Venezuelan architect, graduated in 2006 from the Faculty of Architecture and Urbanism at the Central University of Venezuela, Lorena has resided in Saint-Barthélemy since 2007, where she has continuously practiced architecture. In 2013, she founded Gabaldon Architecture, and in 2014, she initiated a professional collaboration with Nicolas Lossent, based on a shared vision of tropical architecture, combining architectural conception, sensitivity to the local context, technical rigor, and operational capacity.
Her architecture is defined by a positive obsession for detail, a comprehensive understanding of projects from A to Z, and an unwavering commitment to coherence between design, technique, regulatory compliance, budget, and execution.
SERVICES
Lorena creates, produces, and manages the entirety of each project. From foundations to lighting, including functionality, materials, and every visible or invisible element, everything is carefully studied, selected, coordinated, and approved by her in close collaboration with the client. Nothing is left to chance: every decision has a technical, aesthetic, functional, and budgetary rationale. From the initial concept to “the smallest detail,” each project results from a rigorous process of design and validation.
She works directly with engineers, control offices (such as Socotec), regulatory authorities, and communities, ensuring coherence across all levels of the project: creative, regulatory, and constructive.
