Estudio Hofstadter-Fregosi

Estudio Hofstadter-Fregosi y Asociados is an engineering and lighting design practice in Montevideo, working from an office on Avenida Sarmiento. Directed by Ricardo Hofstadter and Joel Fregosi, it covers electrical installations, architectural and urban lighting and energy efficiency consulting, and it joins the architects early, treating light and power as part of the design of a building.

The portfolio runs through offices, public space, shopping centres, cultural centres, transport terminals, housing and health facilities. Its most visible lighting project is the Museo de Arte Contemporáneo Atchugarry in Maldonado, the ark-shaped museum Carlos Ott designed for Pablo Atchugarry’s sculpture park, lit by Joel Fregosi and Florencia Revello in 2021; for work abroad the studio limits itself to lighting design.
