We’ve moved up one place in the #WorldArchitecture100 2024 shortlist of the largest practices in Latin America!
Ranking seventh, Hyphen has retained a spot in Building Design’s shortlist of the largest practices in South and Central America, based on fee income, after our first appearance at eighth in 2023.
Eddie Miles, CEO at Hyphen, says, “Last year Hyphen added a Mexico City office to complement our presence in Santiago, Chile, so it is interesting to see us as the 7th largest in the region. This is a testament to Matias Menichetti who has grown our Santiago office brilliantly over recent years as well as Jimena Etchegaray who established our 10th office in Mexico. The Latin American market has a huge variety of cultures, plenty of opportunities and as we have discovered, great people to work with. Buena suerte!”

We’ve had a busy year in the data centre sector!
2023 gave us the opportunity to participate in a series of data centre events around the world, discussing the latest developments from Mexico City to Milan. We’ve been talking about data centre innovation and the essential role of the architect over the past 12 months, making invaluable industry connections in Monaco, France, Spain, Italy, Morocco, Mexico, Germany, Ireland and the UK.
A fitting end to 2023’s data centre event calendar was the DCD>Global Awards in London. We were delighted to join the judging panel and attend the event, celebrating some of the sector’s greatest success stories of 2023.
A huge thank you to everyone involved in making these events a resounding success! Here`s to the knowledge gained, partnerships forged, and the exciting prospects that lie ahead in 2024.
