MAIN OFFICE is an architectural practice based in Mexico and in Sweden, working within the fields of interior design, architecture and urban planning. Founded in 2014 by architects Dante Borgo and Isabella Eriksson, MAIN OFFICE rejects any precipitation on the architectural form. MAIN OFFICE is convinced that taking the time to involve the client in the design process fosters better architectural quality.
“Each project is special and a challenge; therefore we like to go beyond standard solutions in order to re-define new typologies.” says founders Dante Borgo and Isabella Eriksson.
MAIN OFFICE strongly believes in design as a process and that analysing each parameter of the project is an opportunity rather than a limitation. Whenever there is a strategic approach to the project, restrictions turn into key elements to develop innovative projects that suit all kinds of budgets, locations, and rigorous design and construction agendas. MAIN OFFICE’s portfolio includes several residential, hospitality and retail projects in Mexico and in Sweden.
