We are pleased to share a recent interview with Paloma Hernaiz, co-founder and director of OHLAB, where she discusses her journey through the architectural world, from Madrid to Shanghai, New York, and finally Mallorca. In this conversation with Julia Gamolina, Paloma reflects on the influences that have shaped her distinctive Mediterranean approach to architecture, emphasizing the importance of designing with the environment and emotions in mind.
Paloma also shares valuable insights for those starting their careers, offering advice on the importance of embracing unexpected paths and staying true to one’s values. As we approach 2024, she highlights OHLAB’s upcoming projects, including their new office in a historic building in Palma de Mallorca and the construction of an innovative hotel that will be the first in Spain to achieve both Passive House and LEED Platinum certification.
