Ponce de León Architects, based in Uruguay, opened its doors in 2004, after Arch. Carlos Ponce de León’s long-standing joint venture with Arch. Adolfo F. Pozzi Güelfi from 1985 to 2004. The successful architecture and planning company, which has designed projects around the world, has now been selected by Luxury Lifestyle Awards as one of the Top 100 Architects and Designers of the World, 2022. 

Arch. Carlos Ponce de Leon and his team are confident that the best results in every project arise from the constructive interaction that they have with each client. Since its inception, the firm has designed and constructed projects ranging from single-family residences to IT parks, hotels, and multi-housing developments in India, Sri Lanka, UAE, and many countries in South America, along with an ongoing flow of projects mainly in Uruguay and Argentina. The association between Ponce de Leon’s firm and worldwide renowned fellow Uruguayan architect Carlos Ott allowed the creation of a new practice specializing in large-scale master planning, cultural, office, and residential projects. 

Proving their dedication to the environment and our planet, the firm believes that architecture and sustainability are inseparable in an integrated design. Architecture presents a unique challenge in the field of sustainability. Sustainable construction, defined as the creation and responsible management of a healthy built environment based on resource efficient and ecological principles, intends to lessen the impact on our environment through energy and resource efficiency. This is achieved by minimizing non-renewable resource consumption, enhancing the natural environment, and eliminating or minimizing toxic emissions. 

Their practices make them leaders in terms of being committed to sustainable designs. That is why the architectural designs of Ponce de León Architects promote the incorporation of the word “green” in all of the design stages. 

With more than fifteen years of experience in diverse fields, their projects cover urban planning, industrial, interior and architectural design for recreational, retail, office, health, housing, administration, education, industry, laboratories, and multifamily and family residences. 

A key aspect of their practice is their collaboration with many of the most exceptionally talented in-house architects and outside consultants, without whose contributions their projects could not be completed to the standards they aspire to. 

The professionals at Luxury Lifestyle Awards have therefore rightfully chosen Ponce De León for a position in the TOP 100 Architects & Designers of the World for this year.  The TOP 100 is a list of the most worthy, reliable, and trusted representatives of the luxury industry in various categories from around the world. Luxury Lifestyle Awards chooses the Top 100 of the best companies and individuals, in 4 separate categories, who have earned the loyalty of customers and the recognition of experts. Dedicated professionals, who have consistently been providing luxury experiences within their sector, are honored through this program.
