Nomos Architects

Information

NOMOS is an association of architects based in Geneva, Lisbon and Madrid.

Together we work on projects of all scales, from furniture to masterplanning, with great interest in cultural context and the environment.

Using drawing primarily to shape our ideas, we explore new ways of creating community through buildings that seek opportunities within constraints.

We approach each project with enthusiasm, care and curiosity; always striving for sustainable beauty.

Geneva is headed by Katrien Vertenten & Lucas Camponovo, and Massimo Bianco.
Lisbon is headed by Jorge Paquete.
Madrid is headed by Ophélie Herranz & Paul Galindo.
