Bak Gordon Arquitectos (BGA) was established in 2002 by Ricardo Bak Gordon. However, some of his works were transitioned from Gordon’s previous professional experience, that started long before in 1990, when he finished his education in architecture. The studio practice is best known for its residential houses, educational and public buildings. Ricardo Gordon’s career was launched in 1995, when he won the competition for the Residence of the Portuguese Embassy in Brasília.
After founding BGA, one of the studio’s first commissions was the Santa Isabel houses (2003-11), built inside an internal courtyard, which was awarded with the 2011 FAD Architectural Prize and represented Portugal in the Venice 12. La Biennale di Architettura (2010 ).
