Agencie

We push the boundaries of design and engineering.

Agencie is an architecture and engineering studio committed to shaping what’s possible.

The Team

Our MWBE firm is led by Andrés Cortes for architecture and Sarrah Khan for engineering, working on a wide range of projects including residential, retail, theatres, sports and aviation.

The quality of our work reflects our belief that great design arises from creativity synthesized with a deep understanding of structural integrity and material performance.
