The architecture of the city of Mérida is so typical and interesting that I have always wanted to work as an architect to preserve and enhance it. Knowing how to combine the new architecture of the moment with the old traditions is exciting.

Architect

After graduating from the Universidad Autónoma de Yucatán in 1994 with a degree in architecture, Henry Ponce started his own design and construction studio, developing several projects, while also travelling and collaborating with various other architects and studios. It would be in 2001 that he finally opened his own interior design house. Currently he passionately carries out restoration work in the rescue of the architectural heritage of the city of Merida.
