ISABEL MARTINEZ ABASCAL, FOUNDER LANZA ATELIER
Isabel is a Madrid-native who I often seen biking around my neighborhood of San Miguel Chapultepec. She's someone whose style I've always admired from afar and then I had the opportunity to meet her when she worked on the renovation of Adeline's stunning home in La Roma. The office she founded in 2015 with her partner, Alessandro Arienzo, is right down the street from our studio and it was a delight to visit it. Lanza is one of the few firms that still works with paper models and each of these felt like a piece of art in its own right, you'll see below.
