ÁBATON was established in 1998 by Camino Alonso (Architect), Ignacio Lechón (Architect) and Carlos Alonso (Industrial Engineer). The original purpose of the company was to develop carefully planned architectural and housing projects with a strong commitment to design and the impeccable quality of the final product. In order to oversee the entire construction process and ensure the quality of the project, ÁBATON set up its own building company that enabled it to implement and develop new and more flexible construction systems. Since then, we have been researching materials and new solutions that we have incorporated to our projects. Since ÁBATON was established, Camino Alonso has been the Creative Director, implementing a unique style based on the design of efficient, simple and, above all, human spaces linked to the environment and with a special concern for nature. ÁBATON is fully aware of the footprint that building generates in the environment and our goal is to minimise that footprint as far as possible: our construction projects are designed to include low environmental impact materials that are ecological, easily recyclable and affordable; rainwater is always returned to the land to ensure the natural moisture of the area being developed. To date, ÁBATON has completed about 200 projects (housing, hotels, offices, restaurants) and it has renovated more than 80 homes in Spain and abroad. Our work has been acknowledged in the specialised press in more than 80 countries
