DISCOVER WHO
WE ARE

Our IDENTITY

HXC was founded in 2012 (PT) in Porto by the architect Henrique Xavier CAMPOS, operating between the micro and macro scales, exploring and developing buildings, outdoor spaces, and interior atmospheres. Established in 2016 (FR), the agency relocated to the south of France and is now based in Montpellier, operating between Perpignan, Lyon and Marseille.

HXC architecture engages in projects at various scales and across multiple domains. It is a multidisciplinary, dynamic, young, and passionate agency. For each project, whether it involves new construction or renovation, the studio collaborates with one or more local partners as needed. Creativity, functionality, customization, and organization are the guiding principles in space creation.

Each environment is a void that can be modified or created, so we approach each project uniquely. Initial conversations with the client are always a crucial step, informing and enriching our design response for the best possible result. We also place extreme importance on context and site analysis before any design process. This analysis leads to a deeper understanding of the place that supports the design of space, structure, and function.

We advocate for long-term thinking, reuse, recycling, and innovation so that proposals can have enduring beauty and function. Whether it's a large structure or a temporary small house, it should last for future requirements.

Our VALUES

Based in the picturesque South of France, HXC is an architectural design firm where innovation meets purpose. Our passion lies in crafting spaces that resonate deeply with the people who live and work in them.

Whether working with private individuals or professional developers, HXC thrives on challenges—designing for habitation, healthcare, offices, and beyond. With each project, we aim to extend your vision of life into the spaces you inhabit.

Our philosophy

Architecture is more than building structures—it’s about creating experiences, emotions, and a dialogue between space and life. As the founder of HXC, my approach blends artistic intuition with technical precision, drawing inspiration from nature, geometry, and the timeless beauty of Mediterranean living.

Every project is a journey, where bold ideas meet meticulous craftsmanship, shaping environments that reflect and enhance the lives of those who inhabit them. My passion lies in pushing boundaries, redefining how we interact with our surroundings, and designing spaces that inspire creativity, well-being, and connection.

Our VISION

Our mission is to shape the future of Mediterranean architecture—where homes, communities, and cities exist in harmony with the land and its people. We design not just for today, but for the evolving needs of tomorrow, with a commitment to sustainability, inclusivity, and resilience.
