Jorge Yulo
About
Jorge Yulo is the principal architect of Jorge Yulo Architects & Associates (JYAA), an efficiently sized Makati studio he established in 1995. Trained first as a fine-arts painter before moving into architecture, he brings a cross-disciplinary eye to a practice that spans residential, hospitality, civic, interior, and furniture design.
Yulo describes himself as "anti-style," grounding projects in user experience rather than typology and drawing on nature, human behavior, and gestalt principles. Sustainability sits at the core of the work: he leans on passive strategies using sun, wind, and water, and favors locally accessible, affordable green technologies.
Recent projects show this range, from the Equilateral House and the Reincarnated Villa, a rebuilt seventy-year-old family villa that reuses salvaged narra floorboards and antique elements, to the Hacienda Sta. Elena Community House. The firm's work has been recognized by the Architecture MasterPrize, the German Design Council's Iconic Awards, and the A' Design Award.
