Ingrid Jonsson de la Garza
Ingrid is passionate about architecture and interior design because of the impact that both practices have on our daily lives. As creators of spaces and atmospheres, we are responsible for the sensations we generate in users, so we must practice with awareness to create harmonious environments. Graduated in Architecture from ITESO University, her first real practice began in renowned studios in Italy. From this experience, in which the historic value of buildings and spaces must be absolutely respected, she learned that detailing and excellence in manufacture are fundamental in achieving outstanding quality. This is the perfect means by which the building and the interior design become involved in a harmonious and enriching interaction where the user will be able to experience excellence. This has become our opening statement for every project we become committed with.
For many years, her practice has alternated from working independently as well as collaborating with various architectural firms in Guadalajara. She has developed a creative and insightful vision of architecture as well as the ability to understand and synthesize the needs of users, investors and brands, adapting to different cultural contexts and architectural environments in order to provide exceptional design solutions with great aesthetic value.
