gon is an architecture and design office based in Madrid directed by Gonzalo Pardo since 2014. His practice focuses on the research and development of singular architectural projects of different scales, ranging from urban planning to buildings and interior design.

The common denominator of his work is a playful, experimental, critical and optimistic view of contemporaneity. In a constant dialogue based on observation and detail, his interest focuses on the creative processes of architectural design and construction, as well as on the role of architectural mediation and communication as fundamental vehicles for the transformation of the world into a more sustainable, inclusive, dignified and free place.

Gonzalo Pardo graduated from the Higher Technical School of Architecture of Madrid (ETSAM) in 2007, and became Doctor of Architecture in 2016. His thesis Body and House: Towards the contemporary domestic space, the transformations of the kitchen and bathroom in the West obtained outstanding qualification (Cum Laude), and for it he received the Extraordinary Doctoral Thesis Prize 2016-2017 and an honorary mention in the XI call of the Thesis Competition of the Arquia Foundation.
