57STUDIO is an architectural firm founded in 2002. Its partners, Maurizio Angelini and Benjamín Oportot, are both architects from the University of Chile. Their work has been published, exhibited and awarded globally. In 2004, they won the XIV Chilean Architecture Biennial and were selected as part of the Chilean exhibitors to present at the IX Venice Biennale. In 2016 they were awarded the First Prize at Casa FOA, interior design exhibition in Chile. That year they were also recognized at the X BIAU Ibero-American Architecture Biennial. In 2018 they won the Best Object Design Award by Chilean ED Magazine. Their work seeks to maximize the relationship between the building and its context. This search is developed through a design process with a technical and constructive approach, harmoniously combining form, function and materials.
