Loeb Sarli Architekten is an architecture studio based in Basel and Miami Beach, founded in 2009 by Tamar Loeb and Edgar Sarli. The projects stem from the simultaneous belief that architecture is a medium capable of connecting humans to the physical world surrounding them, and a strong interest in building materials and systems of construction. This attitude places humans and construction at the foreground of their design sensibility.

The office has experience in architectural projects of different scales, with a high degree of emphasis placed on details. LSA engages projects from design to construction supervision and implementation. Because theory and practice are deemed of equal importance, the firm’s project-based research ranges from large-scale urban interventions to a collection of portable furniture for contemporary nomadic urbanites.

Edgar Sarli is an architect with practicing license in Uruguay and Florida, USA. He holds an Associate Professor in Practice position at the University of Miami School of Architecture, teaching Building Technology courses and he is also the coordinator of the Tropical Architecture for the Future Integrated Design Studio. Recently he joined the faculty of the Open City Studio, an itinerant summer workshop stopping next in Tokyo. Edgar received a Bachelor of Architecture from UM in 1999, and a Master of Architecture in Urban Design (MAUD) from Harvard University in 2004.

Tamar Loeb received her Diploma and Master of Architecture at the ETH Zurich in 2006. Subsequently she worked in the office of Rafael Moneo, Madrid until 2009 on the development of the New Congress Hall in Zurich. Already during her studies she has shown an interest not only in the design itself, but also in the process from the selection of the material to the end product.
