Cedans Architect

Designs for Living

CeDans Architect LLC is an El Paso-based architectural firm that creates exceptional custom homes and commercial/civic space.

We specialize in design that's innovative rather than trendy. That’s affordable without cutting corners. That's both aesthetically pleasing and eminently livable.

We know that design excellence begins with the close collaboration between client and architect. We work with every client throughout the design and building process, from the initial design sketches through the final inspection. During this process we ensure that budgets are maintained and that all project deadlines are met.

Many clients choose CeDans because we're a boutique firm: the perfect size to design for their needs exclusively, yet able to bring to every project a wealth of talent, knowledge and creativity.

If CeDans has a signature style, it's our ability to incorporate site and setting into each design. We believe that a skillfully designed structure should fit seamlessly into the landscape, enhancing rather than intruding on its surroundings.

We also know how to use environmentally friendly building materials such as wood and stone to achieve effects that are beautiful, enduring and cost-effective.

When you choose CeDans to design your project, you'll work with a firm that settles for nothing less than perfection.

About CeDans President Daniel Mendoza RA

With more than 29 years of experience in construction, design and project management, Daniel Mendoza approaches architecture from a unique perspective.

His education in design began when he was a high school student working summers on a construction crew. He learned which building materials were best suited to the Southwest, and how a sketch comes to life under a builder's hand.

“When I was selected to design a new public library for Anthony, New Mexico, my clients
told me that they had a limited budget; a single cinder block building was all that they expected. I showed them that by using engineered wood frame construction, they could have a beautiful building at a third of their budgeted cost.”
