Lombardini22, a multi-sector service platform

Among the integrated design players included in Sole 24 Ore and Statista's Leader Growth 2025 ranking is Lombardini22, which achieved a record turnover of more than 41 million in 2023. Architecture and engineering are the drivers of the company structured as a service platform specialising in different sectors. From office to retail, from living to hospitality to education, from data centres to urban design. L22's figure can be read in an offer that also marries neuroscience, virtual reality, inclusiveness and the Esg-included approach; attention to the management of the entire project, including technical activities of safety and fire prevention, project management, cost control and management of administrative practices. There are sixteen business units: some focused on design in specific asset classes and others designed to offer transversal services. Founded in 2007, the company was born thanks to the initiative of six professionals united by the same vision of work and values of respect and attention to the client. In addition to being number one in the ranking of Italian architecture companies based on 2022 turnover, for the third year running L22 is one of the winners of the Best Managed Companies Award, which rewards entrepreneurial excellence in Made in Italy promoted by Deloitte Private. Resources? Over 450 collaborators including architects, engineers, designers, communication specialists. 51% of the professionals are women, the average age is 35. Seven months ago Lombardini22 became a joint-stock company, a result achieved in conjunction with the presentation of the first ESG Report. Among this year's novelties is a business unit dedicated to the world of data centres.

"Lombardini22," say the company's management, "adopts a method based on the full involvement of the client in the control of the project. The flagship projects include the renovation of the former Sassetti Tower, which reopens as the hub of Milan's Fintech District dedicated to the development of finance, and the redevelopment of the Nervesa 21 offices, for which a 1970s building has been transformed into a sustainable metropolitan oasis. Also straddling the line between residential and hospitality is the first City Pop in Italy with the redevelopment of a building into 261 flats optimised for short- and medium-term rentals. For the future? The trump card will remain the multidisciplinary approach. And in terms of geography, the horizon will be the Arab world.
