Pezo Von Ellrichshausen

Pezo Von Ellriscshausen Architects was founded in Bueno Aires in 2001 by Mauricio Pezo and Sofia von Ellrischausen. It has been ten years since they moved to Concepcion in Chile and that they started exploring the inextricable links between art and architecture. Their architect studio reminds us that the quality of the projects lies, not in the great discourses, but precisely in the smallest details and approximations. Pezo Von Ellriscshausen Architects has won numerous awards such as the Rice Design Alliance Prize in 2012 or the Emerge MCHAP Prize in 2014 amongst others. They also have been chosen to be the Chilean Pavilion curators for La Biennale di Venezia in 2008.
