Mauricio Rocha founded his practice in Mexico City in 1991, and was shortlisted for the AR Emerging awards in 2009 for the School of Plastic Arts in Oaxaca. Since then, Rocha has designed buildings around Mexico, many in collaboration with the architect Gabriela Carrillo, who was a partner at the practice between 2012 and 2019.

Projects include the Centro de Invidentes y Débiles Visuales (Centre for the Blind and Visually Impaired) in 2001 – and the renovation of a library on the site in with Carrillo in 2015 – the Pátzcuaro Criminal Courts from 2015, a brick studio for Rocha’s mother in 2016, and most recently the extension of the Museo Anahuacalli in Mexico City.
