In collaboration with the architecture firm UMWELT and landscape architects LANDMRX, we were selected as the winning team in an anonymous competition organized by EFE, the national train company of Chile. The competition brief asked to transform an icon of modern architecture - the brutalist former postal sorting office (1974) designed by the Chilean architect Boris Guiñeman - into their new corporate office building. The jury evaluated 22 proposals and choose the project labeled EFE 033 by the consortium of UMWELT+ PRODUCTORA+LANDMRX as the winning proposal.

The Mies Crown Hall Americas Prize 2022, now in its fourth cycle, celebrates the best-built works completed in the Americas between January 2018 and December 2021. The winner will be announced in April 2023.

The jury found commonality in the typologies and focus among these built works- more specifically, meaningfully connecting to the surrounding communities by employing regional means and methods to build; exhibiting immense respect for their context, climate, and environment; celebrating cultural values in their highest form; and addressing significant problems, with excellence - coupled with an understanding of the way architecture can impact a population and benefit people in their living, working, and learning environments.

PRODUCTORA + UMWELT + LANDMRX are one of the finalists of the adaptive re-use of a former brewery in Limache, Chile. Out of 60 teams that applied, the organizers selected 15 teams to participate in the competition. The proposal understands the landscape and the site itself as part of the museum experience and adds a machine-like figure to the back of the existing building to unlock the full potential of the historic brewery. The jury awarded our proposal 3rd prize.

PRODUCTORA’s team is one of the winners of the competition Al Nouri Mosque Complex (4th place of 123 competing entries).
