With over five decades of experience, L35 has built a reputation for delivering innovative and cutting-edge architectural solutions. The firm operates out of 10 offices, located in key cities around the world, including Barcelona, Madrid, Paris, Milan, Miami, Mexico City, Bogotá, Santiago, Istanbul, and Abu Dhabi. Continuing their expansion, L35 has opened their newest office in Sotogrande, further consolidating its influence in the architectural world.
The prestigious firm L35 Architects was commissioned in 2019 to design the Village Verde development of 124 apartments on six hectares of woodland with indigenous cork oak trees nestled within La Reserva area of Sotogrande. This project speaks for itself in terms of success, with Phase One of four blocks now completed and sold out and Phase Two of six blocks structurally complete and two-thirds sold.
Many readers may already be familiar with your other project in the city of Malaga, the much-acclaimed Muelle Uno. This development has transformed the old quayside into a vibrant shopping promenade, while the upper level features a new walkway that creates a striking visual landmark: The Cube, now home to the Centre Pompidou.
Less well known is L35’s elegant spacious contemporary design for Antequera’s Santa Ana AVE train station which opened in 2007, more recently the prestigious AVE de Vigo Vialia station and the future project for the Torre Sevilla shopping centre.
Football fans will also be familiar with your flagship project in Madrid; the transformation of the Real Madrid Bernabéu football stadium, with its futuristic look and numerous improvements to the facilities, including a main entrance for the first time. In September 2024, the World Football Summit, the leading platform for the global football industry, announced that the renovation work by L35 Architects, in collaboration with GMP Architekten and Ribas & Ribas, had won the prestigious Best Stadium Award for 2024.
