GA ESTUDIO was founded in Santiago de Chile in 2008 by architects and educators Tomás García de la Huerta (1981, Chile) and Xaviera Gleixner (1984, Chile). The studio's work has been developed and exhibited mainly in Chile, although it has also reached other countries such as France, Italy, England, Argentina, Germany, and Portugal.

Additionally, the studio won First Place in the “Refugio de la Memoria” competition in the Los Lagos Region, Chile, in 2015, and was selected in 2025 as one of the 10 proposals to represent Chile at the Venice Architecture Biennale.
