ARQON | Architecture and Design-Build Firm
Leading Architecture and Design-Build Firm in the Philippines
About Us
"Discover Our Passion for Creating Timeless and Innovative Designs"
Founded in 2016 by three friends with a shared passion for travel and design, ARQON was born from the belief that great architecture is both personal and purposeful. Over 19 years of professional experience have shaped our perspective and refined our craft, allowing us to create spaces across the Philippines—from private residences and boutique hospitality projects to commercial and large-scale developments.
Our design-build approach bridges concept and execution, offering a seamless, transparent process from the first sketch to final turnover. This method minimizes stress, saves time, and provides you with a single point person. Beyond design-build, we offer full architectural consultancy across diverse building types and scales—residential, commercial, institutional, and mixed-use—delivering thoughtful, sustainable, and innovative solutions.
At ARQON, we don’t just create buildings. We craft spaces that inspire, perform, and endure. Every project is an opportunity to build something meaningful. A place where lives unfold, businesses grow, and communities connect.

ARQON is Founded
ARQON is established by three Filipino architects following a global design journey across North America. Inspired by heritage, innovation, and everyday life, they set out to build a firm rooted in collaboration, creativity, and craft.
Completing The First Project
ARQON completed its first full design-build home—a private residence that combined minimalist form with tropical function. This milestone set the tone for the firm’s signature: thoughtful, tailored spaces that respond to real life.
Expanding Services
ARQON began working on commercial and institutional projects, including offices and educational spaces. These new typologies allowed the firm to grow while maintaining its human-centered approach to design.
Launching Full Consultancy Services
ARQON had expanded to offer full architectural consultancy for large-scale developments—partnering with developers, corporations, and contractors to deliver technically sound, design-driven solutions.
Strengthening Interior & Visualization Services
ARQON formally established its in-house interior design and 3D visualization team—enhancing the client experience and enabling seamless integration from concept to finish.
Forging Strategic Partnerships
ARQON began forming key partnerships with builders and developers, strengthening its presence in the industry while staying true to its design-first philosophy.
"Discover Our Passion for Creating Timeless and Innovative Designs"
We believe that good design goes beyond aesthetics—it should be functional, sustainable, and responsive to the people who use it. At ARQON, our approach is grounded in a deep understanding of our clients’ needs and the unique context of every project. We collaborate closely throughout the entire design process to ensure each space reflects their vision while balancing beauty, purpose, and practicality.
We take pride in delivering work that feels personal yet timeless—spaces that not only look good but work well, adapt gracefully, and leave a positive impact. Whether it’s a home, a workplace, or a development, we design with intention, build with integrity, and always put people at the center.
