In 2003, after graduating from University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in Belo Horizonte in his native country of Brazil, Fernando de Mendonça made the bold decision to move halfway around the world, from the vibrant culture of the south to the enigmatic nature of the north. After collaborating with Pálmar Kristmundsson at PK Arkitektar for over nine years, de Mendonça worked in London with David Chipperfield on projects in the UK, Spain and United States, including a Technology Quarter in Segovia, Spain and the Menil Collection in Houston. Two years later, his work took him back to Brazil, where he collaborated with the renowned Brazilian architect Isay Weinfeld on large-scale projects in South America and Europe, such as private villas, multi-family housing complex in Sao Paulo and a luxury building in Monaco. In 2013, Fernando returned to Iceland to join Pálmar Kristmundsson as managing partner of PKdM. ‬‬‬‬‬‬‬
