CPDA has quickly emerged as one of the most recognized Mexican young firms, for its productivity and delivering imaginative in its design. Our belief that in order to face today's challenges, we must break with pre-established lacking and inoperative design models; and propose physical solutions that, in addition to innovation in their design, achieve an integration with its context: urban, social and cultural, of the site to be developed. Creating original and coherent architecture; meeting the user´s needs meanwhile contributing to improve the quality of the natural and built environment. Regardless of the scale or scope, we provide each project with the same high level of rigor and care. We respect the tradition and legacy of good Mexican architecture, in order to achieve this goal, we respectfully look back at the past not leaving by side the historical process and transformations of the context but creating an aesthetic reinterpretation of the elements that identify the site with its past, its present and its future. Firm recognition includes two medals from the Academy of Mexican Architecture, two honorable mentions from the Young Mexican Architects Biennale, Nominated for the RIBA International Prize in 2017, Highly Commented, World Architecture Festival in the small-scale housing category in 2018, Winner for The International Architecture Awards, The Chicago Athenaeum / The European Center of Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies, in residential multiunit category in 2019 and many more.
