ruiloba has been a professor of architectural design at Tec de Monterrey since 2015. Since 2017, he has co-directed the Catedra Blanca Cemex with Roberto Romero, an advanced design workshop that develops urban and architectural proposals for Monterrey.
Among many other awards, he has received the Gold Medal at the XX Nuevo León Architecture Biennial, three silver medals at the XV Mexican National Architecture Biennial, and the Prix Versailles for commercial architecture. He was also recognized as one of the "10 Firms Creating Icons of Mexico" and received the Trayectorias Award from México Design magazine.

Reflecting on the importance of the residential home in today's context, this talk focuses on the most representative single-family housing projects developed by our firm. The discussion will cover our personal approach to these spaces, exploring the spatial narrative and the resources employed to interpret and adapt to the lives of their inhabitants.
