Innovative
Architecture
and Sustainability​

We are an interdisciplinary team with over 20 years of experience in the architectural field, supporting large projects from a strategic perspective.​

Cases​

We develop innovative and consistent architecture. We integrate engineering with civil architecture, designing specific plans for each execution process.

Baugruppen
Holmberg Case​

Based on our experience in collective housing in large cities, both public and private, we identified the middle segment's difficulty in accessing housing. Thus, we developed BAUGRUPPEN_ construction pools.​
Baugruppen is a way to synergize efforts. EA manages the pool's synergy to purchase land, design, document, and oversee construction. Each unit is designed based on the user's specific needs, square footage, layout, and living preferences. The pool approves the general preliminary design to achieve a base project. Additionally, EA develops special finishing projects upon individual request from each owner.​
This innovative model proposes responsible projects incorporating sustainability strategies. Green roofs, passive enclosures, and shared infrastructure create efficient projects with low consumption, low expenses, and maintenance. Truly integrated projects that cater to the human scale.​

Offices
Prysmian​

The Prysmian Group, a global leader, entrusted us with reinventing their administrative offices. The challenge was to transform an old industrial warehouse into a modern and functional workspace reflecting the company's vision: sustainability, innovation, and market leadership.​
To address this project, we developed a concept that merges the building's industrial heritage with the company's values. The final result is a unique and stimulating workspace that combines the original structure with contemporary distribution, enhancing employees' quality of life. Open and flexible spaces, collaboration areas, and rest zones with greenery. Ultimately, the project reflects the company's identity, and the environment communicates its values, strengthening organizational culture.​

Sentire

Bairex, an emerging developer, approached us for an ambitious project in northern Buenos Aires. The goal was clear: to develop a line of residential buildings that, despite being located on unique plots, shared a visual and quality identity that would make them stand out in the real estate market.​
To achieve this, we adopted an integrated approach combining: thorough analysis of each plot and personalized design. On one hand, we studied each location's characteristics in detail, considering factors like solar orientation, views, urban regulations, and context. On the other hand, we developed unique architectural projects for each plot, maximizing their potential and creating spaces that harmoniously integrated with their surroundings.​
Despite the diversity of projects, we established a common strategy that unified the buildings' identity and generated a strong brand impact. We incorporated sustainability criteria, aiming to reduce environmental impact and improve future residents' quality of life.​

San Gerónimo

Grupo Farallón, a long-standing client in construction and development in northern AMBA, entrusted us with designing the San Gerónimo project. The main guideline for the master plan was to focus on the strategic location between downtown Pilar and the Austral University Hospital, dividing the plot into two sectors: one commercial and the other residential.
In the residential sector, we designed a neighborhood that offers three spatial scales: the intimate of the home, the social of the buildings and the collective of the large central park. The seven residential buildings are organized around the park, offering a variety of typologies and sizes to suit the needs of each family. This park, which preserves the existing trees, has several amenities such as swimming pools, sports courts, a multipurpose room and a children's playground. The internal road network, with low-speed streets, guarantees a quiet and safe environment.
In San Geronimo, we seek to enhance the natural conditions of the land and its location through contemporary architecture.

Atelier
Aguirre

Atelier Desarrollos is the result of the integration of Tomás Lier Arquitectos with CHD arquitectos, Francisco Altgelt and Juan Pablo Haloua.
The architectural guidelines of the Atelier Aguirre case were marked by its location in the audiovisual district, the size of the land (26 m in front) and the commercial proposal of the environment. In this sense, the programmatic approach was clear: to create a mixed-use building. The space is organized around the circulation and service core located in the center of the floor plan, thus freeing up two sectors (front and back). Patios, terraces and balconies are part of the repertoire of outdoor spaces available to the units.
The structural strategy of creating a slab without beams makes it possible to free up the floor plan, resulting in great flexibility to propose the internal modular distribution of each unit according to the needs of each user.
The image of the building reveals the raw materials used, concrete, wood and metal, chosen for their neutrality and rationality in use and maintenance.

Santa Fe

The project's strategy is based on providing an urban response to an urban void between consolidated buildings in the Palermo neighborhood, in the city of Buenos Aires. The land was framed by two buildings of different heights and depths. The volumetry was studied in such a way as to give continuity to the consolidated fronts, generating an adjustment piece that resolved in its broken façade and floor plan the continuity of its urban fronts. Likewise, an internal courtyard was proposed in conjunction with the neighbor's courtyard, which improves the lighting and ventilation conditions of the building and its neighbor.
At the programmatic level, it is a multifamily housing building with compact units complemented by a series of amenities (laundry, sum, green terrace, bike racks) providing comfort for urban life.
The building's image is the result of a search for sobriety. Exposed concrete, black aluminum carpentry and masonry with black plaster on opaque walls.

What We Do

We work as a research and development platform for architectural and urban planning projects. We address all scales, from land feasibility to furniture design, providing sustainable solutions for each need.

Conceptual Design

We analyze the land and create a spatial proposal adapted to the context.

Preliminary Project

We develop the architectural proposal and the necessary engineering to budget the construction.

Project

We specify construction strategies and resolve technical conflicts.

Construction Management

We supervise costs, deadlines, and quality, ensuring traceability and coordination.

Technological Development

We apply our experience in design and technology to develop innovative proposals.

Academia

We are interested in academia, the formation, and the transfer of architectural projects.

How We Work

With the professionalism and specificity of our interdisciplinary team, we use critical architectural thinking to address the project and its execution.

  • Design

    It is our essence. We work with the client to generate architectural ideas.

  • Flexibility

    We adapt teams and resources according to the specific needs of each project.

  • Knowing How to Venture

    We combine client assignments with our own ventures, allowing us to better understand the challenges.

  • Interdiscipline

    We integrate engineering, design, and architecture to create consistent and effective proposals.

Who We Are

We are Tomás Lier and Lucía Solari, architects. We lead Estudios Asociados, a team specialized in different dimensions of a project that provides comprehensive and specific responses to help each client achieve their goal.

In 2017, we founded EA. We inherited an architectural worldview from our families as a way to understand what surrounds us. We continue the tradition of constructing quality architecture, recognized by both our historical and new clients.

The origins of Estudios Asociados (EA) date back to 1943, when Juan and Mario Solari Viglieno partnered with Rubén Giménez Rafuls. Their architecture office left a mark on modern architecture in the city of Rosario.

Raúl Lier carried out iconic projects in Buenos Aires, the interior of the country, Uruguay, and the United States from 1975.

Our work develops both in the studio and on-site. Understanding the functioning of teams, execution processes, and tools is key to the success of new projects.
