Selected Work:


01/
Forest Edge

Residential


A single-family residence organized around threshold and material contrast. Concrete, wood, and steel define distinct moments across the section. The project locates itself carefully within its landscape — observing before occupying.




02/ 
Canopy

Residential
In Progress


A residential study in mass orientation and threshold definition. Social and private zones are separated through volumetric displacement rather than walls. The project exists currently as process — observation before form.




03/ 
González 951

Multifamily


A housing study organized through clarity, proportion, and repetition. Material contrast anchors the ground level while lighter volumes rise above. Openings are controlled and rhythmic — discipline over expression.




04/ 
AGZ Corporate

Commercial


A workplace organized around a central double-height void connecting all levels. Circulation wraps a steel staircase and a single tree — structure, movement, and nature in one gesture.




About

Oscar Astorga
hey@oscarastorga.com





Architectural designer from Culiacán, Mexico — based in California.

Twelve years working across residential, commercial, and public architecture. Trained at the Universidad Autónoma de Sinaloa. My career began in Mexico, moving through projects at every scale — from custom homes to public space.

My work is process-driven. Each project moves from observation through concept to construction, balancing function, context, and material intention.

Foreign licensed architect verified by NCARB, currently progressing through the ARE toward California licensure.

Outside architecture — video, photography, illustration, and technology. Tools that sharpen how I see and how I build.
