Mission/Profile
At Freeman Fong Architecture we believe a collaborative environment and a collective approach to design create the highest level of achievement. For us, every success is the combination of meeting client needs, committing to professional integrity, and a focus on inspiring results.
Freeman Fong Architecture is committed to quality, innovation, and service. Architecture is more than fashion. We provide solid, sustainable design solutions that are both functional and aesthetically pleasing.
Creative architecture requires sensitivity, not architectural ego. Each of our projects takes on a character of its own, shaped by the client, codes, location and purpose. The best designs result from the partnership between clients, contractors and architects who understand and respond to one another with respect and trust.

His experience encompasses hospitality, residential, governmental, and entertainment projects. He is a creative designer with a curiosity that compels him to find new ways to resolve design challenges.
Rodrigo has been licensed as an architect in Mexico City since 2000. He is currently training to run a marathon in 2009.
