Lorenzo Alonso Arquitectos, S.L.P. is an architectural firm, created in response to the complexity and growth of the studio directed by the architect Lorenzo Alonso González since 1979 with headquarters in Madrid (Spain) and Lausanne (Switzerland).
Throughout this period, the studio has carried out a large number of projects and investigations in the fields of architecture, urbanism, town-planning, sustainability and innovation.
The diagnosis and proposal of solutions to urban and environmental problems require the collaboration of different professionals, who are active throughout a wide spectrum of disciplines that range from legal matters, to environmental assessment, to historical and artistic evaluation.
This complex setting calls for the creation of a multidisciplinary team that has the capability to challenge the difficulties that arise in an expeditious and professional manner.
With its vast experience in architecture, Lorenzo Alonso Arquitectos sets the main base of this multidisciplinary team, which is itself complemented by specialists, proficient in the following areas of expertise:
1- Infrastructures – societies specialized in urban aspects.
2- Legal – a team made up of lawyers experienced in urban law.
3- Town-planning and urbanism – architects, geographers and sociologists with ample professional experience in both fields.
4- Creativity and innovation
In 2011, Lorenzo Alonso Arquitectos began its internationalization process, having performed since then works of different nature in various countries: (Spain, Switzerland, Turkey, Iraq, Saudi-Arabia, Bulgaria, Portugal, Italy, Cyprus), both independently and in partnership with oder architecture and engineering Firms.
At the present we are stablished in Spain (since 1979) and in Switzerland where we have started working in 2011, where we have carried out projects of Residential buildings (both single and collective), as well as Industrial, Offices, Urban Planning and Rehabilitation of Historic Buildings.
In all of them we have done the management of all licenses, obtained the building permits, and the liase with local authorities.
