What DN arquitectura does

DN arquitectura (legal entity DNA Arquitectura S.L.P) is a partner-owned architecture and urban planning firm headquartered in Sevilla, Spain, operating from the Parque Científico Tecnológico de la Cartuja. The firm is led by five partners — José Luis López de Lemus (CEO), Harald Schönegger, Carlos Clavijo Macías, Belén Centeno, and Lidia León Gavira — each with over 25 years of experience, supported by a team of approximately 16–20 professionals that includes architects, a BIM technician, and administrative staff. It was incorporated on 28 September 2020 and operates with no external investors or parent company.

The firm delivers comprehensive architectural services from initial concept through construction management, segmented across residential developments (multi-family, single-family, and social housing/VPO), public facility projects (educational, healthcare, sports, civic), heritage rehabilitation, and large-scale urban masterplanning. Underlying methods include BIM-enabled project management, industrialized construction with prefabricated dry systems, and bioclimatic design approaches — notably a double-skin inhabited envelope with passive solar control and standardized modular envelope components. The portfolio includes a 26-hectare masterplan (Altos del Aire, 500 units, €90M projected investment), a 31,490 m² public care campus (Montequinto, €32.3M), and the OAMI headquarters extension in Alicante — the first new construction in Spain and Portugal to achieve the highest BREEAM sustainability rating.

The revenue model is professional services fee-based, with project-specific quotations across four customer segments: real estate developers (Neinor Homes, Grupo Insur, Vía Célere, Metrovacesa), public administration (Junta de Andalucía, Emvisesa, OAMI/EU), private institutions and heritage owners (Bodegas Góngora, Fundación Vedruna), and individual private clients. Go-to-market is direct engagement with enterprise developers plus participation in public architecture competitions, with no intermediaries or resellers and a geographic footprint concentrated in Andalusia but extending to Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, Cádiz, Málaga, and Huelva.
