Jeanette and Luis

Jeanette and Luis are like the yin and yang: opposites that create balance, energy, and direction. 

We don’t design things to be looked at. We design things to be felt.

If a space is beautiful but leaves you unchanged, it has failed. If it works perfectly but says nothing, it has failed. For us, design only matters when something happens, when people feel something, even if they can’t explain what it was.

We think as one, not as separate disciplines taking turns, but as a single way of seeing, questioning, and deciding. Architecture, structural engineering, graphic design—these are not categories to divide work, but tools to shape a shared intention. We don’t believe in labels, and we don’t believe in doing things “because that’s how they’re done.” Some rules exist for a reason. Others exist out of habit. We’re only interested in the first kind.

Our work spans buildings, film sets, exhibitions, posters, and spaces that don’t fit neatly into a category. What connects them is not scale or typology, but impact. What does this space do to the person inside it? What does it leave behind?

If someone encounters our work and leaves exactly the same, we’re not interested. If something shifts, even slightly, then the work has done its job.

That’s all we’re trying to do: make something that stays with you, even if you don’t know why.

More about Jeanette and Luis
Jeanette Muñoz Abela is the Co-founder of Bureau 105, architect and structural engineer. Jeanette creates spaces where structure meets story — shaping homes, cultural spaces, and worlds where people don’t just live, but feel. Her work is grounded in sensitivity, sustainability, and the belief that spaces can change lives.
Before co-founding Bureau 105, she contributed to internationally recognised projects like the Osman Gazi Bridge Türkiye, the London Olympic Stadium, and Tipico Tower Malta. When not designing, you’ll likely find her between a dance floor and a drawing table — where salsa rhythms and pencil strokes craft the stories behind her spaces.
 
Luis Muñoz Jean Baptiste is the Co-founder of Bureau 105, graphic designer, certified brand strategist, and cultural intelligence facilitator. Luis creates strange, cinematic worlds — crafting visual identities for brands, films, and cultural spaces. His work lives permanently at The Museum of Avant-garde (Switzerland). He has also contributed as a mentor for D&AD, supporting the next generation of designers.
When not designing, he wanders through horror comics, chaotic sketches, and the music of Danny Elfman — feeding the odd and whimsical universes that inspire his work.
