About

Alejandro Felix Architecture was established in 2022 with a design approach focused on understanding and respecting the local context of each project, both socially and physically. Rather than being tied to a particular style, the work is defined on a case by case basis, aiming to uncover and enhance the unique potentials that each project offers, whether it is an object, a room, a building, or a part of the city.

​

The practice builds upon Alejandro Felix’s international experience. After growing up in Mexico City and studying at Escola Tècnica Superior d’Arquitectura de Barcelona, he moved to London to work for Adjaye Associates. He later joined David Chipperfield Architects, where he spent a total of seven years, including over three years in the London office and four years as a Project Leader in the Shanghai office. During his time in London, he worked on a diverse range of projects such as the new Southwest Wing of the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the conversion of the Eero Saarinen designed American Embassy in London into a hotel, and a mixed use high rise scheme in London.

​

While based in Shanghai, Alejandro led the redevelopment of Shanghai’s former City Hall, a 67,000 square meter project that involved refurbishing the symbolic building and constructing a series of extensions and new buildings to bring new life to the urban block and create a coherent ensemble. He also led various other projects such as the refurbishment of a 1960s modernist building in Ho Chi Minh City and a cultural retail building for K11 in Shenzhen.

​

Currently, the practice undertakes both the adaptive reuse of existing structures and the development of new constructions across a diverse portfolio of work. The studio is currently developing several residential projects in Spain and the UK, a mixed use project in Vietnam, and an office tower in Taiwan in collaboration with David Chipperfield Architects.
