Plan A is an architecture office based in Lima and Piura, Peru, led by Jorge Losada, Mario Alonso Ricci and Michele Albanelli. The partners have studied their careers in Peru, Spain and Italy and have taken postgraduate courses in the United States, Germany and Spain, practicing as professionals and enriching themselves in different contexts. Their team includes architects, interior designers and graphic designers, who allow a comprehensive approach to the architectural project and respond to its complexity from different angles; from spatial quality, technical construction or structural aspects to territorial, urban or landscape dimensions, going through economic or commercial aspects. This polyhedral composition allows them to develop pertinent and specific projects where the skills of each one will be put at the service of the client's proposals.
