‘Manuel Urbina & Lemon’ Intro.

We’ve been quite busy lately with some exciting projects on site and on the drawing board, so I thought I’d take a moment to properly introduce myself.

I’m Manuel Urbina, founder & architect, specialising in residential architecture and interiors. I established the studio with a simple philosophy: thoughtful design begins with a genuine interest in the people we work with.

Our studio’s approach to architecture is rooted in a profound appreciation for pure materiality and solutions — taking big ideas and refining them to their simplest form. We intentionally take on a limited number of projects each year to ensure every detail receives our complete attention. This dedication to craft and our ethics-driven approach have become the hallmarks of our practice as we continue to create beautifully considered spaces across London and internationally.

No introduction would be complete without mentioning Lemon, our four-legged office manager. With an impeccable eye for detail and an uncanny ability to boost team morale. Lemon oversees our quality control department. Though her architectural credentials are limited, her contribution to the studio’s warm atmosphere is immeasurable.

Looking forward to sharing more of our journey with you.
