founder’s note
“I founded this studio to create architecture that is deeply personalized, transformative, and designed to evolve with the people who live in it. “
- Fabian Lorenz, Founder
who we are
Fabian Lorenz founded his own studio in 2021 after more than a decade of experience at globally renowned offices including Bjarke Ingels Group, Skidmore Owings & Merrill as well as Leeser architecture. Working with these high-class designers, his involvement spanned large-scale civic projects, residential and mixed-use developments across North America, academic buildings, and experimental research into prefabrication and large-scale 3D printing in collaboration with NASA.
His practice is driven by curiosity, technical rigor, and a firm belief that successful architecture has to be custom-tailored to promote wellbeing, longevity, and the specific needs of each client. He views architecture as a spatial translation of a social structures and continuously advances his approach to suit a more just, healthy, and sustainable built environment. A certified Passive House designer, Lorenz is committed to high-performance, sustainable building.
As a visiting professor at Pratt Institute, Lorenz’s research centers on the ecological imperatives of our time and on how architecture can embrace a future that is both technologically progressive and deeply attuned to the self and the natural world. Through Studio Fabian Lorenz, he explores how new and existing typologies can be reimagined to meet emerging societal and environmental demands, shaping spaces that resonate with the communities and ecosystems they inhabit.

Our purpose is to create meaningful and highly individualized architectural solutions - shaped equally by technical rigor, curiosity about human wellbeing, and a drive to question convention.
our values
Through a collaborative and custom-tailored design process, we reimagine spaces and typologies to feel both aspirational and deeply familiar - crafting environments that are inventive, grounded, and built for how you live today, and into a future that is both high-tech and in tune with your self and nature.
