OUR PEOPLE

Claroscuro was incepted at the beginning of 2023.

Claroscuro is a Spanish word describing a strong contrast of light in a dark composition, creating volume and focus. The literal translation of the word is Claro “light” and Oscuro “dark”. We like to joke that it came out of our desire to “bring the light” to our projects.

Ignacio De Lorenzo

Architect, AAA

With over 30 years of industry experience in Europe and Canada, Ignacio specializes in multi-family Architecture. In his career internationally he has designed over 10,000 residential units, which means he has it down to a science. He has an eye for detail, a knack for pure logic, and a love of a good floor plan puzzle. He understands the value of careful consideration and patience, while ensuring quick and effective communication is the standard. His calm rational thinking and pleasant demeanour always keeps the office in a state of peaceful balance. We can guarantee that first thing in the morning Ignacio is doing Wordle in multiple languages with his cup of coffee. Ignacio and his family moved from Spain in 2013, as you can imagine he hasn’t quite adjusted to the harsh Canadian winter. You might find him frowning if caught outside from November to March! Ignacio and his sons love watching sports, especially basketball. As an international family they have a big love of travel and finding a new adventure!
