Sordo Madaleno

Inspired by humanity, we cultivate designs with the power to enrich human experiences and transform the urban landscape.

We are Sordo Madaleno, an interdisciplinary architecture and design firm built on more than an 85-year foundation of experience and dedicated to the pursuit of design excellence with a deep focus on sustainability and human connection.

Our studio is a lab of transformation, the birthplace of new ideas, and the workbench where unique concepts become tangible outcomes.

We reimagine the full context of spaces from the human perspective, opening the door to ever more meaningful and valuable interactions among people, places, and the planet. Through an impeccable creative process, we develop solutions for each project that go beyond products to focus on models, functional structure, and alignment of intentions.

Our vision is informed by history and ignited by the spirit of innovation. In our studio, dreams are manifested into reality and new possibilities for community life unfold in delightful ways.

Founded in 1937 in Mexico City and directed through three generations of architects, Sordo Madaleno operates from our headquarters in Mexico City and our London studio. We embrace a global mindset while tapping into the richness of local contexts in an increasingly interconnected world, covering architectural, urban, and interior design disciplines.

As architects and strategic thinkers, we are inspired to craft human-centered environments that promote connection and maintain a deep focus on sustainability. These are fundamental benchmarks of design excellence.

Our methodology is pragmatic and rigorous. We embrace risk as a vital and necessary tool of our trade. We begin again as often as it takes to discover game-changing solutions.
