Pablo is an architect from the Universidad Iberoamericana of Mexico City and the Polytechnic University of Catalonia in Barcelona (2000-2005), he has a Master of Science in Advanced Architectural Design from Columbia University in New York.

…we are an independent practice dedicated to architecture, art, planning, urban design, and interior design projects.
As a result of Pablo’s interest in art, the office has collaborated with artists such as Rita Ponce de León with the interventions “Endless Openness” in Basel (2014) and “De, Desde, En, Entre, Hacia” at the Museum of Mali, Peru (2016 ); with Abraham Cruzvillegas he participated in the intervention “Milpa: Essential Ritual” in the Botanical Garden of the UNAM (2015). He has also been invited by the Kirkland Gallery of the Harvard Graduate School of Design to participate in the “A Quien Corresponda” (2019) exhibition. In 2021, he collaborated with Montserrat Castañon in the “Profundo” intervention at the ColorLife Trends COMEX event.
Process
Each project, from its conception, seeks to establish a dialogue with its natural or built environment.
Void
Emptiness takes value when there are intentions and its lefts to charge it of architectural tensions that could be lived with itself, and with its surroundings. We see voids as a new, open possibility for unexplored and unexpected architectural programs.
Idea
Time
Each project, from its conception, seeks to stablish a dialogue within its natural or built environment. The time is the vehicle that test our ideas, and with him, we can create a belonging sense.
