Guardian Top Projects Mexico 2025

During the ceremony, the winning projects were announced—acknowledging works that, through the use of Guardian Glass products, help enhance and transform the spaces where they are applied.

Recognizing Architectural Achievement

More than 70 projects were submitted for this first edition. A committee of architects — Juan Carlos Alvear of Alvear Arquitectos, Jorge Arditti of Arditti+RDT Arquitectos, and Juan Pablo Serrano of Serrano Plus — evaluated the entries based on design, form, application, innovation, and environmental performance. Their assessment determined the finalists in each category. The winners were then selected through a public vote conducted on the Guardian Glass website. The finalist projects were recognized for their visual impact, architectural complexity, and effective integration of Guardian Glass products.

Guardian Glass Perspectives

During the ceremony, Luis Tames, National Sales Director of Guardian Glass, emphasized the role of the El Marqués plant as an economic engine that helps generate employment for more than 200 employees and contributes to global glass production.
He reaffirmed Guardian Glass’s commitment to communities, employees, and business partners, noting that glass is not just a material, but a key element that helps realize the vision and purpose of every space.

Giselle Manzo, Marketing and Communication Manager, announced the introduction of SunGuard® SXN60+, a product designed to combine a neutral aesthetic with strong energy performance.

She also presented Guardian Glass’s ongoing digital transformation, including the development of digital tools intended to help professionals working with glass access information efficiently. One such innovation, CLARIA™ ai-powered assistant, provides quick answers to glass-related questions, helping support informed decision-making and specification processes.
