Lorna de Santos
Madrid, Spain
Lorna de Santos is a Madrid-based architecture and interior design studio embracing a unique aesthetic of warm minimalism. The studio designs spaces where the boundaries between architecture and interior design merge, integrating every detail of the process seamlessly, with a fundamental aim of creating environments that foster calmness, wellbeing and a deeper connection between people and the spaces they inhabit.

Lorna de Santos works at the intersection of architecture and interior design with a philosophy rooted in calmness, sustainability and the thoughtful use of natural and organic materials. The studio approaches every project with the conviction that design should go beyond the aesthetic and create spaces with genuine health and wellbeing benefits, using materials that improve the lives of the people inside them and return gently to the earth at the end of their life.
The studio's aesthetic language, which it defines as warm minimalism, is characterised by a deliberate restraint that never tips into coldness, a softness in the material palette that creates rooms of extraordinary quiet without sacrificing richness or depth. Every spatial decision is made with people in mind, considering thoroughly how residents will interact with the space on a daily basis and how the architecture can guide them toward a calmer, more connected way of living.
The project portfolio covers residential architecture and interior design commissions across Spain, each distinguished by the same quality of material thinking and spatial sensitivity. Named projects include OYG, ATA, COL and TPF, a series that reflects the studio's commitment to considered, authentic design built around the emotional needs of the people who inhabit each space.
Beyond spatial design, Lorna de Santos practices and advocates for the way of living that the studio's design philosophy describes, bringing an authenticity to the work that is visible in the consistency of the output across every project.
