LPArchitecture & Partners

What LPArchitecture & Partners does

LPArchitecture & Partners (LPA) is a Milan-based architecture and interior design studio founded in 2010 by Giovanni Longo and Alessandro Palmarini as a spin-off from the award-winning Studio A. The firm specializes in large-scale luxury residential projects, hotel architecture, and high-end interior design, operating as a turnkey provider covering the full project lifecycle from concept design and schematic design through design development, tender documentation, construction stage, and supervision. Its service model positions the studio as the client's representative, surveyor, and project manager, with stated emphasis on Italian craftsmanship, sense of place, comfort, drama and theatre, and the integration of international design knowledge.

The firm serves a high-end client base that includes luxury hotel operators (Six Senses, Ritz-Carlton), real estate developers (Caudwell Collection, FPMC Montecarlo, SARL Promocour 1850, Pizzarotti, Fine Properties Montecarlo), corporate clients (Zanichelli Editore, D-Link, Pecos srl), and private high-net-worth individuals. Projects are delivered across Italy, Monaco, France, South Africa, Qatar, Ethiopia, Switzerland, Romania, and Kazakhstan, with completed scopes ranging from 100 smq offices to 26,000 smq mixed-use developments. The senior-led team comprises two founding Senior Partners, three Project Managers, and six Project Officers supported by international experienced staff, all working under a project-based professional services fee model with no public disclosure of pricing or revenue figures.

The studio monetizes through project-based professional service contracts priced on scope, size, and complexity, with multi-year engagements covering concept through construction supervision. Distribution is primarily direct enterprise engagement, with senior partners originating new business from existing high-profile client relationships, supplemented by industry events (e.g., TECNO Design Week) and a portfolio-driven website channel. The ownership structure is founder-controlled, with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent company involvement.
