Projects

Serrano Monjaraz Architects is a firm founded in Mexico City in 1992. Their main goal is to develop architectural spaces in which the quality is achieved by the appropriate use of materials and light as creative elements.

Being space their raw material, architects Juan Pablo Serrano Orozco and Rafael Monjaraz Fuentes, demonstrate their capability and performance in all architecture fields always supported by interdisciplinary teams.

Their structure and professionalism has given them the opportunity to work in partnership with important firms as well as with national and international architects. They have been invited to national and international competitions and they actively participate in the formation and diffusion of architectural work.

For Serrano Monjaraz Arquitectos architecture is their means to collaborate in the development of a better urban context because the correct design of the spaces is the only way to create better cities. In the last 20 years they have seen how one of the largest cities in the world has grown around them and they have been fortunate enough to be a part of many of these important changes.

Their experience has been strengthened by the constant search of the perfect combination between form and structure. Their learning process has been fueled by their experience as students, collaborators and owners of their own firm, resulting in the vast experience they currently have in the field of architecture.

The population is the backbone of the cities and buildings, in which settlers spend their day to day, these are the elements that help them contribute with spaces designed to improve the quality of life of their inhabitants. They have had the opportunity to design, direct and execute residential projects, restaurants, hotels, cultural centers and housing developments.

The sensibility that they bring into their projects is the decantation of everything that they learn in their professional and personal activities as well as in their travels. Light, materials and technology are combined in a perfect balance to create the living space around the inhabitant. Their awareness regarding the ecological balance and nature has been present in their projects since their inception and they consider that sustainability is not a trend but the only way to make architecture. They are members of the Green Building Council Chapter Mexico, to strengthen their contribution in the architectural scene designing buildings that have the highest energy performance standards.

They have participated with their architectural work in various exhibitions in major countries like Mexico, United States, France, Singapore, Italy, Argentina, Ecuador, Sri Lanka, China, Australia, Greece and Spain, as well as in interviews and in various national and international magazines.
