Sofia von Ellrichshausen met Mauricio Pezo in Buenos Aires, and established an art and architecture studio in Chile that is known as Pezo von Ellrichshausen. Cien House, which the studio built for themselves, is located in one of the suburbs of Concepción, and is presented as an example of Chilean Modernist architecture in a 2019 article in The New York Times. Poli House, designed in 2005 by von Ellrichshausen, was included in the The Guardian's list of "The 10 best concrete buildings", and earned von Ellrichshausen the "Best Young Chilean Architect's Award". In 2009 The Architectural Review described their design for Casa Fosc as "playful".With Pezo, von Ellrichshausen was the curators of the Chilean Pavilion in the 2008 Venice Architecture Biennale, and she was a jury member at the 2018 Venice Biennale of Architecture.
