About the Founder
Carlos Diaz del Pinal – Founder & Lead Architect
With over 12 years of international experience, Carlos has led more than 50 architecture projects across Europe, USA and Latin America. As Founder and Lead Architect of CDP, he brings a sharp eye for design, a hands-on approach, and a deep understanding of how spaces must perform both technically and emotionally.
Educated as an architect in Mexico and El Salvador, and later earning a master’s degree in Architecture & Design Business Management in Barcelona, he merges creative design with strategic thinking to deliver purposeful, people-centered spaces.
His career evolved from hands-on roles in construction and public works to leading the design and coordination of residential, commercial, and healthcare projects always with a commitment to detail, function, and meaningful impact.
Known for his clear communication, reliability, and collaborative spirit, he guides each project with care from concept to completion.
Based between Dubai, Madrid and El Salvador, he works globally, connecting cultures, teams, and ideas across borders. Let’s work together to bring your vision to life.
About CDP Architecture & Design Boutique
Architecture Tailored to You
CDP is an Architecture & Design Boutique grounded in the belief that good design should feel effortless but never be accidental. Every project is shaped through open dialogue, thoughtful analysis, and a deep respect for how people truly live and interact with space.
As CDP Architects, we work across residential, hospitality, commercial, and corporate projects, with a focus on clarity, functionality, and emotional connection. Whether designing a private residence, a multi-unit development, or a workplace, our goal is the same: to create environments that support, inspire, and adapt to real life.
What sets CDP apart is our personal, hands-on approach. We stay intentionally small to remain agile and deeply involved. From concept through construction, each project receives focused attention and tailored solution backed by years of experience and an eye for the big picture.
Design that listens. Architecture that works.
