A graduate of the University of Guadalajara in Mexico and the University of Navarra Pamplona in Spain, Abraham Cota Paredes set up his studio in Guadalajara, Jalisco, working largely in the residential sector, with a focus on private homes in gated communities. The studio creates architecture that is ‘introspective’, as a response to the hustle and bustle of the typical Mexican metropolis. His favourite project is called House To See The Sky  as he feels it perfectly represents his office’s approach. The young practitioner hopes to keep creating projects he likes and to eventually be able to influence the way that Latin American cities are inhabited.
