atelier

The LOCI studio, formed by Romain Lucas and Belén Ramos, was born to give a name to the work process they carry out together and in collaboration with other colleagues. Combining research and practice, they cover diverse areas such as public competitions, private commissions, editorial work, and workshop prototypes, always from a single perspective: that of architecture.
