PAUL CREMOUX Studio is an architectural practice committed to designing sustainable, eco-effective architecture. Our goal is to produce architecture that celebrates life, enriches the natural environment, and the human condition. We envision a process that integrates environmental enrichment, beauty, and social responsibility with the client’s functional, economic, and aspirational needs.
We respond to our clients’ needs through a rigorous and systematic design process supported by advanced technological tools. We lead the development of projects of diverse typologies and scales with a high level of precision and control.
Our methodology integrates Performance-Based Design, Life Cycle Assessment, climate-specific analysis, and advanced modeling to anticipate building performance, predict energy consumption, and evaluate operational costs. This allows us to explore multiple design scenarios and propose solutions that align environmental responsibility, spatial quality, and economic intelligence—supporting our clients in making informed and confident decisions throughout the design process.
Paul Cremoux Studio’s work has been exhibited at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Mexico City and at the Royal Institute of British Architects (RIBA) in London, and has been selected by Architizer as one of the Best 30 Firms in Mexico.
The studio’s projects have been published in leading international architecture and design media such as Domus (Italy), Architectural Record, and Dwell Magazine, as well as in numerous national and international design magazines, books, and architectural platforms.
Our work has received multiple national and international distinctions, including WAN (World Architecture News), Best of Design by Houzz (USA), and Second Place in the Guadalajara Library International Competition.
Paul Cremoux Studio has also been awarded grants and scholarships from institutions such as CONACYT and FONCA, and maintains an active academic presence at leading universities, including UNAM, IBERO, Anáhuac University, and ITESM.
Forty percent of the world’s energy is used by buildings. More than 50% of greenhouse gas emissions come from buildings and the construction industry.
How we design and build today directly shapes the future of our planet.
For us, adopting sustainable alternatives is not a matter of trend—it is a matter of responsibility. From an architectural point of view, everything we build must be part of the environment and interact positively with it. We design with the conviction that architecture can regenerate rather than merely reduce harm.
We integrate advanced methodologies, including Performance-Based Design, Site Analysis, Energy Modeling, and Life Cycle Assessment, to develop passive and mechanical strategies that improve building performance and support informed decision-making from early design stages.
Architecture, for us, is both a cultural act and an environmental act.
1 Design for abundance and diversity. (William McDonough principle)
2 Work multidisciplinarily.
3 Create built environments that enrich the natural world.
4 Produce clean energy.
5 Design for all species and forms of life. (William McDonough principle)
6 Respect the nature of each circumstance.
7 Design with morality, conscience, and responsibility.
8 Be part of the new industrial re-evolution.
9 Analyze natural production systems.
10 Be the Human resource that the Natural world needs. (William McDonough principle)
